Harry Mack takes his talents to Twitch

On February 8, Mack was live on Twitch taking words from viewers in his chat and turning them into lyrics. One viewer suggested he freestyle a haiku, and Harry was up for the challenge.

A haiku is a Japanese poem that consists of three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. It may seem impossible to come up with a haiku on the spot, but Harry pulled it off.

“When I’m on the mic/ I go off the beaten path/ Like a mountain bike”

The rhyme fit the requirements for a haiku, and Mack whipped it up in just mere moments.

The 31-year-old rapper may have one of the most entertaining chats on all of Twitch, as it’s not often a professional rapper would use turn your words into an actual rap bar.
