Words that rhyme with Comp
The phonetic facts first: comp is one-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the open /ษ/, and the line lands on a nasal-stop cluster. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. This one travels in song as a workaday word. Songwriters asking for rhymes for comp run into the same map every time: perfect rhymes hand you a small starter set, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why comp rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for comp starts at the vowel โ the short /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line lands on a nasal-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 6 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 93, assonance 6,775, and consonance 99. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Comp reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
