Singing a specific genre in BitLife is more challenging than you’d expect. Pursuing a music career is already difficult, with the bonus of relying on RNG to find the exact genre you need. There’s some luck involved, but we have a few tips to make the search easier.
How to become a rapper in BitLife
Becoming a rapper in BitLife requires purchasing the game’s musician special career pack. You can buy it for real money through BitLife’s ingame marketplace or pick up Boss Mode, letting you obtain all current and future job packs. Owning the musician pack enables you to train your singing skills and audition to become a singer, giving you a chance to become a rapper. It’s impossible to do this without the pack.
If you own the musician special career pack, you’ll find a Musician job option under Occupation and Special Careers. Here, you can audition to join a band or become a solo artist. Although rap bands exist, you’ll usually find it easier as a solo artist.
However, not just anyone can become a professional singer. First, you’ll need to take singing classes by heading into Activities, Mind and Body, and Voice Lessons. If your character is a child or teenager, you can take them for free with permission from your character’s parents. These classes will raise your skills, with around 90-100 percent mastery required to pass your solo artist auditions.
To make things easier, you can start on a new character who has a music special talent. You’ll find this on the character creator menu, making it easier to progress in randomized instruments. Having this talent doesn’t guarantee you’ll have an easier time with singing, specifically due to its random nature. To offset this, you can remake characters until you notice one that gets massive skill buffs per lesson. This strategy is entirely optional, but it can help if you don’t want to take a ton of voice lessons or plan on mastering other instruments later.
Once you master singing, head into the Musician special career tab and apply to be a singing solo artist. If you don’t succeed right away, age up and try again next year. After passing an audition, you’ll get an offer to sign an exclusive contract listing the genre, cash advance, royalty rate, and term. If the genre isn’t rap, turn it down and keep going until rap appears. Signing the contract will officially make you a rapper in BitLife.
How to become famous in BitLife
Now that you’re officially a professional rapper, it’s time to become famous. You have two options: use the Hollywood Star to become famous instantly or work your way up to stardom.

If you have the Hollywood Star, you can instantly become famous in any job that has fame. At most, it’ll take you aging up once or creating an album for it to activate. However, you need to buy this item from BitLife’s marketplace for real money.
Alternatively, you can work hard as a rapper until you become famous. Generally speaking, performing concerts and creating albums for a few years is enough to make you famous. As long as you increase your popularity over time, you’ll eventually receive a “you are officially a famous rapper” notification, unlocking exclusive fame options through your Activities list.
