I don’t really know what to say besides I’m a rapper and I’m trying to get to it! I’d say I’m more of a combination of shock rap and clever bars. I make jokes but in a clever way. I’m pretty versatile when it comes to beats. Depending on the length of the beat is how I’ll approach writing the song. I live in the states MN to be exact and I know of a few really good studios in my area.

My social media presence is non existent besides this account ( I know 😂) But once I get the right songs together that’ll change. I have all of the motivation in the world to write and record. I just don’t know what to do after that. I’d obviously like to promote my music but I’m more of a creative not a savvy promoter or manager. Well hit me up if you’re a producer who’s interested in working with a rapper like me. Hit me up of your a promoter or a manager who can offer guidance. I’m hungry and I’m ready to work!

Might be a bad title sorry. I suppose I'm wondering like when I have two vocals together and I want both of them to be heard they often sound like a doubled chorus and it's not a pleasant sound. Eqing and panning the tracks help sometimes but not always and less and less often lately. How can I make vocals play across each other rather than into each other?

So I've been making music for a while now, and I tend to go experimental in nature with my beats. I just released an album containing various sub-genres of hip-hop, but I would love a label on which one I best represent or show up as... Been curious and I'm not getting the traction I want...

I'm "Postmodern Picard" on all streaming services. I would attach a link but I think that's against the rules of this subreddit.

I appreciate working with a producer and just being able to focus on the rhymes.

I appreciate buying beats (although I don't love leasing beats).

But getting back to producing my own records is an amazing feeling. I can work out my own ideas. Plus when I share, I don't have to share the credit.

I had a good ass idea yesterday. Today I already got the song ready.

I had another song I wrote that was important to me. I made a beat just cause and ended up using it for that song.

This is how I felt making music in my 20s.

Thanks to everyone that submitted. We had lots of great entries.

Has the Boom Bam style officially died, or does it still have some fans?

Hi everyone, I go by the name of Victor Zee. and I'm a hip hop producer. I inspire mostly from Dilla and early boombap sample based and I been thinking about a mixtape in which collaborations will be done, I am providing the beats as well as the mix/mastering and I would think this is a great chance for me to expand my network and meet with artists on the same vision.
If you're interested please DM with a link to your works and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you!

I've been taking producing more seriously lately and I'm trying to get everything looking a little more professional instead of having my beats, credits, contact info and socials scattered across five different places. Started putting together a simple site with Durable basically just to have one link I can send people but I'm wondering if artists/A&Rs actually care about that anymore. Do you guys have your own site or do you just use BeatStars/SoundCloud/IG and call it a day? Has having your own site ever actually helped you get work?

If anything, it's more original. At least I'm taking something that exists and synthesizing something new. Rather than just straight up taking something that exists

how can you record vocals properly or make it sound good. I've been struggling alot with how to record i only have a wired earphones w mic and a mobile phone, i use fl studio and i cant figure out what to do to make my vocals sound like its into the song ifykwim

Who wants some Pure SUB? 

Since 18 I’ve been writing lyrics, I’ve been trying to be a producer but I find I have way more resistance with it than writing lyrics. I’m nearly 24 now and I have about 100-150k words on my notes apps (last time I checked was 2 years ago at 100k) it comes very naturally to me and it’s the main thing in my life that I enter flowstate with.

I can say them in my head but I noticed that I don’t have much melody to it and the flows I use are fairly consistent and not creative. So basically I run up a track on my headphones and freestyle over it in my head and it’s like I’ve been using the same 5 flows and same basic Melodys.

I have the voice I want to say them in in my head and I can say a few of my songs how I like them… other ones not so much.

So I have an ability to spit out 1-2 full fledged song ideas daily without much effort but I don’t have the ability to create interesting Melodie’s for my words or unique flows.

Also my voice needs work too.

I’m very serious about this as I think I have genuine good lyrical ideas that I think deserve to be shared but I don’t want my other skills to take away from them.

If you’ve been in a similar position and navigated mastering these skills I’d really appreciate some guidance from the vets.

I am a deaf aspiring rapper. I know I can feel bass vibrations, but I’m struggling to sync my lyrical flow with complex beats. What tools or methods do other deaf or hard-of-hearing artists use to master timing? Are there specific producers or tracks with heavy tactile bass that are good for practice? I’m studying artists like Sean Forbes and Wawa Snipe. Any technical tips appreciated.

Where can I find the proper way to credit artists on a mixtape?

I don't know why, but Wu-Tang's hooks hit harder than any other hooks. How can I write the same way?

What ever happened to the remix culture in the 2000s and do you think it will come back?

I remember DJs or remixers used to mash up different acapella verses from songs and remix it with an instrumental. Some remixed biggie and 2pac verses on a beat together. I expected with stem separation we would see it back. You don’t have to buy acapellas on LP or DJ websites giving you acapella and instrumentals.

I also miss the days of producer remixes like so so remix, Timbaland remix or neptunes remix.

Hi I am a rapper and producer who just dropped my new tape on Spotify and Apple Music recently. Ive been trying to experiment with some different drum patterns and Ive been inspired by plugg and sstepteam shit recently. If you’re into those genres please consider checking it out and any feedback is greatly appreciated

I’m from India, and I’ve always wanted to do something in music. At first, I just wanted to become a music producer, but I’ve recently gotten into rap.
I’ve tried writing several times. After listening to rappers like Eminem, Jay-Z, 2Pac, Big Pun, Rakim, and others, I got really inspired. I listened to their music a lot back in my college days. I wrote a lot of ideas in my notes—just random thoughts, ideas, and lines that sounded good—but I never ended up writing a whole verse.
Last time I checked my notes, I realized it had been three years since I wrote some of those ideas, and I still hadn’t worked on them. I always thought I would eventually write some lyrics around those ideas or thoughts, but it never happened. I’ve never even managed to write a full 16 bars.
Can anyone tell me how I can become more consistent and write better rap lyrics? Every time I try to write, nothing comes to my head, and I just end up getting demotivated.
I’ve even tried freestyling over beats. I’m pretty good at flowing over them, but it’s not even some badass shit—it’s mostly just gibberish that I do over and over, hoping I might come up with some ideas that I can actually write down.
I really love doing this, by the way. I just don’t enjoy the writing part. 😅
Well i want to write in hindi i do listen to other indian rappers obviously i kinda stuck and confused with the writing part please help me with it guys .
