5 dope songs from international artists.

Forgive me if I ever refer to Grime and Afrobeat beat as Hip-Hop and it offends you. I am aware that they are not rap or Hip-Hop music as Americans define it and they have their own respective identities, but I want to put this under the umbrella of Hip-Hop culture so that Hip-Hop fans can access it because I believe it has appeal to that crowd.
