Since i do appreciate (rap) songs even if i don’t understand them, I need some recommendations from YOU for non-english rap songs or artists.
(I can’t really distinguish genres, so I’m trusting your judgment whether your recommendation fits)
(I’m also not a fan of german rap but you can recommended that regardless)
Creepy Nuts’ album LEGION from last year is quite good if you want some Japanese rap. They’ve gotten pretty big over the last few years due to being featured on Anime intros for shows like DanDaDan and Mashle.
French (not mainstream at all cuz I don’t really follow French music): Zaho and Tunisiano
If you want something a little weird go for GEZAN and the million wish collective. My fav is death penalty dog.

Egypt: CairoKee
Though they don’t classify exactly as rap, a bunch of their songs have strong rap elements. This one is with a sample of the legendary Umm Kulthum :)2H Company (in russian)
My favorite Austrian rapper (You already know who it is!!!)

Lithuania has pretty active rap scene. Trap didn’t pick up much here. Here are my picks:
Kneecap when they sing in Gaelic
IAM - L’École du Micro d’Argent
A fantastic French Rap album, including a feature from Wu Tang
CEZA - Neyim Var ki feat. Sagopa K
Has an English intro, but then it’s Turkish.
manu chao’s mi gustas tu and his classic album Clandestino in entirety.
edit: i changed choice of manu chao songs because i’m fickle; but Welcome to Tijuana and el disapericdo are more greatness from them.
I love Many Chao, but I would have never interpreted it as rap? Anyway, OP said they cannot distinguish genres so it does not matter.

I had a German roommate once. Great guy. Loved his German rap. It was utterly hellish.
