At Bar Rated, we don't just spotlight bars — we elevate the culture. Hip-hop has always been about more than just words on a beat; it's a way of life. We're here to give MCs the spotlight and fans a front-row seat to witness the raw, unfiltered talent that too often gets overlooked. Whether you're spitting fire or supporting the artists who do.
Bar Rated is a platform where real lyricism thrives. Built for the culture by the culture and inspired by platforms like Sways' Overtime show, Bars on I 95, Punchline Academy, Team Backpack, World Emcee, and Wreck Shop Movements' Subway Ciphers. Our mission is to empower independent MC’s with culturally relevant tech that serves their interests. From street corner ciphers to the stage, from lesser known artists to rap legends, Bar Rated is where you'll find top tier rap.
