I put Sinatra in there for rapping, obviously he isn't a rapper but a singer. I have him as an inspiration because how he phrases his words and how clear you can hear every word. A lot of empathesis on a certain word or last word in a bar. It helps to me to be clearer and to almost sing my raps as of late

I think they should have their own category, its not really producing when you're arranging an orchestra
