It’s time for another musical BitLife challenge to roll by. During BitLife’s Unlike Us challenge, your goal is to have a character become a famous rapper with several records that go platinum and successful tours that bring in millions. With this success comes some enemies, making everything even more fun.
BitLife Unlike Us challenge guide
BitLife’s Unlike Us challenge has five tasks to complete:
- Be born in Los Angeles
- Become a famous rapper
- Turn a friend into an enemy
- Make $1M+ while going on tour
- Have 3+ records go platinum
Completing this challenge requires purchasing the Musician expansion pack. Without it, you won’t be able to become a famous rapper, go on tours, or obtain platinum records, despite the other two objectives being easily achievable without it.
Be born in Los Angeles
Your first task in BitLife’s Unlike Us challenge is to have a character born in Los Angeles. To do this, set your starting country as the United States and Los Angeles as your place. Your name and gender are entirely up to you. You’ll also want to select Music as your special talent to make later tasks in this challenge easier.
To make your odds of becoming a famous rapper easier later, create a character with high looks stats. Although you don’t require high looks for this challenge, your odds of success are generally higher, especially when raising your fame later on. Alternatively, you can use plastic surgery and gym visits to achieve the same effect.
As you age up, make a few friends through elementary and high school. You’ll need them in the challenge’s third task. Having more than one will prepare you for any unexpected losses in friendships.
Become a famous rapper
Once you create a new character born in Los Angeles, it’s time to prepare for your future rap career. Once your character turns 8, head into Activities, Mind and Body, and Voice Lessons to begin taking free singing classes. Your goal is to max this stat as early as possible to land auditions to become a musical artist.
Once your character turns 18 and maxes out their singing skills, head into Occupation, Special Careers, and Musician before auditioning as a Singer Solo Artist. You have three opportunities to do this annually, with your audition performance determining whether you get a contract. If you perform poorly, age up and try again next year.
If you succeed with your audition, you’ll receive a pop-up telling you you’ve been offered an exclusive contract to produce music. If the genre isn’t rap music, turn it down and keep auditioning until it’s a rap singer contract. Accept this to become a rapper.
From here, becoming famous will depend on whether you have the Hollywood Star. If you do, you’ll instantly become famous without releasing a single album. Otherwise, produce music and perform concerts yearly until your character becomes famous if you don’t have the Hollywood Star. It may take a few years, but it’s generally much easier in BitLife’s music industry than with other professions.
Turn a friend into an enemy
Throughout your life, you had the chance to make friends through school and random pop-ups. To make one of them your enemy, head into Relationships, select a friend, and tap their name to find a Change Our Status button. Pick enemies and confirm your choice to knock out this challenge. Your new enemy will now start annoying you occasionally throughout your character’s life, so what you do with them is up to you.
Make millions while going on tour
Shortly after you become a rapper, you’ll unlock a job menu for this career. Selecting this through your job menu will show options such as making a new album, putting on a live concert, and practicing your skills. For this task, select Tour after raising your fame and popularity to embark on a World Tour. You can do this once a year, netting you money that scales with your popularity. Embark on these tours each year until you have one that rewards you with $1 milliom in net earnings.
Have three records go platinum
The fifth task of BitLife’s Unlike Us challenge is the most difficult to complete. Your goal is to have at least three records—Singles or Albums—go platinum. This goal is almost completely random, with factors like your genre, cover art, and random event response slightly contributing to your success.
To put this into perspective, my character’s first album went double platinum instantly. I chose hip-hop as my genre, a black and white image of my character as the cover art, and picked a random name for the album. I used a similar strategy the following year and didn’t even hit gold.
There’s some randomness to it, and it’s mostly a matter of persistence and determination to hit three platinum records. Fortunately, even records that were previously Gold or Diamond can reach platinum in later years as you become more popular, so don’t stress if you go several decades with only one or two.
Once you become a famous rapper with three platinum records and a friend-turned-enemy, you’ll complete BitLife’s Unlike Us challenge and receive a random cosmetic prize for future characters.
