Here's a quick preview of some playing around with Synth V v1.9 I've been doing recently. That update basically brings around a new rap feature to make it easier to incorporate rap vocals into songs. And I love it so far - the raps in this song flow really well and the synth voices do a really good job at it! (Kevin in particular!) Plus, lyrically, this might be the strongest out of the four rap songs I've done so far. (five if you count Adventure too, even though that was literally just one section) They have that cool factor to them and they also fit the tone of the rap song very well! That said, I won't reveal the lyrics just yet. I'll let you lot try to decipher them in the meantime and I'll reveal them later on in the future once I get a more complete version of the song.

You can probably really feel that I was going for that Sonic CD/Sonic Rush vibe with the instrumental, with that reoccuring blues scale, busy snare pattern and that one synth sound. In particular, I was thinking of Metallic Madness from Sonic CD, with its one rap section. Or, more precisely, I had the Metallic Madness act 2 remix from Sonic Mania in mind for this, as the rap section in that song went REALLY hard and I wanted to try to create something similar to that. What can I say, I've been in quite a Sonic mood recently! Must be the Sonic Frontiers update and the fact that I got Sonic Symphony tickets that's influencing that, but yeah...

Anyway, I hope you enjoy! And stay tuned for the lyric reveal later down the line, as well as maybe an extra rap section too...
