Put attitude in your voice. Sounding monotone or bored is the quickest way to lose fans or followers. Lil Wayne's swagger shines through when he freestyles and you can hear that his delivery is packed with confidence. Don't overdo it, but put a little bit of swagger in your rhymes and believe that your voice deserves to be heard.

First figure out what you want to rhyme with.

Let's say your rhyming word was "Laptop"

You want to break the word "Latop" into syllables.

"Lap-Top" listen to each syllable and practice matching the syllables to different words in your rhyming vocabulary.

Lap-Top: Flat-Top, Back-Drop, Slap-Shot

Now integrate your Multi-Syllable Rhyming words into your freestyle verses --

"Crunching rhymes into this Lap-Top/
My style is smoother than 90s Flat-Tops/
It would stand out even in a Back-Drop/
Cuz my flow hits harder than a Slap-Shot/"

Keep your head in a rhyming dictionary and a regular dictionary to expand the number of words in your arsenal. That along with plain old practice will take your Multi-Syllable Rhyming to the next level!!

Soon it will come to be second nature, just as you started writing rhymes. Check out my channel for some REAL ART OF FREESTYLING!
