This research explores the potential effects of rewriting rap songs from Norwegian to English, and vice versa, analysing not only the effects on its lyrics but also shifts in its meaning, and delivery. employing an artistic research methodology charecterized by its experimental, intuitive and chaotic processes. it documents the creative process during the creation of four rap songs. The research provides recordings from early to late stages of the creative process allowing the reader to listen and more deeply understand the songs. "Flow" is a deep and complex term, this research attempts to depart from established definitions of flow, seeing it from a broader viewpoint.
