Barz is the first and only live rap battle app. Match up against your friends or fellow Barz users on a live, timed video call with a fire beat in the background. Hone your battle rap and freestyle skills, gain a following, and cement yourself as the best rapper on the planet. Here is why Barz is the place to be for rappers and freestylers alike: RAP BATTLE LIVE Match at any time against others who are online. You and your opponent will face off on a live video call. Each rapper gets 40 seconds to spit over a background track. Live Battles are the perfect arena to flex your freestyle skills. WATCH & VOTE ON BATTLES Public battles will then be live to view on the platform. Fellow Barz members will have one week to vote on who spit the coldest verses, and the battler with the most votes will be crowned winner. The battles will then stay on the platform for you to watch and share anytime. PRACTICE WITH PRIVATE BATTLES If you don't feel ready to take your skills to the streets, you can practice against someone in a low-stakes, private battle environment with Private Battles. Only you two will be able to watch these battles back. CHALLENGE FRIENDS You can challenge a friend or specific Barz rapper to a public or private battle by sending an invite using a username. RISE THE RANKS WITH CLOUT SCORE The Clout Score is Barz's way of measuring your rap game. After each battle, your Clout Score goes up or down based on whether you won or lost and the Clout Score of your opponent. Keep sharpening those freestyle skills and taking down challengers, and watch your Clout Score soar as you climb to the top of the rankings.
