I've been a musician for 10 years but I decided to do this course to patch up my foundation. There were a few key aspects I took away from this course which helped me re-vamp my current style and look at a few of my techniques more intricately. Really appreciate your teaching methods and the versatility of a well-rounded outlook on the artform.

Pretty informative on what makes rap work and the exercises are very good to get the brain in a creative mind state while puzzle solving and getting better after each drill.

Clear, concise, comprehensive. At first I was pensive. Thoughts flow from my mind, open, to my pen, and they live.

Honestly, I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this course or get anything out of it at first. I have been doing mainly freestyle rap for over 2 years and done little writing because I wasn't confident in what i've written despite feedback telling me the opposite. But this course was brilliant. The instructor knows what they are talking about and explains things in a clear way. Even though I knew most of the topics discussed, I found benefit from the exercises that are put forward at the end of most videos. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and got me to think about my work in different ways, understand where I can improve, and have confidence that I can write my rap lyrics and see that it doesn't need to be perfect. I don't normally do reviews but I have looked into a lot of videos on rap and this course is honestly one of the best I've found. From basic to advanced it really does give guidance on each topic and the course is structured to become more challenging as it continues. Many of these topics are important to improve your art and the fact its all in one place is satisfying. Thank you Denovon for putting this together. It has been a huge benefit to me.

I have just finished the course and I can say that I got great value from it. The structure of the course and exercises provided are really good because they keep you activated and it helps build your skills because you practice. Only thing that I would add are maybe some tips on creating songs, like how to pick subjects and how to pick themes that you would put in your choruses and verses, that's is just what I would recommend adding, other than that I am recommending this course to any beginner/intermediate rapper!

This course was great. It has been a long journey of trying to play around with words and never having a clue about what I was doing and all the sophistication involved in actually creating logical verses that make a point and then add up to a song. I figured I just stick to just playing around with words, which I thought was word play, but it wasn't. Sometimes, I may have made sense, but must of the time I did not, and did not care, but intuitively I felt like it was good for the mind. So on thing lead to another after being told I need to write in order to make sense, searching on YouTube and trying to mind out ideas, I found out about this course. This course allowed me to learn one of my most favorite songs- "Rapper's Delight", by Sugar Hill Gang. Yes I did modify the song to fit me, and I love practicing that song as much as I can. It toke I long time to memorize and it was a challenge get it down to the beat, but when I did I was so happy. Thank you for that. Just as important if not more was becoming aware of the tools and mindset it takes to create songs and to look into cyphers. Guess with the COVID19, people are doing cyphers online, so that is something I need to look into. Your class has also encouraged me to look into the history of rapping, to learn about the pioneers such as Kool Herc, Grand Master Flash and Furious Five, Keith Cowboy, John "Mr. Magic" Rivas, and more, who laid the foundation for Roxanne Shante , MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, to Rakim (his book "Sweat the Technique" , was really good, very enlightening), “The Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Show” to UGK, Ghetto Boys, NWA, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Eminem, and the list goes on and on, to the world community, and the future. So again, I thank you very much for your course and look forward to practicing what you taught.
