Rap 4 Me is Riviir’s second single pack, which was released on August 1st, 2025. It aims to be his first mainstream single. The single features The Game and is accompanied by another single, Kochi, which also features The Game. Both songs are produced by Riviir himself and reminiscent of the nostalgic east coast 2000’s Hip-Hop.
Riviir composed the instrumental for Rap 4 Me in April of 2025. He initially wanted to create a LoFi Hip-Hop beat to give the song a rather chill essence. Riviir was playing around with different chords, meanwhile recording his musical arrangements, but nothing was materializing the way that he had envisioned it.

After each failed attempt, Riviir would then delete the entire
session and start over again. After one of his failed sessions, he was about to delete the composition, but he fell in love with the strings and thought that he could use the strings for another beat at a later date, so he deleted all of the instruments except for the strings.

Riviir then placed the Rap 4 Me project on pause and then went on to create other instrumentals for other projects. Several weeks had passed, and Riviir came up with an idea to transform his Rap 4 Me project to a more high-tempo record with soulful melodic background vocals, but he did not want to use any sampled music, as he was trying to avoid unnecessary paperwork.
Riviir then located the strings that he had saved from his prior composition, he recorded the soulful background vocals himself and filtered it to make it sound like the vocals of a female, added the bass, drums, snare drums, and other instruments.

He then proceeded to write and record the first and third verse, then sent the record to The Game along with the Kochi record and another record for him to write and record his verse for each track.
