Facebook is reportedly set to launch a new app called BARS. It is modeled off a TikTok-like template and will give aspiring rappers the ability to record with studio-quality vocal effects and professionally created beats.
There are many other features, including autotune and a word-suggestion function, to help spitters find the right word to fit their rhyme scheme. According to
Yahoo! Finance, the app also has Challenge mode, wherein users will have to rap freestyle while incorporating the auto-suggested word cues.
I know access to high-priced recording studios and production equipment can be limited for aspiring rappers. On top of that, the global pandemic shut down live performances where we often create and share our work, said DJ Iyler of Facebook s New Product Experimentation Team (NPE Team).

What a doozy of a year. I needn’t tell you of its incredible ups and downs mostly downs, on a grand scale at least so instead I’ll remind you of the role social media played in 2020. For starters, let’s just say: Thank
goodness for social media, and the technology that made connecting with people and working from home possible for so many this year. It’s not an outright replacement for in-person gatherings or the atmosphere of a collaborative office, but it sure as heck was better than nothing.
The year on social media started like any other. The Golden Globes happened (in person, can you imagine!), and celebrities and their stylists offered lovely looks at the jewels behind the scenes. Soon, we began setting our sights on spring, with nary a worry and bountiful jewels to welcome the new season.
