This article was written with the hope that aspiring rappers can find a way to improve their skills.It covers the basics of finding your "sound", guaranteed exercises to increase your lung capacity, and thus the level of text delivery, and some tips for freestyle and wordplay.

Steps

1. 1 To better control your breathing, do this exercise continuously.
   • If you can't get to the top of the verse the way you want to, 98% of the problem is your breathing. A strong diaphragm is essential for an artist, and no one can argue with that. Listen to songs by Krayzie Bone, Twista, Busta Rhymes, Tech N9ne, Tonedeff or Yelawolf and you will understand why breathing is so important.
2. 2 Do this exercise 3 times a day for 20 minutes. It only takes an hour of your time a day. If you're serious about rap, you'll find this time on your schedule.
3. 3 Exhale quickly and gradually so that your lungs become completely empty.
4. 4 Hold this state for 5 seconds. You may feel a little painful and feel like your lungs are being compressed, but this is only because your diaphragm is not used to working at full capacity.
5. 5 After 5 seconds, take a deep and quick breath and hold the air for 10 seconds. Take a break to restore normal breathing and try again. You should get about 15-20 reps in 20 minutes.
6. 6 Start slowly! Believe it or not, you can hurt yourself by doing this exercise. If you inhale too deeply and hold your breath for too long, you can damage your lungs or esophagus. Use your common sense and don't go too far. You will know when you are ready to increase the length of each rep.
7. 7 If you do the exercise every day, you will see results in 4-8 weeks. With this exercise, you stretch your diaphragm and muscles, which helps increase your range of motion and helps you breathe better. By doing this, you will be able to hold on longer, pay more attention to your lyrics without getting out of rhythm, and sound more confident as you perform.

Tips

• While freestyle, think of different words that rhyme with the last word in a line and build the whole verse on them.
• Start small and grow. This exercise is great for helping your cardio system.

Warnings

• DO NOT OVERDAY! YOU COULD DAMAGE THE IRIS OR LUNGS IF YOU GO TOO FAR.
