Front voice and sidekick
One of you carries the verse, the other throws ad-libs and dances. It is the split the trend made famous.
The rapper is you
An AI rapper video here casts you, not a made-up character: add your portrait and a friend’s, give the verse a subject, and the two of you perform a fresh rap at one mic. It costs 10 credits for 12 seconds and needs zero flow on your part.
Your two faces
A single face per picture. Both take verses.

Why it is different
Type “AI rapper” into a search bar and you mostly meet invented performers with invented names. They are fun to watch, but they are not you. This studio starts from your camera roll instead: one portrait of you, one of a friend, and the AI handles everything you cannot do on a weeknight, from the bars to the vocal to the performance itself.
Treat it like booking a session for two. With Both rap on, you split the verse and swap lines. Switch it off and the left portrait becomes the front voice while the right one plays sidekick, pointing, laughing and bouncing on the beat.
Getting on the mic
The left portrait opens the verse; the right one answers, or only does ad-libs if Both rap is off. Switch the photos to switch the roles.
Up to 120 characters, or nothing at all for a verse about the two of you. Keep Both rap on to share the bars.
The orange set from the trend is loaded first; three other sets move the duet somewhere new at the same price.
Ways to play it

Two voices passing one mic back and forth. Great for siblings, couples and anyone who argues for fun.
Write the subject in German, Tagalog or Spanish and the verse comes back in that language. A blank box uses the page language.
Upload a dance clip of 2 to 15 seconds and the pair copies its moves and camera while rapping.

These clips show the format. Other people made them with other tools, and each one is credited and linked to its post. They are not output from Hotel Lobby Video.
Yes, that is the whole idea. Add a sharp portrait of yourself and one of a friend, or a single picture of both, and the studio animates you performing a fresh verse.
Not as a rap. Every rap take has two performers. One portrait can go through the Effects tab, but effects carry ambient sound, not a verse.
No. The vocal is generated with the song and copies nobody. To hear your real voice, record yourself, upload it as Your song, and the front voice lip-syncs to it.
Yes. Each portrait is used on its own, so photos from different cities, phones or years still end up side by side at the mic.
10 credits for 12 seconds on Seedance 2.0 Mini at 720p, on any set including the orange one. A take that fails is refunded on its own.
No. Only people who agreed to appear may be in your photos. Celebrities, public figures and strangers are off limits.
Your verse is waiting
Your portrait, a friend’s portrait, one subject. You see the credits before you commit.
