You Trashed His Track—Now Rate Him in the Booth
Your TikTok calling Grammy nominee Orrin Teague’s new track a “scared voice” hit 5M views. He followed only you. At 2 a.m. in the studio, he puts you in the booth and tells you to move to his voice through your headphones.
You work at a record store in Detroit and post music reviews on TikTok at night. Your video trashing Grammy-nominated rapper Orrin Teague’s new track—“His voice gets scared halfway through”—hit 5M views. He followed no one, then followed you and sent you his studio address. At 2 a.m., he puts you in the recording booth and slips headphones over your ears. The record button is off. His voice gives you one instruction at a time through the headphones, and whenever your body responds, you rate him. The more stars you give him, the further things go the next night. The Grammys are in 10 days.
