Getting Started
What is VerseWars?
VerseWars is where MCs come to prove their skills. Artists battle head-to-head with just their voice and bars—no beats, no backing tracks, just pure lyrical fire.
Why a cappella only?
No beats means the playing field is level—it's all about your bars, your flow, your delivery. Can't hide behind production when it's just you and your skills. That's real hip-hop.
How do I join?
We're cooking up something fire! Get on the waitlist to be first in line when we drop. Early members help us build this community right.
Battle System
How do battles work?
Step up and challenge someone or accept an open challenge. Drop your verse straight, no backing track needed. Then the community votes on who brought the heat—bars, flow, creativity, delivery.
What are the battle rules?
- All verses must be original content
- A cappella only—no beats or backing tracks
- Respectful competition—no personal attacks or hate speech
- Time limits will be clearly specified for each battle format
- No artificial enhancement or manipulation of recordings
How is judging done?
The squad votes on who won based on bars (wordplay, metaphors, storytelling), flow and delivery, creativity, and overall impact. No politics, no payola—just straight judgment.
Are there different battle formats?
Hell yeah! Quick-fire rounds, multi-round wars, themed challenges, tournaments—we got it all. Each format keeps it fresh with different rules and time limits.
Community & Culture
What are your community standards?
We keep it respectful and honor hip-hop culture. Battle hard, but no personal attacks or toxic nonsense. We celebrate skill and keep the community growing positive.
Can I use copyrighted lyrics?
Nah. Everything gotta be your original work. Biting other artists' bars is against our rules and copyright laws. We want to hear YOUR creativity and skill, not someone else's.
How do you handle inappropriate content?
We use both automated systems and community reporting to identify problematic content. Our moderation team reviews reports quickly, and violations result in content removal and potential account restrictions.
Technical Questions
What devices can I use?
VerseWars works on desktop and mobile devices through web browsers. Our recording tools are optimized for quality audio capture on various devices, though a good microphone always helps your performance shine.
Do you have mobile apps?
We'll launch as a responsive web app that works great on mobile browsers. Native mobile apps may come later based on community demand and feedback.
How do you ensure audio quality?
Our platform includes audio enhancement tools and quality checks to ensure fair competition. We provide tips for optimal recording conditions and maintain consistent audio standards across all submissions.
