Thank you highlighting all of these artists! It may be "sad" from some people's perspectives that I'm not familiar with many artists from the diaspora but I'm thankful you shared them with us. On a completely different music note, I've had basically everything from Metro Boomin's new album on repeat and thought his rollout for it was and continues to be excellent.

Hey Paul! It's definitely not "sad", I think the American entertainment industries are really hard for non-American acts to break in to. In the last few years, people are finally starting to get comfortable watching movies and listening to music that's not in English so I totally understand why these artists fly under the radar. I haven't finished listening to Metro Boomin's album yet but I LOVED the rollout. After Beyoncé surprise-dropped her self-titled, I feel like a lot of artists abandoned the traditional rollout. Metro's really reminding us that there's an art to it and a rollout can generate just as much hype as a surprise drop!
