The Six Steps

Get permission and pick two photos

Ask both people first — you may only upload photos of people who agreed to appear. Front-facing portraits work best: clear face, shoulders up, JPG/PNG/WebP up to 10 MiB each.

Create a free account

Upload one photo per performer

Drop each portrait into its own slot in the creator. Two individual photos — no collage, no editing beforehand.

Add names, the occasion, and one inside detail

Tell the AI who is rapping and why: a birthday, a roast, a friendship. The "one specific detail only your duo would laugh at" is what makes the lyrics land.

Pick a style and generate

Choose from six flows (Trap, Drill, Boom Bap, Old School, Melodic, Freestyle) and submit. The AI writes the lyrics, generates the beat, and renders the video — typically about 3 minutes.

Download and share

You get a vertical 9:16 MP4 with audio, private to your account for 7 days — ready for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Failed generations do not consume credits.

Good to Know

Photos become unavailable within 24 hours (hourly cleanup) unless a task still needs them.
Every generation goes through automated safety review before delivery.
The same steps work for a solo roast or a friend duet — see the AI rap duet generator page for duet specifics.
Outputs vary — the site samples are real generations, but every video is written fresh for your photos and topic.
