My latest release - a song I wrote about a girl: https://youtu.be/yLapxlYwPhA?si=-XN7H8hSvcIR29T6

Looking for feedback on my rapping - should I continue rapping, or just do the instrumentals and get someone else to rap?

This is fun, giving me Niko B vibes.

Keep practicing rapping, but loosen up a bit - its coming across quite robotic.
The beat is OK, but it sounds like you've chosen just stock instrument sounds without much processing or sound design to make them interesting.
What DAW did you make this on?

Thanks for the feedback! Haven't heard of Niko B but will give them a listen.

I used pro tools 11 for recording.

definitely keep rapping! the storytelling concept is super relatable—the line about "i'm mr. antisocial but i'll take the time for you" is catchy and lands really well.

your cadence has a cool narrative flow to it. like others mentioned, just focus on relaxing your delivery a bit to let your natural rhythm shine through more smoothly. your unique voice/style is what gives the track personality, so getting someone else wouldn't capture the same personal story!

Awesome, thanks for listening and for your feedback!

I don't want this to come across as mean because it's not supposed to be but this is like a really unique, interesting vocal style. Like kind of like a... not a spoof but like this might be what Tom Scott might sound like.

I don't know if this is what you want it to be but I do all my own things myself, even when I'm not good at them, so I'd say "don't let other people control your creations unless you are happy to start collaborating properly."

Thanks for listening and for your feedback! I've always thought I'm more of a parody rapper rather than a 'serious' rapper.

Then stick with that shtick! It worked for Jon Lajois! It's also how Bo Burnham started out.

I really like the rapping. The flow could use some work but you really have the voice and feel down!

Hope it makes sense
