Ways to battle

Random battle

Live now

Pick Open (any style) or a genre, choose a beat from your library, and hit Find an opponent.

  • ▸ If a producer is already waiting for the same kind of battle, you're matched instantly and the battle goes live.
  • ▸ If not, your battle waits in the pool on the Battles page, where any producer can tap Battle them.
  • ▸ Genre battles are same-genre only: the beat you battle with must be that genre.
  • ▸ Switch it up: a beat that battled can't battle again for 30 days.
  • ▸ No opponent in 3 days? It's removed and your credits come back.

How battles are decided

Voting

  • ▸ Listen to both beats, then score each one on Mix, Creativity and Arrangement (1 to 10 each) and press Vote.
  • ▸ One vote per account per battle. You can't vote in your own battle.
  • ▸ A verified email is required to vote.
  • ▸ Who you voted for is never shown publicly.

Results

  • ▸ When voting closes, the producer more voters picked wins. Your higher total is your pick, and you can't score both the same. No draws: points only break an even vote.
  • ▸ No battle ends with fewer than 3 votes. Voting stays open until it has them, then RocBattle staff close the battle and post the results.
  • ▸ Mercy rule: if a producer falls behind by 5 or more votes, staff can close the battle early.
  • ▸ Both producers are notified with the result and the vote split.

Honest voters ⭐

Voters who vote consistently and fairly across the arena earn the gold star. It shows next to their name in every vote tally, so the community knows whose votes it can rely on.

Earn it

  • ▸ 10 or more counted votes
  • ▸ Picks for at least 5 different producers
  • ▸ Account at least 7 days old
  • ▸ No hate votes, boost votes or held votes in the last 30 days

Lose it

  • ▸ Hate vote: scoring a producer far below what everyone else heard
  • ▸ Boost vote: scoring a producer far above what everyone else heard
  • ▸ A vote held by our integrity checks
  • ▸ Staff can remove it for anything that hurts fair voting

Vote fair for 30 days and it comes back on its own (unless staff removed it).

Battle credits

Credits keep the arena fair: if you want to battle, you help vote. Battlers and voters are the same community.

5
credits per battle

Each producer pays to enter, whether they start the battle or take it.

1
credit per vote

Vote on any battle to earn. Five votes = one battle.

5
credits every month

Everyone starts with 5 and resets to 5 on the 1st.

2 / 15
at once / per month

Keeps monthly rankings fair, so producers who start mid-month can still catch up.

Credits have no cash value. Unmatched or declined battles refund your credits. Up to 20 battles are live at once so every battle gets votes; extra battles wait "up next".

Ways to earn & get heard

Your profile & beat library

Live now

Your public profile is your home base: battle record, division, links, and the beats you choose to show. Every beat has a waveform player, Beat Plays, Certified Streams, likes and timeline comments, so you can see what is connecting.

Share & build your fanbase

Live now

Every beat has a share button, and your profile link (rocbattle.com/yourname) works anywhere: Instagram, X, Facebook, WhatsApp, text. New people who open your link and join as artists or fans become Your Artists and Your Fanbase for good, and their streams pay you more every month.
