I think it does. I'm not saying it isn't hard for a non-American hip-hop artist to achieve the same level of success that an English emcee from the US can, but that doesn't mean you can't break into the market (yes J.Cole's situation is different than this, I know.) Jansz and Grindy are quite frequently sharing hip-hop from non-english artists here on MB, so I think there is a market for it, and while it may not be the same as what a mainstream rap artist would find, it still exists.
