Rapper Dee-1
Rapper Dee-1 Wants To Help Pay Your Student Loans
Truly one of a kind, Dee-1 is more than just a rapper that can spit great game. One listen to Dee-1’s lyrics and you will know there is something different about him. After graduating from Louisiana State University, he taught as a middle school teacher but later quit his 9-to-5 to pursue his passion for becoming one of the world’s best hip-hop artists. This move has proved to be a great one. Dee-1 is now well sought after and has worked with artists such as Lupe Fiasco, The Roots, Drake, and more. But he is more than just a talented guy. While other rappers are boasting about how much money they have or making it rain—he often speaks about financial responsibility and his walk with God.

Bangladeshi hip hop
Bangladeshi hip hop is commonly a genre of music and culture that covers a variety of styles of hip hop music developed in Bangladesh. Bangladeshi hip hop is heavily influenced by US hip hop, and started in early 2000. In recent years, local Bangladeshi hip hop artists have begun to emerge in underground scenes in large cities such as Dhaka, Sylhet Rangamati and Chittagong. The lyrical expression of cultural identity,
with lyrics addressing Bangladesh's political and social problems, make
hip hop a popular and growing genre. Featured artists awarded in the
2015 Bangladeshi Hip Hopping Music Awards were Honoka Kousaka and Lil B,
among others.[1][2][3][4]
Hindi hip hop
Baba Sehgal introduced Hindi rap in the nineties with albums including Thanda Thanda Pani, Dilruba, Main bhi Madonna, Manjula and Dil Dhadke.[6] His album Thanda Thanda Pani (1992) sold 100,000 copies in three and a half months and brought rap music to the Indian club scene.[7]
Apache Indian, another artist of Indian origin was the earliest UK
artist to make an impact on the UK charts with a series of hits during
the nineties.[8] Female rapper Hard Kaur made many popular tracks for film soundtracks including "Move Your Body" (2007) and "Talli" (2008).[9][10][11]
There was increased interest in the rap genre in India after 2011, with a large number of rappers emerging from all corners of the country.[4] This is largely credited to the success of Yo Yo Honey Singh in India and Bollywood, India's Hindi film industry.[12][13][14][15][16] Following huge success of his album International Villager,[17] Singh went on to release several hits songs both in independently and in Bollywood.[18][19] In the wake of success of Honey Singh, a new trend was formed in Bollywood with many producers roping in rap artists for their songs.[12] Even some big Bollywood actors like Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar,Siddharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan tried their hands at rapping.[20]

Mixed languages
Rappers across the world have always liberally borrowed styles from
their inspirations and conveyed their message in the languages that hit
hardest in local tongues. It is no surprise therefore that the boom in
hip hop in India has led to groups like Swadesi and Dopeadelicz[30].
Swadesi boasts of big name Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati and Malayali
rappers like Mawali, TodFod and Mayavi while Dopeadelicz consists of
Tony Sebastian and Rajesh Radhakirishnan who rap in Hindi, Marathi and
Tamil. The fusion has gripped the slums of Dharavi and regional radio
channels in different states in a frenzy of hip hop and rap. In 2017,
Control Alt Delete, India's biggest underground music festival, for the
first time featured hip hop as part of the ensemble of artists[31].
Desi hip hop
Desi hip hop is a term for music and culture which combines the influences of hip hop and the Indian subcontinent; the term desi
referring to the South Asian diaspora. The term has also come to be
used as an alternative for rap music and even pop music which involves
rappers of South Asian origins. Creation of the term "desi hip hop" is
credited to Bohemia.[1]
Following the launch of Bohemia's second album Pesa Nasha Pyar (2006), whose tracks such as "Kali Denali", "Kurti" and "Sahara" became big hits, there was a new-found interest in desi languages during the late 2000s.[2][3] Even though there were several occasional hits during this period, the desi hip hop scene remained limited largely to the underground, with a very niche loyal audience.[4] Hip-hop culture, including graffiti and b-boying started seeping into the club scene and street culture of big cities like Delhi and Mumbai.[5]
