Facebook's new TikTok-like app is for rappers

Facebook's R&D team, the NPE team, has a new app that brings TikTok features to an app targeted to aspiring rappers. Called BARS, it gives you a way to record rhymes while adding studio-quality vocal effects and beats. There are beats available in-app. If you want to write in the app, it can auto-suggest words that rhyme with what you're typing.

The app also has a Challenge mode, where you can wrap freestyle while using auto-suggested word cues.

To polish your creation, you can add audio and visual features as well as autotune. Of course, you can post these videos on social media. Each video can be as long as 60 seconds max.

BARS is in closed beta for iPhone users. The app is on the App Store, and you can reserve your username and sign up for the waitlist.
