Focusing on a YouTube performance by an emergent Finnish Somali rapper
and the audience responses it has generated, this paper looks at ways in which
rap music engages with the issue of belonging. Drawing on recent theorizations
of belonging as a multi-dimensional, contingent and fluid process, along with
sociolinguistic work on globalization and superdiversity, Finnish hip hop
culture and popular cultural practices in social media, the paper investigates
how belonging is performatively and multi-semiotically interrogated in its
online context. It shows how rap can serve as a significant site and channel for
new voices in turbulent social settings characterized by rapid social change
and complex diversity, as well as provide affordances for critical responses to
and interventions into xenophobic and nationalist debates and discourses of
belonging.
