the thing with rap is that unless you're a fan or well-versed in it; it all sounds ridiculously similar and low-brow. Just like classical music still has this air of being complex and worldly simply by being "classical" rap is the exact opposite.

Unless your samples show huge, objective, creativity and variety I don't see it as doing much for you- the adcoms won't be experienced in this sort of music I garantee it. Sure you may gain some ''diversity'' points but other than that....Eh.

An alternative would be that you simply write about your passion and put a resume listing all the uses your music has had and the artists that have used it- maybe even a standard rec letter from one of them.

Sell them the skill, not the genre. My $0.02
