Rapt

Rapt is so cool. My buddy @kellymcgrath used to rap on here on the reg (still does?). I've known the founder Erik for a while now and he recently moved to SF. I'll bring him into this thread.

Erik Torenberg, AKA T-Berg, MC/CEO here. Gigantic gave a great overview -- Who wants to rap? Find T-Berg or Gigantic and let's show you the product in action :)

Whats up all?! So honored to have @raptfm featured here. I am Senior Front End Developer / Community / Social / #1 Rapper on rapt.fm aka GIGANTIC :) Thanks again @rrhoover - Ill be here to help answer any questions until Erik (Founder) jumps in.

I would like to add that besides rap battles we offer personal rooms aka #iRAP rooms for practice or performance - you pick your own beats & rap to randomly generated words. Here is an example of @ycthecynic putting on a live show on #iRAP:

I'm so happy this post came back around to get more exposure on PH. Lots of great things about Rapt!
