Autotune, an effect indispensable to modern hip-hop.
In Japan, it’s sometimes called the “kero-kero voice.”

Juice WRLD is a rapper who represents emo rap.
Although he sadly passed away in 2019, his popularity remains strong.
He has many fans among Japanese heads as well, doesn’t he? One of his classic tracks is Lucid Dreams.
Because it uses heavily reverbed Auto-Tune, the sound feels more dreamy than electronic.
If you’re new to emo rap, I recommend starting with this song.

Rapper 21 Savage from Atlanta.
Until a little while ago, he had the image of a promising young rapper, but lately, as his props have grown, he’s come to be recognized as more of a mid-career artist.
One of 21 Savage’s classic tracks is Bank Account.
The way Auto-Tune is used in this song is very interesting—it’s applied only to parts of the rap.
The occasional Auto-Tune “fake” creates a perfectly laid-back vibe.

It’s a piece that lays melodic rapping over a fast-tempo trap beat, showcasing his masterful use of Auto-Tune.
