Rap Jam: Volume One is a surreal, three-on-three street basketball game developed by MotivTime. Blending hip-hop culture with arcade sports action, the game features a bizarre roster of playable characters modeled after real-life 1990s hip-hop artists, artists, and public figures (including Coolio, LL Cool J, Queen Latifah, Public Enemy, and Warren G) facing off in gritty urban asphalt tournaments.
