I'm terrible at choosing names for my beats, so I made a little generator to help with that, and mostly just for fun.

I dug through Dilla, Madlib, Nujabes and Pete Rock tracklists, and built the generator around the patterns each of them uses, not the actual titles. You can pick one beatmaker or combine a couple for something that leans on both.

Never owned an SP1200 in my life but I built the whole interface around one anyway, it's just the machine that pops in my head first whenever I think about beatmaking, so it felt right.

Also hid a little secret in there if you poke around enough.

I have the text and the beat, but I can’t sing and I don’t have equipment. Is it possible for me to record my vocals and get an AI to change my voice to s better one, enhance the recording, put on autotune and make it sound professional?

I don’t have any money…

I'm a Korean rapper working on a song with entirely English lyrics, and I'm looking for honest feedback on my English pronunciation.

My main question is whether my accent is distracting or unpleasant to listen to, or if it simply sounds like a non-native accent that still works well in music.

If anyone is willing to help, send me a DM and I'll send you the demo along with the lyrics.

I'd really appreciate honest feedback, whether it's positive or negative. Thanks!

As the title says (or asks rather).

Let's see where we can all help one another out.

DM To Get the reference track

July 22nd

So I made my master and sticked loudness meter on it and set it so it stays at -14 lufs, but after the song was uploaded it sounded a lot different and was very tinny/lots of high end frequencies, when it was perfectly balanced in it's .wav form. Is the setting to -14 a lie?

wreck with self

Got this heart so it's gone be me to break itself

Seekin rest interested in getting dressed distressed can do me some deep rest but depressed

Panic manically stated d-dated to write my own fate with all this hate

Ain't reppin for no fame and no tits

school her into molecular bits

Eyes weary like resented

experimented on drugs to vent

I went from some

Sense to cents

Henceforth is the price worth

Baskin on maskin

a lyrical cut on my wounds nursed,

And I flow this blow burst my verse

Cursed I think second thoughts first

Thinkin deeper the reaper's weepin

keepin me from leapin

Deep in the strangest relative exchanges

Eerie cuz I can be mysterious

Serious stayin insidious

hideous when I pimp

These words so simple

Broken inside but feelin the healin

Nah man ian snakin fakin the aching

Just slittin a neck in from breakin

Making a killin, stealin a feel,

Mentally ill in this skill

I pop hip hop like a pill

So it's gone blow when I flow

Like illest to illicit, realistically

Syllabilistically slit a split to a spit

Hocus pocus to focus,

My thots flow set itself to blow cuz

Ian gotta be a virgin just to sound the tightest and between me and y'all

This is the slightest difference

You can't even be friends with the demon in me that butcher verses like a hell bound right

Every time I rap why do I sound tight

Cuz I'm just too early obsessed thinkin words that sounds similarly curved curly to make em think even your intentions to slaughter sound girly

On shiftin perspectives like shop liftin

Pathologically truth spillin the pills in for you rumpelstilskins

food to lactate

Talk bout some dope in you like you lacked it

You was so brown but I blacked it

Manipulates so many bullets and pull it like I clacked it

Is like my conscience like a person at the junction watch the body malfunction

Cuz I'm impaired like ian cared

Double dared bare and scared

Distressed with no rest

puppet under the control of the disease here

So I foam words and it turns out to be sickest in a steer

Neurologically driven mad to tears

Ian never grown up in years is in

I listen only to see who's dissin

Invincible in this old school new school shit I'm the principal

Failure comes in with a price tag but I cant afford it

my jam wasn't recorded although my brain was distorted so I tried to word it

This dream was all that I had like a weapon cuz of if I got a weapon,

Words can happen.

I can't come up with a topic, cant come up with any bars or verses or anything, i cant freestyle either, and i cant punch in, i genuinely cant come up with any lyrics at all and im going to give up trying to make music because I can't come up with a single song.

Also the type of music i want to make is like lil peep's more traditional rap songs, whatever that genre is called. examples of songs like that is white tee by lil peep.

DistroKid is saying that one of the songs I’m uploading to streaming services, needs to clear sampling and it’s referencing a song on Spotify that has little play and was uploaded 2 years ago. This artist that published the song looks to have bought the beat from the same distributor as I did from BeatStars but published the song not crediting the producer or something because why would DistroKid be alarmed that I’m stealing someone’s else’s work if I have credited the beat maker in my song?

Do I have to credit the person who uploaded their song using the same beat?

I’m very confused, any feedback would be greatly appreciated 🫡

I'm a Korean rapper, and I have a demo song in English that I'd like to get some feedback on.

I'm not trying to sound like a native speaker, but I'm curious how my pronunciation comes across to native English speakers. Does it sound unnatural or distracting? Or does it sound fairly normal, just with a foreign accent?

I don't really want to post the demo publicly, so if you're willing to help, please send me a DM, and I'll send it over.

I'd really appreciate any honest feedback. Thanks!

こんにちは！ラップ初めて一日目のNo capです。名前ダサいのは知ってます。誰か無料でビートくださいとりあえずラップがしたいです。機材は何もそろってないです。いい名前があったらだれかつけてくださいよかったらつけます。ドリルとか挑戦してみたいですね。

Looking for vocalists (of any language) to feature in an album I’m working on and also the chance to feature in any upcoming projects.
I’m a new independent artist working with a few others already to help them release their first projects.
Just trying to spread the good vibes and make some good music with people!
I can’t offer any upfront pay but royalties will be split evenly with everyone who works on the track.
Dm me if interested :)

As an artist currently finalizing a project that's being mixed entirely using 2 track instrumentals, I'm curious to hear what u all think on this.

I understand that mixing with trackouts is ideal and that mixing with 2-tracks results in overall quality being sacraficed a bit but i'm also of the belief that most fans(especially hip-hop fans in this day and age) don't really care for the most part as long as the music is at least listenable. Trackouts can be quite expensive and even sometimes not always available.

How much modern hip hop do u all think is being mixed with just the 2-track file instead of trackouts? And overall do you think music being mixed with trackouts makes that huge of a difference to the average listener?

Hey, I'm "No Cap," and today is Day 1 of my rapping journey. I just really want to rap. Please let me know if you have any tips—things like pronunciation, how to catch the groove, and so on. I’m definitely going to make it big! My starting point for that is winning *Rap Star*; I’ll be entering the competition as a first-year high school student in 2027. I’d really appreciate your support. Please share any advice or pointers—even just recommendations on which rappers I should listen to.

Hello everyone, my name is Veil. I’m a rapper. I have a couple years of experience with recording, rapping, mixing, and engineering under a different artist name, but have since decided after hiatus to launch a new project. I’m looking for other rappers/producers who are down to work and make some music together. I’d like to take this project very seriously. If you’d like to hear what my old catalog sounds like and some of the stuff I’m working on now with my new project leave a comment or shoot me a DM!
