Hey everyone! We've been hella busy for almost a year, crafting a major upgrade to Foreignrap. Today we're extremely happy to release version 2.0. 🌍 Hundreds of hours of love from many contributors have gone into making this a reality – Foreignrap is a VHS inspired crazy website full of international rap music videos, from Norway to Japan. It's super difficult to find international rap music, compared to music from the US. Foreignrap instantly connects you with the best rap music from around the world. πŸ“Ί What's new? * The global experience is now way smoother and faster * There's now a latest category so you'll never miss a new track * You can now select multiple countries to play tracks from * You can now select continents to play tracks from * More controls (previous track, volume, full screen) * The website now works on mobile * We've added almost 500 new songs (edited) πŸ“¦ Discover our new Merch Store We also started a campaign on Everpress to provide new pieces every season! www.everpress.com/foreignrap Special thanks to Jimmy, Arne, Wouter, Timo, Florian and Prekesh who made this real and of course Niek, Marty, Ariel and everyone who helped us with everything. ❀️❀️❀️

@vimarethomas also, for the ones that want to listen to this at the office, click 'H' to hide the video πŸ‘€

Hey @azizfirat & @vimarethomas loved the site's UI, even more finding new artists and even even more that noisy filter you're using! Just a little heads up as the Colombia channel is showing only Brazilian artists :P
Aziz Firat
@vimarethomas @juanpablosarmi good catch! Will fix it, thanks!
@marty
I've seen behind the scenes how much work & love went into this, so congrats gang! It's cool that people can come together and devote hundreds of hours of their free time to build a completely free product, just for the love – and it shows. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Very awesome product! I love to see innovation from the music sector. This filter you guys overlay is amazing looks better than all the original ones! What else did you guys place on the overlay aside from grain? If you don't mind me asking.
Thomas
@alfonso_rodriguez1 nice catch! We wanted to make the "resize" effect barely visible and keep it on the video. It's still here on top of the video but it's very subtle, maybe we'll try more versions of this! πŸ™

I've been a listener to Foreignrap for a long time, it's my go to Friday afternoons. This update is not just another incremental change, it's a paradigm shift. So many good solutions to previous pain points, such a delightful experience when it comes to user experience. Attention to details and just pure Internet loveliness. The ability to now create multiple countries as a playlist is just 🀯 as well as the quick hide of video using "H" on the keyboard. Guys honestly this is really good, keep up the awesome work. PS can't wait to get some merch from the store. https://everpress.com/foreignrap

@linusekenstam appreciate this! Thanks Linus πŸ₯°

just exactly what I needed. I wish I could easily save the music into a playlist/favorite, and/or be able to get them on Spotify later on. great job! When do you open TestFlight beta :D ?
Aziz Firat
@xgopox soon! follow one of the makers or our official twitter account to stay updated.

Awesome product design and experience. I am always in awe of people who work on something like this for so long - but perhaps I fail to see the real endgame (in $ terms) for such projects. I really enjoyed the mixtapes area as well. Great product, thank you.

I wasn’t into rap so much before but I am now, looks superb cool. Thanks to Foreignrap, I’ve just listened Japanese rap for the time and loved it. Thank you for making this πŸ”₯
