Today we’re excited to announce the launch of the new and improved AutoRap, allowing both amateurs and emerging artists to easily create high-quality rap videos with a click of their phone.

Our mission is to bring music back to its roots and encourage anyone to join in. With AutoRap, Smule makes rap more accessible – easier for anyone to lay down their first hip hop track, no matter their skill level. At the same time, experienced rappers are empowered with the resources they need to share their tracks with the world and grow their following.

The new AutoRap adds video for the first time, allowing users to showcase their talent and post great-looking videos for the community to enjoy. A lyrics tab allows them to be displayed alongside videos for listeners to follow along. An all-new content feed makes it easy to browse tracks from the community, get noticed, earn respect and grow followers by sharing your rap songs and participating in contests and challenges.
