A roundup of commercials featuring rap. Spotlight on the rhymes of rappers and actors.

Starting with the boom in freestyle battles, hip-hop has been drawing renewed attention in the music scene in recent years.

The influence of hip-hop has spread into all sorts of arenas, and lately more and more companies have been incorporating rap into their commercials.

In these rap-infused ads, some feature actors doing the vocals, while others actually have real rappers performing—something hip-hop fans in particular are probably keeping an eye on.

In this article, we’ll introduce a bunch of commercials that incorporate rap all at once!

Which one is the dopest and coolest? Be sure to judge for yourself.

Compilation of commercials featuring rap: spotlight on rhymes by rappers and actors (1–10)

Delta Kogyo: “Development vs. Manufacturing Rap Battle”2-EIGHT,DRIBBLA

Delta Kogyo: “Development vs. Manufacturing Rap Battle”

The commercial “Delta Kogyo: Development vs.

Manufacturing Rap Battle” features rapper 2-EIGHT and reggae deejay DRIBBLA.

Although DRIBBLA is a deejay, he’s also skilled at rapping, and in this spot he delivers bars in an MC battle format.

The rap channels the friction between the development and manufacturing departments into an MC battle, and the content ends up feeling oddly realistic.

Since both artists often deliver lyrics as real as in this commercial, be sure to check out their tracks too!

Snickers: “HIPHOP Snickers – Ryofu Karma” VersionRyofu Karma

Lu Fu Karma Snickers commercial

Rhyme-karma (Ryofu Karuma), who dominates not only MC battles with his overwhelming punchlines but also shines in the media, is incredibly active on YouTube too, so I think most young people know him.

Speaking of his commercials, it’s got to be this Snickers one! He’s not stacking dense rhymes, but his punchlines are alive and well even in the ad.

Plus, the flow is neatly put together and pleasant to the ear.

That’s Ryofu Karuma for you.

Kobe Women’s University “Shinjo Creed” EditionAkko Gorilla

Rapper Akkogorilla lays down an up-tempo rap! Kobe Women's University commercial

Female rapper Akko Gorilla, known for her eccentric fashion and powerful messaging, has been gaining popularity.

At first she was treated as something of a novelty act, but in recent years her rap skills have sharpened and she’s earned high praise for her musicality as well.

A commercial where you can really savor her rap is Kobe Women’s University’s “Creed of Shinjo” spot.

While it firmly retains traces of her signature funky rap style, it also prominently showcases her technical side—for instance, by dropping into high-speed flows in certain parts.

Yuriyan Retriever shows a daring plunging neckline and performs a cool rap in new SPOOX commercial

The cool rapper featured in the commercial for SPOOX, the video streaming service released by SKY PerfecTV!, is the comedian Yuriyan Retriever.

She’s always been good at music-themed bits, but we’ve never really seen her with such a cool image before.

A lot of people probably didn’t realize it was her when they saw the ad.

In the rap, Yuriyan Retriever drops lyrics that rhyme using long product names like “Value Plan Powered by Hikari TV.” If you listen closely, there are some slyly funny lines mixed in, so check it out if you’re curious!

NURO “Don’t stop the excitement.” Monologue version 30 seconds

Chanmina’s “FLIP FLAP,” released in 2026, is a track chosen as the CM song for NURO under the theme “Don’t stop the emotion.” It gives the impression of dance music with a striking, tension-filled beat, conveying a powerful energy that seems to break through adversity.

Her layered vocals are also powerful, expressing unwavering determination to keep moving forward throughout.

The commercial features Chanmina speaking about her feelings toward music, depicting how emotion is born from those feelings.

In the RIZE Clinic commercial “Rap,” specializing in medical hair removal, a cool track produced by Shoji It is paired with a rap by Namichie.

The song was written specifically for this commercial, with lyrics that deftly rhyme while talking about hair removal.

Namichie is a solo female rapper known for her deep vocal tone, and Shoji It is a rapper and trackmaker from the hip-hop unit Dos Monos.

If this original song for the commercial caught your interest, be sure to check out their individual tracks as well.

MODE Gakuen “Singing Asura Aeon” VersionChinza DOPENESS

Mode Gakuen – 2011 CM

The rapper Chinza DOPENESS, who earns props from many heads with his overwhelming flow, has also appeared in a commercial in the past.

That would be Mode Gakuen’s “Singing Asura Ion” spot.

In fact, this piece aired back in 2011—before the current hip-hop boom arrived.

Choosing Chinza DOPENESS at a time when he was still active mainly in the underground really shows Mode Gakuen’s foresight.

The original track is a piece called “MODE,” centered on his signature soulful, freaky flow.

Also noteworthy is its incisive, straight-to-the-core message that speaks to those living out their youth!
