If you’ve ever listened to battle rappers’ albums, you’ll realize this immediately.

So what are the elements of a dope MC? First and foremost, an MC should have a distinctive sound that is instantly recognizable. Listeners shouldn’t have to be told who they’re listening to; they should know from the very first word. An MC should have clever lyrics and memorable hooks, but without a strong voice, the songs will fall flat.

What is vocal character, and how do we define it? There are three aspects of the sound that need to be mastered:

  1. Range: Can an MC rap over both fast and slow hip-hop beats? Can they convey anger, sarcasm, sexiness, strength, confidence, vulnerability? The wider the range of emotions a rapper can cover,
