Before the gig
The young rapper stared into the mirror, clenching his damp fists. In his imagination, fear streamed down his face in rivulets of sweat. A distant voice called his name, the announcer warming up the crowd for his appearance. What a performance it would be! He’d drop the mic. He’d fumble his rhymes. He’d be subject to shouts of shame, boo’ed from the stage, sent back into the nothingness from which he’d crawled.
“Hey kid. You’re up.”
Up. Yeah. “In a sec.”
The walk backstage felt like it took forever. The hallway stretched out. Mouth dry, lyrics missing from his mind, the rapper felt like walking down death row, the shouts from the crowd a persistent rumble in the distance. Then suddenly all was silent. He looked around. A mic. A massive crowd fallen silent at the sight of him, waiting with breaths held. Yes. His hand wrapped around the microphone, took a firm grip, pulled it out and the first rhymes fell into it as the beat started and his fans went wild.

Rappers like Post Malone also use random rap name generators
Random rap name makers are responsible for a number of notable rapper names. As reported on cheatsheet.com, Donald Glover's rapper name Childish Gambino actually came from a Wu-Tang clan name generator, and he's not the only one to have used anything like this. Austin Richard Post, known around the world as Post Malone, also used a hiphop name generator one time when he was a teenager and stuck with the result it gave him. And why not? After all that lyrics-writing you deserve a break, and obviously randomly generated names are considered worthy of fame. So go out and generate your perfect rapper name, and if you'd rather make music with more people, there's also a tool for band names.
Can I use the random rapper names that this tool creates?
Yes you can. The Story Shack claims no copyright on any of these names, but it is of course possible that some of the values the rap name generator provides are already owned by anyone else (not only other rappers), so please make sure to always do your due diligence.
