All that users’ need is a beat and lyrics, with the app allowing them to express themselves through music.

In addition to creating an original song with the beats available, users are also able to sing along to their favourite songs with the app’s Karaoke Booth, which features all of the songs from the film together in one place.
Users can share their own original compositions with their friends on Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms. Users can also listen to fiery raps and artists from the same gully (streets). As rappers become accustomed with the app they can send in their rap creations for the opportunity to feature on the Gully Beat app.
