Overview

DeepBeat is a web-based AI tool that generates rap lyrics using machine learning techniques. It combines lines from existing rap songs to produce new verses, selecting lines that rhyme and make sense together. The underlying approach is described in the research paper "DopeLearning: A Computational Approach to Rap Lyrics Generation." Users can generate full lyrics or line-by-line, with options to suggest rhyming lines or include specific keywords.

Full Description ▼

The service supports multiple languages, including English and Finnish, and can be configured to force certain words to appear in the output. It also offers a deep learning feature that can be enabled for improved coherence, though it is disabled by default for performance reasons. DeepBeat was created by Eric Malmi, Stephen Fenech, and Pyry Takala and has been featured in media outlets such as Bloomberg, WSJ, and MIT Technology Review.

The tool is primarily a research demonstration and has experienced periods of downtime due to dependency issues (e.g., Python 2 support). As of late 2022, lyrics generation was restored. It remains a niche but notable example of computational creativity applied to music lyrics.
