Lead with a hype partner
One of you raps, the other reacts. This is the split the Hotel Lobby trend made famous.
Your face on the mic
Be the AI Rapper
On Hotel Lobby Video (hotel-lobby-video.com) the AI rapper is you, not a cartoon: add your photo and a friend’s, name a subject, and you both appear rapping an original, clean verse in a short lip-synced video.
- Real faces, no avatar
- Duet or lead and hype
- Zero rap experience needed
- Credits shown before you create

Why it is different
An AI rapper that looks like you
Type “AI rapper” into a search bar and the results are mostly invented artists: a generated face, a fake name, a catalog of songs. This page flips that. You bring the faces, two photos of real people, and the AI covers what you cannot: lyrics, beat, a rap voice and the on-camera performance.
The one choice you make is how to split the mic. Both rap is switched on at the start, so you and your friend alternate lines. Turn it off and the left photo becomes the lead who raps the verse, while the right photo plays hype partner: pointing, laughing and moving to the beat.
Getting on the mic
How to turn yourself into an AI rapper
- 01
Decide who goes first
The left photo raps first. The right one answers, or just hypes if Both rap is off. Swap the photos to swap the roles.
- 02
Hand the AI a subject
Write a topic, up to 120 characters, or leave it blank for a rap about the two of you. With Both rap on you each get bars; off, only the lead raps.
- 03
Choose where you perform
The orange Hotel Lobby booth is preselected. The other stages move the two of you to a different room or a street corner.
Ways to perform
What your rapper self can do
Trade bars
Both voices on one mic, taking turns. It fits roasts, rap battles and couples.
Rap in your own language
A topic in French or Spanish gets a French or Spanish verse. A blank topic uses the language of the page.
Borrow a routine
Upload a 2 to 15 second dance clip and the pair copies its moves and camera work while rapping.
Rapper personas worth a try
- The commuter MC: “Ninety minutes on the 7 train and still the first one at work”
- The kitchen legend: “Mom’s lasagna recipe, guarded like a state secret”
- The fantasy football coach: “Benched the wrong guy again, blames the weather”
- The new homeowners: “Our first house, our first leaking roof, same week”
- The retiree with bars: “Aunt Linda, 72, beat the whole family at bowling”

I have never rapped. Can I still be the AI rapper in a video?
Yes. You only supply a clear photo of yourself and one of a friend, or one picture of both. The AI writes the verse and animates you delivering it.
Can it be just me, with no second person?
Not in a rap video, which always has a lead and a partner. A solo photo works in the Effects tab, but effects do not include a rap.
Does the AI rapper use my real voice?
No. The voice is generated with the song and does not clone anyone. If you want your own voice, upload a recording as Your song and the lead lip-syncs to it.
Can my friend and I both rap instead of one hyping?
Yes. With the AI rap sound, Both rap is on by default and the two of you alternate lines.
What does one AI rapper video cost?
10 credits for a 12 second AI rap on Seedance 2.0 Mini at 720p, on any stage including the Hotel Lobby booth. Failed renders are refunded automatically.
Can I use a photo of a celebrity or a stranger?
No. Only use photos of people who agreed to appear. Public figures and strangers are not allowed.
