Since i do appreciate (rap) songs even if i don’t understand them, I need some recommendations from YOU for non-english rap songs or artists.
(I can’t really distinguish genres, so I’m trusting your judgment whether your recommendation fits)
(I’m also not a fan of german rap but you can recommended that regardless)
Edit: Thank you all for the recommendations 🐐. I did find a lot of new songs.
Kneecap when they sing in Gaelic
MC Solaar and Guru’s Le Bien, Le Mal had some attention at some point in the history of humans
Came here to mention MC Solaar. His talent is mind blowing.
manu chao’s mi gustas tu and his classic album Clandestino in entirety.
edit: i changed choice of manu chao songs because i’m fickle; but Welcome to Tijuana and el disapericdo are more greatness from them.
I love Many Chao, but I would have never interpreted it as rap? Anyway, OP said they cannot distinguish genres so it does not matter.
Creepy Nuts’ album LEGION from last year is quite good if you want some Japanese rap. They’ve gotten pretty big over the last few years due to being featured on Anime intros for shows like DanDaDan and Mashle.

I’ve been listening to Ukrainian hiphop for awhile and it’s way better than I expected.

Though they don’t classify exactly as rap, a bunch of their songs have strong rap elements. This one is with a sample of the legendary Umm Kulthum :)IAM - L’École du Micro d’Argent
A fantastic French Rap album, including a feature from Wu Tang
My all time favorite album. Glad someone recommended it
Pat Boy - Mayan, which sounds amazing in songs. Eg. Xiimbal Kaaj
Ana Tijoux - Chilean Spanish. Eg. 1977
CEZA - Neyim Var ki feat. Sagopa K
Has an English intro, but then it’s Turkish.
