The partnership builds on Rap Fame’s win at the 2026 Yamaha Music Innovation Awards in Japan, where the platform was recognized for its use of technology and feedback to support the next generation of music creators.
“There’s so much talent that deserves to be heard. We want to create real opportunities for emerging artists to reach new audiences and take the next step in their journey. Partnering with Yamaha helps us make that happen in a meaningful way”
“Yamaha has spent more than a century building the tools musicians use to make their ideas real, and Rap Fame has built one of the most active creator communities in hip hop today.
With Level Up, we want to give those artists a clear path from their first bar to a finished track that is actually out in the world - which is exactly what Yamaha Creator Pass was built for. I can’t wait to hear what this community makes with it.”
