Developed by 4mm Games, Terminal Reality and Def Jam Interactive, Def Jam Rapstar is the first true interactive Hip Hop music game experience for consoles and focuses exclusively on Hip Hop, you and your social networks.

“Today is a special day for hip hop, gaming, and the music business. With the release of Def Jam Rapstar and the launch of our social networking platform at defjamrapstar.com, fans will have access to the most unique hip hop gaming experience ever created,” stated Kevin Liles, President and CEO of Def Jam Enterprises. “Def Jam Rapstar enables you to party with your friends, express yourself with your favorite rap artists, and offers you a ticket to the biggest stage in the world. The music-based gaming business had a clear void with no product speaking directly to fans of Hip Hop. Def Jam Rapstar is the answer.”

"KONAMI is enormously proud to be involved with such a cutting edge title," added Kunio Neo, President of Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. "As befits a musical genre that constantly evolves and adapts, Def Jam Rapstar is a game that allows the player to grow and change as an artist, using the feedback of their peers to refine their skills and improve their performance. We are very excited to be partnering 4mm with such an exciting title."
