Rap Jam: Volume One is a basketball video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, developed by American studio 64WD Creation, in which the players are rap and hip-hop artists.[3] The game is played on an urban basketball court, with fisticuffs and no foul calls. There is an exhibition mode and a tournament mode.

The game was released in January 1995. Despite the Volume One moniker, this was the only installment released. It is also the second and final game to be developed by Motown Software.
