How it worked
Whenever you hear a Tinie Tempah song playing from his new album, Demonstration, just pull out this app and Tinie will start rapping along. The Rap Demonstration app works by using custom built sound analysis software to determine which Tinie Tempah song you’re listening to, before dropping you directly into a video of Tinie rapping along to that song, perfectly matched up to the music you’re listening to. Hold your phone up to your mouth, and you’re now rapping like Tinie.
The video for 'Lover not a Fighter' comes pre-loaded on the app and all the other videos can be downloaded for free within the app itself. And if you already own any of his songs, or go on to purchase through the app, you can play those videos whenever you want straight from your phone.
The app reached number 5 in the app store, praised by industry press, shared by fans online, used at his live concerts and almost half of all users also went on to purchase his music - directly through the app.
"Probably the best app ever" ~ Nick Grimshaw BBC Radio 1
Rap Demonstration was played with live on Radio One by Nick Grimshaw. After describing it as "possibly the best app ever" and demoing it on the live Radio One webcam, he went on to point out how it’s also a great way of making your teeth look good, just like Tinie's - although that wasn’t the main aim of the app. It was also shared to Grimmy and Radio One's fans on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Press Coverage
The app was also featured and praised by a number of influential technology and music publications, a selection of which are below.

The Guardian

Paul Lamere Spotify
"Tinie Tempah's Rap Demonstration app is an excellent example of innovation in mobile marketing"
