5Set the round to 30, 45, 60 or 90 seconds to match your format.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the freestyle word wheel?

The freestyle wheel gives you a subject to build on. A battle prompt gives you an angle of attack — both rappers get the same prompt and the round is decided by who does more with it. That changes what you practise: not just filling time, but finding the sharper reading of the same idea before your opponent does.

How long should a battle round be?

Forty-five seconds is the default here because it is long enough for a real exchange and short enough to keep the energy up across several rounds. Traditional battle formats run 60 to 90 seconds per rapper per round; casual practice sits nearer 30. All four are on the preset row.

Do both rappers get the same prompt?

That is the format this is built for — same prompt, back to back, so the comparison is direct. Spin once, first rapper goes, and on the ding the second rapper answers the same angle without re-spinning. Spinning a fresh prompt for each rapper works too, it just becomes a showcase rather than a head-to-head.

Is this for actual battles or just practice?

Mostly practice and casual rounds among friends. Real organised battles have their own formats, judges and prep. What this is genuinely good for is the training that leads there: getting comfortable being handed an angle and having to be sharp about it immediately, with a clock running and people watching.

Can we add our own prompts?

Yes, and for a real session you should. The preset list is intentionally generic so it works between strangers. A crew that knows each other will get far more out of prompts written for that room — inside references, running jokes, the thing everyone knows about someone.
