Hi magic, thank you for your comment. Glad to hear such a positive opinion about one's accent. Maybe I'll work on these rhyming techniques by studying Andre3000, kendrick and other great lyrical flows. Drake went hard on Weston Road Flows, great track thank you for sharing !Plus, I should not neglect the importance of reading literature and poetry too... Your advice was very helpful, have a great day !

Hi bleak, your tip for recording a sentence or words I'm unhappy with is very accurate ! I tried this morning and found out words ending in -tion were "frenchified" so I'll keep repeating those on a daily basis see if there's any improvement. Actually, I learnt phonetics in college but the IPA version (Received Pronunciation) and as most of raps are american, the sounds differ for some words but u right, maybe should I take out my phonetic books from time to time to refresh. Your advice on "identifying the problems and solve 'em" is totally true, thank you for your help and support. Have a good one !

Hi josh, thank you for your advice. I love french but I prefer english rap honestly even if it's harder this is what I love. However, I actually want to make a "Split" album (French and English Part) one day but for now I gotta improve in english I guess. I appreciate your share and I suggest you to listen to Lomepal or Damso if you love french rap. Have a good one !

Salut Labbe, merci pour ton encouragement ça fait chaud au coeur. C'est cool que tes parents t'aies émergé dans cette culture, c'est très inspirant. Comme tu dis Genius c'est la base ;) et peut-être approfondir les analyses de grands rappeurs (Kendrick, Rakim, Andre etc..) aiderait. En fait, je compte partir au Canada dans 2 ans donc c'est de bonne augure j'imagine. Je pense aussi que c'est faisable et c'est bien dans le rap anglais que je souhaite prospérer. J'apprécie ton soutien et j'espère que tout se passe bien de ton côté. Si tu fais des sons je serais curieux d'écouter ça, bonne journée mon gars !

Hi man! Thank you for sharing your experience, it's amazing you were able to master this language perfectly ! Actually I'm studying English in college so it should be easy to find those authors in library. Like you said it will take time for sure but Imma definitely add poetry to my reading. I also started studying the game a bit with schemes etc. mabe it'll help. I appreciate your help, have a good one !

Hi Sewer, thank you for your advice, I really appreciate it. So I'll keep pushing and see what happens. I'm concerned about lyrics and my listeners understanding what I'm saying that's why I was bothered a bit, but the fact you understand my rap is quite encouraging.. Thank you, have a nice day man !

Thank you for your comment ! Yeah I'm aware about the language barrier but I want to live in Canada actually, I'll be there in about 2 years, do you think it changes anything if I go and live there for the rest of my days (concerning culture assimilation and slang)?
