Look to the lyrics of your verses to help determine your chorus. Examine your lyrics to see what themes emerge. For example, if you are telling a story about a tough situation you have experienced with your friends or family in the verses, a few themes you can choose to focus on in the chorus could include how much you care for your loved ones or how you will sacrifice all for others. Develop a clear connection between the verses and chorus so that all the pieces of the song are related or connected.
Determine a rhyme scheme. The chorus is also known as the hook. It should be ear-catching and memorable to your audience.
Build into your chorus and end on a bang. Start the chorus with your beats in mind. When you reach the end of the chorus, you can change by speeding your rapping tempo up to impress your audience or by slowing down to emphasize a particular phrase.
Experiment with your chorus. Contemporary rappers utilize melodies and harmonies in their choruses by mixing rapping with singing. You can ask a female singer to accompany you on the choruses. You can also experiment with programs such as Autotune which change the intonation of your voice.
Test drive your raps with others. Ask a friend for feedback or attend an open mic night at a local music venue. Discover what your audience liked and disliked and adjust accordingly.
