How to compose the text of a song? Practical advice from a songwriter to beginners in creativity. How to write a rap song

The main basis of rap is original, precise rhymes. A person who thinks about how to compose a rap should feel like an artist who paints the world around him with rhymes. Maybe the advice will sound trite, but there is only one answer to the question: “how to learn to compose rap”: success can be achieved by diligently choosing rhyming words as best as possible.

Learn to rap

Of course, every fan of rap music wants to learn how to read and compose texts that will be no worse than those of world stars. In rap, rhymes are quite complex, so the reading must take place in a certain rhythm and, most importantly, carry a meaning. When thinking about how to compose a rap, the text of which will not only have a perfect rhyme, but also a deep meaning, it is important to simply immerse yourself in your thoughts and then transfer them to paper. At first you will end up with something like:

Music should bring good, Remember, my friend! Do not spoil the blood, If you took the micro!

Then, we assure you, the texts will become much more complex and original.

How to learn to compose rap

Do not stop there. Choose words and tame them with rhymes.

It is the rhymes that make it possible to force the crowd to admire the reciter-rapper. It is rhymes that are the basis of the whole performance. Rhymes can be exact and inexact. In rap, inexact rhymes are mainly used:

We are all born into this world, Years are stretched for a whole century. Every person will be important for life, People, let's shout together: "No to war!"

It is not necessary to place each rhyme at the end of the line, they can be either of a certain length or placed in a certain order. Some of the most common types of rhymes adopted in hip hop do not rhyme completely.

Hip-hop innovators find exact rhymes too restrictive, so in rap the type of rhyme where all the sounds after the final stress are the same is not often seen. When thinking about how to compose a rap, know that direct rhymes are not necessary.

Rappers use imprecise rhymes, which gives more freedom for creative expression. Examples of inaccurate rhymes: plantain - on purpose, good - powder, booth - a boy.

How to write a rap - the text matters

In this way of composing the text, the exact rhyme is replaced by an "almost" rhyme, using it to complete the line.

First, try to put into rhymes any words that come to mind. You can turn on the metronome or any beat, the main thing is not to rush. It is not easy to read quickly, but it also comes with experience. In the beginning, the meaning doesn't really matter, just rhyme. When you can compose texts almost without thinking, complicate the task.

When you have already figured out how to learn how to rap correctly, try to rap with meaning. And do not forget, of course, about the beat.

How to compose a rap - text + bar

Gradually, writing lyrics will become an easier task for you. The next stage is the combination of tact, meaning, rhyme into one, unified whole. It is better to start with simple rhymes, when there is only one rhyming word located at the end of the line in a line. Such rhymes are often used by freestylers, because, thanks to the simplicity of the rhyme, there is always time to think and find the right word.

The more practice you have, the more complex the rhymes and the more varied the texts will become. The most successful texts of famous rappers are distinguished by figurativeness and unsurpassed energy.

As you improve, all this will come to you. When you start experimenting with more complex rhymes, you will notice that more than one syllable rhymes in them and it is much more difficult to compose texts because of this. However, the result is worth it: such rhymes bring originality and diversity to the text, improve the overall quality of the text. If you got something like:

The main thing is not to be late, the main thing is to know in time

The main thing is not to slow down on the move - get it,

The main thing is to say a few words that weigh,

The main thing is that over the years it comes in this cramped world,

You understand I hope what this song is about...

So, you can definitely be called a promising rap writer.

The basis of rap are rhymes, and MC is an artist who paints with rhymes, a poet who creates texts. It may seem too obvious to some, but one of the best ways to succeed as an MC is to be better at picking words that rhyme. As Rakim says in "I Know You Got Soul"

I start to think and then I sink
into the paper like I was ink ,
when I'm writing I'm trapped in between the line,
I escape when I finish the rhyme

Reread this rap text . This is the real and best definition of what it means to be a rapper. . The rapper plunges into his thoughts, transfers them to paper, picks up words, but they hold him like a lattice in a cage until he tames them with rhymes. Precisely rhymes give the MC freedom and control over rap. It's the rhymes that give MCs the power to shake the mic and get the crowd jumping up and down excitedly. It is rhymes that form the basis of the rapper's performance.

However, as Rakim demonstrated, we are not talking about "Hickory Dickory Dock. In rap, not every rhyme has to be at the end of a line. Rhymes do not have to be in any particular order or be of any particular length. In fact, some of the most common types of hip-hop rhymes don't rhyme at all. Such rhymes are called inexact rhymes (slant rhymes)

Inaccurate rhymes vs. exact rhymes

Here are some dictionary definitions (Short dictionary of literary terms)

Exact rhyme - type of rhyme, where all the sounds after the final stress coincide. Examples: guard - plantain, breeders - thugs.

This is what most people understand by rhymes. Examples of exact rhymes: cat, hat, bat; cake, bake, fake. Exactly rhyming words can have mismatched letters because it's all about the sounds. For example: great, late; height, fight; bought, knot. These are all exact rhymes. The words do not have to be the same length. For example: rider, beside her; dutiful, unbeautiful. These are all examples of exact rhymes.

Exact rhymes work great in many situations. But hip hop innovators (ah poets before them) consider them too restrictive. Rappers began to use imprecise rhymes, giving them more freedom to express themselves. Here is the definition of inexact rhyme from the dictionary.

Inaccurate rhyme - a rhyme with a mismatch of one or more consonants at the end of the verse. Examples: good - powder, plantain - on purpose, booth - a boy.

In general, one can consider an inaccurate rhyme "almost » rhyme. Examples are: heat , heart ; cow , no ; dry , died ; love , fluff . Inexact rhymes are words that sound roughly the same but don't rhyme perfectly. In Rakim's line above, he rhymes "rhyme » with the word «line ." These words don't really rhyme with each other. "Rhyme "rhymes well with" time , dime, mime, I'm, and crime." "Line rhymes with mine , pine, whine, and tine." But these two words sound about the same. So Rakim uses an inaccurate rhyme to end the line.

When an inexact rhyme must be used in rap lyrics

Where should I use imprecise rhymes? Everywhere. But, in some cases, inexact rhyme must be used.

1. The word has no exact rhyme

There are many words in the English language that do not have exact rhymes. Here are some of them: silver, purple, month, angst, sixth, breadth, ninth, pint, wolf, opus, monster, dangerous, marathon, napkin, hostage, discombobulate And many, many other words. When writing poetry, sometimes you need to rhyme one of these words, but it doesn’t work. As long as the imprecise rhyme is not applied. That's what Nas does in NY State of Mind." He uses the word "dangerous" ," which doesn't have an exact rhyme but finds a way to fit it into the verse:

I got so many rhymes I don't think I'm too sane,
Life is parallel to Hell but I must maintain,
And be prosperous though we live dangerous,
Cops could just arrest me blaming us ,
we're held like hostages

He approximately rhymes "prosperous , dangerous, blaming us," hostages , to express your thoughts. The verse didn't get worse.

2. Avoid hackneyed rhymes in rap

Another case where you need to use imprecise rhymes is when you are dealing with a frequently repeated, hackneyed rhyme. For example, how many times have you heard the rhyme of the word "knowledge » with the word «college . " Crap! People abuse this rhyme in the same way that a slovenly businessman pours too much cologne on himself. To avoid this, one has to resort to imprecise rhyme.

Knowledge - mall kids, honest, ballas, taller, Paul Wall did, on it, admonish, cabbage.

The great thing about inaccurate rhymes is that they help MCs avoid the most dangerous newbie trap: too obvious rhymes. If the listener can easily guess the words before the MC says them, that's almost always a bad thing. In general, this means that the MC is not inventive enough, but simply repeats old boring rhymes. In order not to fall into this trap, it is worth using inaccurate rhymes. For example, instead of rhyming "money » with «funny » you can try the inaccurate rhyme gin rummy, Sunday,
dummy, crumbly, Tony, blunt be, hunt me, some tea, plenty.

Example. From Tupac Amaru's text "Changes »

I see no changes
wake up in the morning and I ask myself,
is life worth living should I blast myself?
I'm tired of being poor and even worse I'm black ,
my stomach hurts so I'm
lookin' for a purse to snatch ,
cops give a damn about a negro,
pull the trigger kill a ni**a he's a hero

Tupac Changes »

I don't see any change, waking up in the morning I ask myself: Is life worth living, or is it better to lay hands on yourself? I'm tired of being poor, and worst of all, I'm black, My stomach is empty and I have to steal spades. Cops curse blacks: Pull the trigger, kill the black, and you are a hero!

Some performers use inexact rhymes in every line, but they have such a manner of reading and they pronounce the words in such a way that the listeners do not notice the awkwardness. Look at Tupac Amaru's verses "Changes ." It rhymes "ask » with «blast ,""black »snatch ," and "negro » with «hero ." Such a rhyme gives him more freedom to express his thoughts (at more words to choose from) which makes his lines fresh and creative.

Rap as a genre does not imply "white verse" in its text, the lines must obey a certain internal structure and a certain rhyme. If you approach from the “literary” side of the issue, then rap, according to its scheme of adding rhyming lines, is considered an accent verse. It is worth looking into literary theory - what is it, especially if you are an aspiring rapper. Among other things, you need to be able to compose such texts so that they fit a given musical style. The content of the tracks must be complete and appropriate to the style of the genre. This is the minimum for how to learn to write rap. Of course, you still need some inspiration.

In order for inspiration to still visit you, you need to tune in to a suitable "wave" - lyrical or harder. You also need to make sure that no one will distract you, and no one will interfere. Of course, before you start writing rap, you need to decide what the topic of your text will be about. Your idea should be filled with meaning, which should be traced in all lines of text. The semantic load of the future song should be decorated with rhymes. First, you can make a series of sketches of non-rhyming lines, and then change them to a poetic version.

Creation of rap - rhymes

In how to write rap correctly, the main role is given, nevertheless, to rhymes. It is desirable to create text with an equal number of syllables in each of the lines. You also need to follow the rules:

If there are 8 syllables in the first line, then the following lines should also have the same number of lines. It is worth remembering that the number of vowels is equal to the number of syllables.
After that, you need to proceed directly to rhyming. To do this, you need to know the main types and rhyme schemes, and use the ones that you like the most. And the best thing is to practice and create texts with different rhymes. To do this, of course, it is worth knowing how. Write rap - the text is best using one rhyme.
The most popular rhyming scheme is adjoining. In this case, the first line will rhyme with the second line, the second line with the third, and so on. Graphically, the circuit is depicted as "AABB".
The second type of rhyme is cross. In this case, the first line rhymes with the third, and the second with the fourth. Schematically, this is "ABAB", i.e. lines that rhyme with each other intersect.
Another type of rhyming is circular. In this case, the first line will rhyme with the fourth line, and the second line with the third. Those. rhyming lines seem to form a kind of ring. Schematically, this is "ABBA".
The last type of rhyme is woven. It is considered the most complex, and therefore very diverse. Many rhyming options can be allowed here, for example, the first line can rhyme with the fourth, the second line with the sixth, the third line with the fifth, etc.
You also need to know the existing types of rhymes. They are accurate - then all the sounds that stand after the stress coincide. And also they are inaccurate - then such a coincidence does not occur.

Building a rap text

You also need to know how to write rap lyrics, namely to keep the theme. You need to follow the content, because. the meaning of the lyrics of the song should be clear to the listeners in the first place. It is also worth following a number of tips:

In order to get an interesting text, you should avoid obvious rhymes. It is advisable to select complex and unusual rhymes, although you will spend a lot of effort on this. But the end result will reward you in full.

Also, do not forget about additional expressive means. Use comparisons, metaphors - this will only make your text better and brighter. The text, in which there will be comparisons and figurative meaning, will be interesting to listen to. You can also use comparisons without fear. This will especially help in how to write touching rap, lyrics.
But at the same time, you need to include specifics in your text. If a certain event or person is mentioned, then it is better to name them specifically. Such inserts will only bring your text closer to reality, and it will become closer to the listeners.
Be sure to follow the rhythm. It should be tapped in parallel with your hand, like a tap dance. It must be remembered that between the stressed syllables of each line, a similar number of unstressed syllables must be made. In this case, the text will sound rhythmically and evenly.
There are no hard and fast rules regarding the chorus, as it depends more on the music. It may even be one word, or there may not be a chorus at all. But in many cases, the chorus consists of four or eight lines.

Now you know everything about how to write rap lyrics correctly. This will allow you to delve into this art and, perhaps, become famous one day. Everything depends not only on talent, but also on desire, so you should strive for heights. We wish you good luck and creative success!

How to write a rap lyrics, you can scribble a whole job! In principle, it is roughly possible to divide the text into 2 components: rhyme and meaning, i.e. what the text is about. Both that, and another, are important approximately equally, it is impossible to neglect a rhyme in the name of sense and vice versa. But in principle, if you go to extremes, you can make really strong texts, but weakly (from the point of view of the method described by me below) rhymed. An example of this is Pencil. Weak in rhyme of the text, but great plots, good presentation - it listens excellently! But still, a text for 10 points without a 10-point rhyme will not work. If we take the minimum (and this is the most basic), then the rhymes themselves, rhymed words, must meet some requirements. Still, the rap text is a kind of verse, and the center of the verse is a rhyme. Those. it is on her that the emphasis is, as a rule, the author rhymes exactly the most important word in the line ... I am not a journalist, so I can’t explain it on my fingers, I can only give a link to V.V. Mayakovsky - read his article "How to make poetry" - I have not yet read something that more accurately describes this moment. In the same article, I will try to briefly retell Mayakovsky, supplementing it with some illustrative examples.

So let's go! I'll start with how you can't rhyme. In one fell swoop, we remove all the "same" words: single-rooted (thoughts - meaning, briefly - in a timely manner, went - found, etc.), verbs (take - give, was - bought, said - showed), nouns of the same form (idiot - garden - whirlpool, attitude - opinion, couplets - newspapers - toilets, answer - nonsense, etc. I think the idea is clear), the same adjectives (original - vaginal - regional, golden - mine - blue) - in short, all the words that rhyme too obviously + a huge list of zadrochennyh rhymes that have been used more than once and everyone is already tired. There are a bunch of such rhymes, you can’t sort through all of them, only through the experience of reading other people’s texts can you outline this circle for yourself. I bring a couple of the most fucked up rows, these rhymes should never be used

message - flattery - climb - revenge - six - wool, etc.

blood - love - carrots - again, etc. (in principle, these words are the same feminine nouns, i.e. I already wrote about such words)

meeting - evening - nothing

prose - rose - rods - air

autumn - eight

legs - many - miserable - God - lair - anxiety

So, that means they cut it all off and now we rhyme "according to the rules" We take the word that must be rhymed. Let's say "lime". And we begin mentally (or aloud, as it is more convenient for anyone) to say this word "lime", to say words similar to it, there, for example, baseness, from the outside, a ghost, recognized, Lisa, etc. - i.e. immediately a series of words pops up. Choose what fits - and go! The main idea is to surprise the listener with a rhyme; for example, at the end of the line is the word "dummy" and the listener expects to hear something like "cormorant", "glass", "trap", etc. at the end of the second line, and you put the word "rumor". Or the word "dimensions". We find the stressed syllable - "-rits" - and let's go, we rhyme it: sugary, soaked. In short, I explained as best I could, but it's better to find Mayakovsky's article - the same thing is painted there, but better

Everyone figured out exactly what to rhyme with. Let's move on to the structure of the text, how these rhymes should be arranged. Of course, you can rhyme 2 adjacent lines to yourself with the last word and not worry (the so-called "square" construction of the text. BUT for this you need to read like Kool G Rap or Big Daddy Kane so that this drawback is not evident. Therefore, it is necessary that the text sounded varied: from a simple rhyming of 2 lines to the last word

a serious type, because he himself earned money for sneakers,
though no, rather stole it somewhere in the supermarket...
what I list is just a miserable minimum,
in the repertoire of the city of my native hymn golem

put a rhyme through the word

like a chef put a bay leaf over a bit in soup talking,
and while you’ve concocted a decent text with blood in a day.....

rhyme several words in a row

middle of Little Italy little did we know
that we riddled some middleman who didn't do diddily (Big Pun "Twins")

double rhyme from the pressure of the door to bend ...

at the same time twice in a row juicy ditch
opponents in battles rapartage dot, people dot ru

And every year I gain clout and my name sprouts
Some brothers "d still be large if the crack never came out (Big L "Put It On")

In general, I must say that US rappers have a double rhyme - generally the most common: it is quite simple to make it, but it sounds beautiful.
I "m urgin to put the glock up and clap rounds
It" s curtains like Jimmy Hoffa, he not found (Redman "Soopaman Luva 5 (Part I)")

My sound wave liftin" your chin up like uppercuts
New found ways of rippin "shit up, I de-ve-lop (Black Thought, Big Pun album "Capital Punishment", track "Super Lyrycal")

, but with two or even several:

Goustrida quick-shooter,
Arrows at the ready soon... (Ghostrida, Moscow)

This contract is unique, no matter how many verses you forge at night, my rhymes act like Kadochnikov's tricks. This is not a rhyme, these are just consonant words, usually with many of the same consonants, but with different stressed vowels.

For example, "strong fighting squads" with a guy "mi ala barbie, fana" tami a "renbi"
- as you can see, half of the words do not rhyme, they are simply consonant in the general flow of syllables. Sounds nice to me.
They also make tautological consonances, when, in addition to rhyming words, the same-root ones are obviously stuffed:

the whole world is filled with bass and beat,
I am saturated with rhythm and rhymes, every atom of mine is saturated with them

Such things are very often done by KRS-One, here for example, from the track "When The Moon":

Your lightweight, I devisate on the equal races
No I "m not a racist, but no race could really face this

That, in principle, is all. You can talk about this topic write forever, as I said, but it doesn’t make much sense - I showed the main points, the rest is learned in the process. Deck (Wu-Tang), Big-L (RIP), Big Pun (RIP) and many others From Russians - no doubt Vladi (and the whole Caste + Snake from the Faces), then Gee Wilks (Big Black Boots) , Drago, Steam, Sevzkvad, etc. The main thing is not to overdo it with rhyme for the sake of rhyme. e rhyme, the more difficult the text for perception, so you need to look for a middle ground, and not tear your ass in the selection of words for the sake of a full-line rhyme. When I listen to, for example, Sevzkvad, I don't like it - a bunch of identical words, generally a continuous rhyme, but the meaning is not clear. Some people like it, I don’t argue, but I don’t perceive it -.

Also, I would advise only in the most extreme cases to adjust the phrase "to rhyme", i.e. it is somehow unnatural to change the order of words, to force a sentence. Such techniques cut the ears very much, make it difficult to perceive the meaning and generally look unprofessional. Try to build a phrase as close as possible to colloquial speech (but not quite, don’t shove swear words and all sorts of household phrases all the time. Although storytelling in this style is just fat) - it looks simple, but brilliant

Another such moment - I would advise sacrifice rhyme for diction! Quite often it turns out to be beautifully twirled on paper, but then it’s incredible to play it out loud to the beat, here preference should not be given in favor of rhyme, because people hear the track, and do not read the text from the paper, so it’s better to simplify and say it clearly than just screw it up.

The word "rap" in English means "hit", "knock", as well as - "talk", "talk". It appeared in the early 80s and became very popular. It differs from others in its rhythm and music with a heavy beat. Back in the old days, the younger generation was worried about the question that everyone was trying to do something new, not like other works.

Today there are special lessons that will tell those who wish how to compose rap. To begin with, it is worth writing a decent text and studying the existing rhyme schemes (there are four in total). But in the modern world, only two are mainly used. One of them is quite simple - the first line of the quatrain should rhyme with the second, respectively, the third with the fourth, and so on. The second line is a little more complicated - the first line should rhyme with the third, and the second with the fourth. In most cases, the first scheme is used. The second, as a rule, is used in choruses. After the scheme is selected, you need to decide on the rhymes. But how to compose rap without knowing what it is and what it is of several types: exact, inaccurate, double, triple and complex. Under the exact understand the words that have the same endings (they are also called "squares" and are not in demand). Inaccurate words are words that have different endings but are similar in sound. This type of rhyme is quite common and easy, that is, you will not surprise anyone with this. As for the complex ones, one name says that it’s worth “sweating” over this. These include double, triple rhymes, and phrases that rhyme on more than one syllable. Don't worry if there are some inaccuracies in the rhyme. The main thing is that you understand the principle, and then the process will begin.

You can learn how to compose rap in special books and master classes, you can hire a tutor. Well, in general, the main thing is that for a start you have a good mood and inspiration. Grab a notepad, grab a tape recorder, and start sketching out your idea on paper. Find a quiet place where no one will distract you from creativity, recharge your batteries with your favorite music or a pleasant activity. It is recommended to start by creating your own minus, under which words and rhymes will go by themselves. After listening to your favorite performers, do not rewrite their creations in your own way, it will look like plagiarism. Get inspired and, listening to the minus, create your own rap.

Composing music is not easy, but borrowing it from friends or taking advantage of popular music is simply low. If you want to create your own "brainchild", try to make it yourself, without prompts and help from loved ones. You need to remember that when you write poetry, you create art, so it is impossible to read the article "how to compose a rap" and follow the instructions to create a masterpiece. Everything must come from within, be guided by feelings, emotions and do not forget about a good mood. In your poems, there should be a minus feature that is peculiar only to you - a zest that can conquer others. Listening to your composition, people will get to know you and appreciate such creativity.

How to write lyrics for a rap track

We'll talk about lyrics. In 2021, writing a melody is not difficult. It is enough to write a beat on a computer, even without mastering musical instruments and musical notation. But do not forget about good text, regardless of the genre.

Form, genre, idea

The first thing you should not miss is the choice of form. You must clearly articulate in your head what you want to end up with: rock, background music, or trite “songs like Pharaoh”, etc. You have a goal, which means you know where to go. No need to start with something experimental with the motto "as it goes, so it will be." This can lead to very strange results. Take a genre that you like and try to work in it. Learn to write lyrics and music in a certain style, then try to bring something of your own.

Before you start creating beats or lyrics for a track, decide on the theme and idea of your work; What mood should the song create in the listener? Listening to different beats, you can also catch yourself on a certain atmosphere of your future track.

A little reminder: rap lyrics are NOT just about money, show-offs, etc. Try to wrap all thoughts, metaphors, literary comparisons into one whole.

Text

You must remember that any text for rap works consists of 2 essential elements: meaning and rhyme. They work in conjunction, and the competent study of these two components will directly affect the final result and the feedback from the listeners. So, you yourself are unlikely to listen to a set of well-rhymed, but absolutely meaningless lines, and an interesting story (meaning), but without well-thought-out rhyming schemes, is unlikely to hook you.

Text structure: chorus and couplet. How much and what will be in your track depends only on you and on your creative idea. We recommend starting with a couplet. Write 2 verses and then tie them together with a chorus. The chorus should convey the whole idea of the song. It should catchy, be memorable and more driving (or vice versa: the verse is driving, and the verse is calmer).

You just need to sit down and start writing. It can be absolutely anything. Of course, the first line is unlikely to succeed on the fly. It is best to write not the classic 4 stanzas per verse (that's 16 lines), but more. To have something to remove. So, at least 2 verses.

Forget inspiration. It does not exist as such. There are moments when you are more inclined to compose and write something, when you are more inspired by something, some situation, an event. Or when you're not in the mood to write. It's not a matter of having or not having inspiration. This is the atmosphere. It can be easily created artificially, without problems. For example, setting comfortable lighting, a mug of freshly brewed coffee, etc., anything that contributes to your convenience will help create an atmosphere. You also need to be able to abstract from external factors so that it does not affect creativity. Or vice versa, pass it through yourself and let it go through creativity, creating an interesting product.

If you are wondering what is created first - bit or text? That is no correct answer. It will be as you want, as you decide to build your creative product. If you want to make or buy a beat and then write lyrics inspired by it, that's your right. If you want to first write down the text, the structure and then imagine in your head what beat you would read, then it will be easier for you to create the music itself.

Rhyme and rhyme

There are 5 rhyming schemes:

Adjacent: "AABB". In a stanza of four terms, the first two rhyme with each other and the second two.
Crossed: ABAB
Idle ABSB
Ring ABBA
Mixed.

We recommend to alternate these schemes, since the same rhyming is not cool now. Perhaps in a certain case, if it is justified by the subject of the text, then this is the case. But try to avoid it.

The rhymes themselves are:

square (coincidence of endings to rhyming words)
accented (consonant syllables ...)
internal (we rhyme several words in a line)
double and triple (rhyme 2/3 words in all lines)

forget about rhyming for endings, about square rhymes, and also about rhyming for verbs. The latter is permissible only if the verb rhymes with a noun. It cuts the ear less and sounds much better than a verb for a verb.

But still, the text is a completely creative product, you can write it the way you want. There are no rules. There is no right or wrong text. There is only what is in your head and in your heart. As you enter, so be it.

Tips for creating a rap song

The beat of is one of the key components of the track's success. Even the simplest but catchy beat can be the highlight of your song. Sometimes the text itself may not have much meaning, but a good melody will pull your track out.

First of all, forget about the big social networks where users post their free beats. Since, if there is a drop of publicly available bits, then besides you, there are several tens of thousands of rappers looking for music. Therefore, you will not be able to create anything exclusive. Probably, it will be freestyle under the same beat from hundreds of performers.

We recommend looking for individual beatmakers and buying or renting beats. Yes, you will need to spend money on this, but you will really get something new and cool. In addition, you exclude the possibility of violating someone else's copyright.

Consider writing a beat yourself. If you already have a rough picture of your melody, you can create a beat yourself. The network has a huge number of video tutorials on how to understand specialized programs.

Don't write straight. Use various literary devices so that the "scene in the track" can suit the widest range of people. Let the listeners look for their hidden meaning and subtext in the work.
Verse and chorus must be different . And it doesn't matter in terms of structure, rhythm or even execution. You must think this through in advance.
Listen to . Study the work of not only the best rappers of our time, but also cult musicians from different times. Listen to performers writing not only in Russian. The development of rap and hip-hop came from the West. "Listenance" will be very useful to you in the future.
Rhyme schemes and rhyme itself. Take the time to study them. Using various rhyming techniques, you can write a very deep and memorable work. Online rhyming dictionaries can also come to the rescue.
Read the text as you write. This will help not only to understand how well the words fit in the track, but also help with further recording and live performance. Try to properly build the flow for a harmonious sound.
Pre-registration. Before you run to the recording studio, record yourself on the voice recorder of the same phone. If you have a more or less high-quality microphone, then, of course, use it. This will help you hear yourself from the side, and you will be able to appreciate your style and the voice itself on the recording.
Freestyle . At the beginning, this may seem like a rather complicated process, but with practice, it will become much easier for you. In addition, it will help with further work on the text of future tracks, in terms of ease of selection of rhymes

Accents in your track

Doubles . This is the underlayment of your foundation. They seem to “envelop” the main track, giving volume and atmosphere so that the base does not sound too dry. You will create the effect of unobtrusive and small polyphony. It doesn't matter how loudly or quietly you read. It all depends on your idea. The only recommendation is that they do not stand out too much.

Backs . Then come the backs. As a rule, this is not a mandatory step, but, nevertheless, they complement the picture and the atmosphere as a whole. Like doubles, these are two tracks for the left and right ear. Most often, this is not a complete verse, but these are either rhyming phrases, words, or phrases and words that you want to emphasize. They won't be redundant. In any case, it's easier to delete them than to go to the studio and record them all over again.

Eblibs . "Skr-skr", "pyr-pyr", etc. They can be recorded on one track. Just shout, and the sound engineer will insert them at the right time. The key is that there is no conflict with the main audio track.

You must understand that not all tracks are needed in full. Something more and something less. The main thing is that you do not leave with only the main track, so record a lot of material.

Chorus . On the chorus, forget about any boundaries. Read calmly, read emotionally, sing, sing along, etc. the entire text so that you have at least 10 tracks so that you can work with the material: cut somewhere, add somewhere, remove somewhere. Thus, you will give the sound engineer a lot of "food" in order for you to get the finished result. The chorus should stand out, people should want to listen to it again and again.

What after recording?

At the studio, ask the sound engineer to give you a track out. These are all recorded and saved solo tracks, output and exported separately without minus and preferably from zero second. Not every sound engineer will be able to final mix the material during the recording of your track. It is better to take the tracks and give them to an exclusive sound engineer, who will mix the track for you for some money. Yes, it will be more expensive, but it will be much better. If suddenly the first sounder offers you to quickly mix, you can agree, but still turn to another specialist in the future.

Cover art

You got the finished track five days after mixing, and you should open Photoshop and make a cover art. It is important to understand that the cover should be in a square format, since all popular music platforms show exactly the 1: 1 format.

Fill in the key information and upload the track

One last but not least step is to open your file in AIMP.
