I though it would be interesting to analyse the accents on this song. (I hope a SWAT team isn't descending on my house now because of Internet piracy). These are some preliminary notes; I'll do a little more detail later:
First Artist: Quest
From Chicago, AAVE-speaker, possibly NCVS-influenced
Second Artist: Big E
From London I think, but imitating AAVE, not very successfully
Third Artist: Nikolow
London Multicultural English ("Jafaican"), possibly born in Carribean
Fourth Artist: Akala
LME
I'm especially interested in the third one; I can't really place his accent, though I'm pretty sure it's London.
