In rap, the beat usually gives the song away before the verse does. A five-second clip of a hip-hop track tends to catch the drums, a sample or an ad-lib, and those are often enough on their own. Travis Scott's "It's lit!" or DJ Khaled shouting his own name can place a song before a single bar is rapped.
Lyrics matter less than people expect, because a short clip often lands on a hook or a producer tag rather than a line you know by heart. The harder part is telling one artist's songs apart. Drake, Eminem and Future have long catalogues and their production changes from album to album, so recognising the era of a beat narrows it down fast. If you mostly know a rapper from features, start with their biggest solo singles and work outwards. Pick anyone below, from Cardi B and Lil Baby to Ninho and XXXTENTACION.
Pick an artist below, listen to a five-second clip from one of their songs, and choose the right title from four options before the timer runs out.
