Few rap scenes are as diverse and distinct as Switzerland's, a direct result of the country's many cultures and official languages coexisting in such close quarters. From French to English to Italian to German dialect, or mundart, rap, you can hear a Swiss MCs' origins not just in their storytelling, but also by the language they claim. The result has long made for a thrilling representation of place and politics, with a new generation eager to explore questions of Swiss identity through rap.
