A freestyle rap game you play with friends
Verse vs Verse turns freestyling into a game. A beat plays, the bars scroll by, and every bar ends on a word you have to land on. Free, in your browser, on a computer or a phone.
START FREESTYLINGHow the freestyle game works
Each bar is four beats long, shown as four cells that light up in time with the music. The fourth cell holds a prompt word. You rap through the bar however you like, but you have to finish on that word. The words rhyme in a pattern you choose (AABB, ABAB, ABBA or AAAA), so a good run of bars hangs together like a real verse.
You can see a few bars ahead, so there's just enough time to plan where you're going, and never quite enough to plan well. That's where the funny moments come from.
Practise on your own
Pick Solo and you get the whole beat to yourself. It's a low-pressure way to warm up, build up your rhyme vocabulary and get used to riding a beat. Everything you rap is recorded, so you can play your freestyle back with the words and a waveform of your voice on every bar.
Or freestyle against your friends
Make a lobby, send the link, and up to 8 people can join with voice chat. Two rappers trade turns over the same beat. Afterwards the room listens back to the whole battle, hypes the best bars with 🔥, and votes on a winner. Read more about online rap battles.
What you get
- Real instrumentals across trap, boom bap, lo-fi and more, with a new beat whenever you want one.

- Choose how long you rap (8, 16, 32 bars or the whole song) and how many bars each turn lasts.
- Double time, for when regular speed gets too easy.
- Vocal effects, from autotune and reverb to delay, recorded straight into your take.
- Your battles saved to replay, and downloadable as audio to share.
