Rappers are challenged to rap for 64 bars straight over a beat given to them by the respective producer. A bar is a measure of four counts over a beat. In rap music, several bars make up a verse, and alongside other elements like hooks, ad-libs, rhythm, etc, they form the structure of a song.
With Red Bull 64 Bars, the rapper is challenged to just drop 64 bars of lyrics one after the other, with no pauses, hooks, ad-libs, or other elements. It is all about speaking your mind for 64 bars straight, which amounts to little over two minutes of dedicated lyrics.
Here are the songs, rappers, and producers who are part of Red Bull 64 Bars season 2.
