What this template does

The boombox rap AI trend turns two photos into a street rap video: you walk toward the camera and rap with big hand moves, while a friend walks behind you with a silver boombox on

What is the Boombox Rap AI trend, and where did it start?

The clip comes from **"Slide" by Connor Price and Nic D**, two artists who make many songs together and film most of them as one-take walking videos. They released the song on 3 January 2026 with a video on YouTube: the two walk down a quiet street next to a red-brick building, one raps into the camera with quick hand moves, and the other walks behind him with a silver boombox on his shoulder.

Photo requirements for Boombox Rap AI

• From the waist or knees up, face clear and well lit. The AI keeps your faces, hair and clothes, so wear what you want to be seen in. A hoodie or a denim jacket fits the look.
• Look at the camera or a little to the side. No sunglasses, and no hair over the eyes.
• One person per photo. In a group photo the AI can pick the wrong person.
• Going solo? Pick the "Just you" version: one photo, and a made-up friend in sunglasses carries the boombox.
• Use your own photos, or photos of adult friends who said yes. Never a celebrity or a stranger.

Troubleshooting Boombox Rap AI

• What goes wrong — What to do
• --- — ---
• The two of you swap places — Check the photo order: photo 1 is the rapper in front. Run it again
• The boombox covers your friend's face — The prompt keeps it beside the head. Run it again if it slides in front
