After finding the AI version I assumed you had generated this as well. It's been a hot minute since I've done anything creatively with audio/music, but would have been interesting to work with AI generated or AI-assisted vocals like that. Off-topic-ish: I have the beginnings of a modular/eurorack synth boxed up after a move, still. Also very much a noob with modular, but I've been playing with the idea to hook up the cv to real-time network monitoring to give my network a voice. It would take some time/tuning to get somewhere musically, if it would evolve from pure noise at all, but I'll take a packet powered pseudo-RNG noise box. Putting the ARP in arpeggio.

Having only heard the final edit of course, but I'd say your voice works well for rap/nerdcore. As with all things: if you put in the effort/time you'll improve. You may find yourself not having to correct the flow as much. And if you're not looking to perform live, why would you care when you get the flow/outcome you like through slicing/editing?

The lyrics to me seem like you put too much thought into referencing tools/tech in every line, which makes me fail to stay with the story/subtext. The deeper meaning is lost on me. That may mean I'm not the intended audience, and therefore be an N=1 answer to the question you were floating here on HN.

Tool/tech ref to word/line ratio is lower for artists like Ohm-I, Dual Core, ytcracker, making it easier to follow the "plot". More palatable with a hook as well, but if that makes it too clubby/hip hop/not you then don't, obviously.

Thanks for sharing.
