Getting Started with Rapchat
Getting Started
Quick answer
The fastest way to create your first song on Rapchat is to sign up, choose a beat, tap Record, and publish once your vocals and mix feel right.
Rapchat lets you find beats, record vocals, and publish songs from one account.
Headphones give you the cleanest first recording because the beat stays out of the microphone.
You can collaborate later by sending feature requests to other artists.
How do I create my first song on Rapchat?
Create an account, browse beats, tap Record on a beat you like, record your vocals with headphones on, then mix and publish your song.
Do I need to upload my own beat to get started?
No. Rapchat already includes thousands of beats you can browse by genre, mood, producer, and chart position.
What should I do if I need help during setup?
Start with the support center, then contact support@rapchat.com if you still hit an issue with signup, recording, or publishing.
