It's common knowledge that singing (and by extension rapping) are usually unaffected by stuttering. For those of you who can't sing, have you actually tried rapping for fun? It changed my life. (Fun track to try out inside) I've had a stutter for as long as I can remember. It also never really mattered that much to me until high school. Unfortunately for me, I was always more into the rock/metal scene growing up which severely limited my exposure to rap. In my mid 20's I discovered I could rap as fast and as long as I could (as long as I knew the lyrics) and I wouldn't feel anything stutter related while I did it. No breath welling up in my chest feeling, no more being suddenly tongue tied, if I know the lyrics I can just go and go. I only do this in the car, but it's so unbelievably therapeutic. I don't like most rap songs, and like their lyrics even less, but I've spent the last few years searching out "fun" fast-paced songs to rap along to. Here's a main stream one I highly recommend by Lucas Joyner: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTDb0ebFh8E](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTDb0ebFh8E) Even if you hate rap, take the time to learn this one song and see how absolutely incredible it feels to say the words as fast as they do.
