Yes that's right and Youngs Teflon is another one and so is Colours Miyagi.

But most of the youths just give me a headache with their apparent "gangster lifestyles", which we all know most of them come all blacked out for a video shoot, but behind the scenes they are the total opposite.

I won't deny there are a few real artists out there, but no-one in the UK rap game is making that kind of money from music.

Everyone in the UK rap scene is broke, only US artist are making a decent income from this industry, now you cannot deny that?

Everyone in the UK rap game should just pack their bags and say bon voyage because no body in this scene is reaching the pinnacle that the US has mounted.

Hmm...I see your point but there are loads of cameras in Brixton therefore restricting crime. Some of them...are actually trying to blow like Sneakbo I think he left the gang culture and just does what he enjoys best. So they are still making money, I don't understand you accusing them of being broke when some of them clearly use AC method to get money.
So it is a pretty mixed story, gangs are still out there in Brixton and there are actually more than before.
But some UK rap artists use small YouTube channels to grow so that they can blow.

Most artists make money from publishing, I don't know but I hardly doubt 99% of UK rappers are making a decent living from this industry, maybe Chip and Tinie are making money but the rest are still stuck on their ***** council estate making youtube videos trying to get noticed and that's a fact.

They borrow their chains from Hatton garden then return it when the video is complete, and that's laughable because UK rappers are a bunch of posers, anyway we could go on about this all day. But let's agree to disagree, you think the UK rap game is growing I think it will remain in the same spot, the only artist actually making any kind of noise right now is Skepta and he is the only beacon of hope we have right now.

Most UK rappers are unsigned so obviously their income from music won't compare to the US. There are quite a few making a good living from it, Skepta, JME, Krept and Konan, Giggs, Lethal B. UK rap is mostly underground so it's not a surprise that the revenue doesn't compare to the US. If you are only into mainstream then fair enough

This tune is banging, hope the kid will blow one day.
Great vocals and well constructed bars.
London Rap Vs Chicago Rap.
Which is better in your opinion?

What I hate about uk rap is that of vids in council estates promoting violence talking about the people theyve murdered with guns and that. Real rappers like akala and lowkey which don't play up to the stupid guns and weed themes are real rappers not people like nines n ****.

Nah I havent heard that cover and I have never heard of the Slaves. And that Chance & Vic Mensa style of rap doesn't really exist, the UK doesn't have many rappers from the suburbs, so I couldn't tell you who to listen to off the top of my head, I'll have a think though.
Have had this on repeat for a while. This guy is sick.
