In our questionnaire we asked if any of these artists were recognised at all, and to tick the ones that were recognised. We asked this so we can
gauge an understanding on who listens to rap music and what/who they listen to, we included popular artists such as Eminem & Skepta (UK Based)
with more obscure artists such as Danny Brown and Scruffizer (also UK based). Almost everyone we asked had heard of Eminem and The Notorious
B.I.G (as expected) fewer people recognised the more obscure artists which was also expected.
