Rap Stakes: the battle game with an AI rap judge

Ever watched a battle and thought you'd have had a better comeback? Rap Stakes is where you find out – and an AI judge is listening.

The first game with an AI rap judge

Rap Stakes is a brand-new freestyle rap battle game, and it's the first ever with an AI rap judge. Spit your bars and the judge scores the battle on the things that matter – flow, rhythm and wordplay.

Go bar for bar

Step up to the mic and battle head-to-head. Battle culture has always been about the bars, not luck, and Rap Stakes keeps it that way: the sharper your freestyle, the better you do.

Compete head-to-head via Skillz

Rap Stakes runs on Skillz, so you're matched against real players in head-to-head skill competition. Bring your best verse every round.

Level up your freestyle

• Ride the beat. Lock into the rhythm before you reach for the clever line.
• Wordplay wins rounds. Double meanings and tight rhymes hit harder than volume.
• Keep your nerve. Every battler stumbles. The good ones recover in the next bar.

For fans of battle rap and grime

If you grew up on clashes, cyphers and freestyles, Rap Stakes is made for you – UK-built by Hustler Games, by people who love the culture.
