SIGNED: Rap & Music Career Sim

A rap and music career simulator: you have three years to make it in the music business. Record songs, sign deals and play every show as a rhythm game. Some deals will eat you alive. Read the fine print.

Your artist
- Pick a stage name, a look and a genre: Hip-Hop, Trap, R&B, Pop or Afrobeats
- Start in your mom's spare room with a laptop, a cheap mic and Unc Lenny, a 90s legend who still doesn't own his gold record

One week at a time
- 156 weeks. Spend your energy on moves, then hit Next week and see what happened
- More than 100 story events: copyright claims, sample lawsuits, diss tracks, award nominations and more

Studio and stage
- Record in four studios on a free, leased, exclusive or custom beat. Each one has a catch.
- Lock in your takes in a recording mini-game, then release singles, EPs and albums
- Perform live as a rhythm game: tap on the beat and go for an S rating
- Climb from an open mic to a 55,000-seat stadium, sell merch and book tours

The biz
- Offers from indie labels, majors, publishers, managers, agents and brands
- Masters in perpetuity, 360 clauses, recoupable costs, options: it's all in the fine print
- Hire a lawyer, then negotiate for a bigger advance, more points or no 360
- Read your weekly statement to see who got paid before you did

Money and lifestyle
- Rent every week, commissions off the top, taxes every spring and interest on your card. Max out the card and you're broke: back to your mom's spare room, or career over.
- Upgrade to a penthouse or a mansion, lease an exotic and put your crew on. It all costs every week.
- Get a final report on who really got your money, then keep going in endless mode

Unc's Playbook
28 plain-English lessons on how the business works: recoupment, masters, 360 deals, publishing splits, royalties, sample clearance, tour math, taxes and more.

Expansions (one-time purchases)
- World Tour: play London, Lagos, Tokyo, Paris, Toronto and more
- Beat Empire: make and sell beats, and pitch songs to TV, film and games
- Label Boss: start your own label, sign artists and write the deals yourself
- Complete Collection: all three in one purchase

Diamonds
Earn diamonds from the daily drop, achievements and Playbook lessons, or buy diamond packs. Spend them on power-ups and stage drip. The Starter Pack is a one-time bundle of 300 diamonds, an outfit, a Gold Mic and a home studio upgrade. Diamonds have no cash value.

Optional clips
Tap Watch a clip in the Shop to see a short video ad for 15 diamonds, up to 3 a day. Watch to the end to earn them. Clips only play when you tap, and there are no banner or pop-up ads. Clips are non-personalized unless you turn on Personalized ads in Settings.

Signed Pro (optional)
- Signed Pro Monthly: $9.99 per month, auto-renewing subscription
- Signed Pro Yearly: $79.99 per year, auto-renewing subscription
- Signed Pro Lifetime: $99.99 one-time purchase, does not renew
Each includes +60 bonus diamonds a day (banked on days you don't play), +10 energy recovery every in-game week, and the VIP Velvet fit.
Payment is charged to your Google Play account when you confirm the purchase. Monthly and yearly plans renew and are charged at the start of each period until you cancel. Cancel anytime in the Google Play Store app: go to Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions. If you cancel, Pro lasts until the end of the period you already paid for. Uninstalling doesn't cancel a subscription. Prices are in US dollars and vary by country. Google Play shows your price before you buy.

Good to know
- No account or sign-in. Your career is saved on your device.
- Plays offline. Purchases and clips need a connection.
- SIGNED is a work of fiction. Every artist, label and brand in the story is invented. The Playbook names a few real royalty groups, like ASCAP and BMI, only to explain how they work. It isn't legal or financial advice.
