3 Amazing Ways Artists Can Be More Creative

In today’s rap world we come across individuals who ride trends (Waves) and don’t contribute creativity to the game anymore. In the 90’s when hip hop was at it’s fullest potential and just breaking out into mainstream, we had a slew of artists with their own style and sound. And it was frowned upon if another rapper came along and took that rappers style, flow and sound.

1) Have A Unique Style And Sound

The major thing that is being mimicked right now is the look and sound of each rapper. Rappers wait for a trend to rise and immediately follow it if it has some sort of success.

Rappers went from speaking intelligently on tracks, where you can hear them clearly, to mumbling on tracks. What I would say is move away from that sound.

Try creating a sound that’s different. Add new instruments to your beats. Try a different flow that challenges your mind, tone, projection and lyrics. Be unique and people will flock to you.
