An extreme example of this is the Deceptikonz track, ‘White Sunday Prelude,’ in which a single voice raps unaccompanied.
Unlike other vocalists, rappers do not deliver their lyrics within a certain melody and instead follow only rhythmic restraints; it is only during choruses that a melody is introduced into the vocal line and this often forms the ‘hook’ of the track.
In the Scribe/P-Money track, ‘Remember?’, a case of childhood sexual abuse is told from the perspective of a woman who regards the event as a deep betrayal of trust.
