“As much as I would love to break America, I don’t want to have to feel like I’m compromising anything to break a new market,” Songer says. “If that happens, it happens. If not, I’m not gonna die swimming against the tide.” As he says this, the rapper sits at a table on the banks of the Grand Union canal, outside Paddington Station in north central London.
