For all of you Hip Hop heads out there Def Jam has released the gaming experience you have been waiting for- Def Jam Rapstar! This game allows you to spit lyrics freestyle or rhyme your favourite tracks by established artists like T.I or 50Cent and record your skills using your console camera.

Then upload your video to the fully integrated Def Jam Rapstar community at www.defjamrapstar.com, where the world can decide if you’re rap-ability is on point.
What makes the game even better is with the European versions you get tracks by the hottest artists in your country. We all know its not just people from the US who can rap! So get ready to unleash your inner Tinie Tempah or Dizzee Rascal with tracks “Pass Out” and “Fix Up Look Sharpe” on the UK version.
France can look forward to NTM featuring Lord Ko’s “Ma Benz” and Sefyu’s “Molotov 4”, while the German version will exclusively feature Sido’s “Mein Block (Beathoavenz remix)” and Kool Savas’s “Futurama”.
“As I continue to travel the globe, I’m always amazed how Hip Hop has impacted youth culture in every country around the world” stated Kevin Liles, President and CEO of Def Jam Enterprises. “Each territory is creating their own movement, style, artists, and songs that resonate with the Hip Hop experience in their respective country. Hip Hop is global, therefore Def Jam Rapstar must also be global, and provide local content providers the opportunity to represent Hip Hop in their own language in their own voice.”
Def Jam Rapstar has more than 40 of the greatest Hip Hop tracks of all time from old school style Slick Rick’s “Children’s Story” to Young Jeezy ft Kanye West “Put On”.
The game will be out this Autumn so get ready to make your own Hip Hop history….
