Cypress Hill said it best with, "So you wanna be a rap super star, live large, a big house, five cars?" Ok, so they said 'rock' not 'rap' but they are rappers and the point is that you can have all those things in the rap industry but only if you have the songs and talent to back it up. It is definitely not as easy as it looks to write any song including a rap song. There are beats, flows, rhymes, off-rhymes, lyrical content and meaning. All that takes drive, determination, guts and talent. All of which can be improved upon with a lot of practice.

Our expert has been in the rap and hip hop world for years and brings with him all his knowledge of this industry to share it with you.

Jason will go over all these things in detail and teach you how to harness your emotions to bring out the best in your writing. He will show you some tips on how to overcome writer's block and collaborating with other artists. If you want to be the best you have to do more than the others. These videos will set you on your way to rap stardom!
