Written by ∆³ Care to guess the world’s most popular genre of music? If you guessed Hip-Hop, then you guessed right. However, that fact begs a myriad of questions. One of them includes the number of artists who call themselves rappers or emcees. A quick search on the web, or even the various music streaming services, should get you to a pretty firm answer: a lot.
