What is flow in rap music?

In rap music, flow is the combination of rhythm, cadence, and speed with which a rapper delivers the lyrics of a song. It is an important element of a rapper’s technique, along with such qualities as the complexity of the artist’s rhymes and the ability to “freestyle” (or improvise) rhymes on the spot.
