Behind it, the rhyme map shows no strict pair turns up at all, the family column is blank, and the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five.

Why mba rhymes the way it does
Mba sits on the flat /æ/, transcribed /æ/ in our engine, and doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1114, assonance 5,615, and consonance 0. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Mba pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
