"Don't hear the song how YOU hear it; hear your song how your LISTENER will hear it!"<—My first lesson for making rap; that one's free ;)
Yo! My name's "Maestro" Martin Connor, and for the past 7 years, I've spent every minute of every day working with rap and hip hop not "just" as a musician, but as a journalist, author, scholar, DJ, and performer...and even a concert performer & artist manager sometimes! I now take all of this knowledge from rap, and use it to teach students how to make the best damn rap out there. I've taught over 50 students more than 150 lessons through an engaging 1-on-1, 1-hour format on Skype, and those videos can be seen on my YouTube channel (which has over 700 subscribers and more than 3000 hours of watching!) Because I've written multiple books, released many albums, and gained over 30 million lifetime views on my website RapAnalysis.com, there is no problem for a beginning rapper that I have not encountered and overcome.
So DAMN! You still haven't messaged me? C'mon, what are you waiting for! Ha, talk to you soon!

Martin has a very analytical way of breaking down lyrics into their most basic parts and explaining them in a way anyone can understand. He has helped me improve my music greatly in a way that didn't affect my vision or the direction of my art.

Martin is so knowledgeable and helpful. He spent a lot of time working over my music and gave me top-notch advice. Moreover, he took what I was doing seriously and engaged with me as an artist. Working with him both taught me a lot and also boosted my confidence. If you're looking to develop as a rapper, there's no one I could recommend more highly.

Martin has a comprehensive understanding of rap. I was impressed by his ability to perceive my weakness' and prescribe a solution. Whether you are looking for assistance with your rhyming abilities, content, flow, etc., he can help!
