Greetings everyone! I hope you're all doing well. Since this is my first time in this kind of discussion, I'm not entirely sure where the appropriate place to post this is. If my message is in the wrong section, please feel free to move it to the suitable one.

I've made updates to the articles by adding various sources. There are 16 local sources, including Ennahar and others, as well as international press like "Radio France" and "Egypt Today." The content mainly revolves around a rapper, who has achieved significant success. His YouTube channel has garnered over a billion views, and he's also dominating the top charts on platforms like Spotify and Deezer in the North African region. Additionally, he has acted in a successful series, and he is working with Netflix to produce a new series around his story.

When discussing awards, it's essential to consider the context of the African continent. Unlike the United States, where rap is a major industry with numerous awards and festivals, Africa doesn't have such events until now. Algeria, in particular, is predominantly known for its music style, RAI music, which receives most of the recognition and awards. However, rap is a new and emerging genre in the region, and Didine Canon 16, is leading the way as the number one rapper in North Africa, supported by the numbers and the sources.
