The BTS Rap line has had great collaborations that have been hits all over the world. Recently Suga added another Collab to his belt when he collaborated with MAX on the Song Blueberry Eyes which already has 9.3 million views and 1.4 million likes. The Rap line just like the vocal line of BTS have a hand in the lyrics for the songs and Albums that the band produces. RM is so far the rapper with the most collaborations. Their wide, vast and various collaborations just goes to show how versatile the artists are in music and how music connects everyone regardless of language or location or genre.

When BTS’ rap line — RM, SUGA, and j-hope — step into the spotlight, they bring with them fire verses, jaw-dropping lyricism, and unparalleled charisma. Separately, they’ve taken the global music scene by storm with solo projects, but it’s their collaborations with artists across genres that have created some of the most bop-worthy moments in K-pop and beyond.

From gritty hip-hop anthems to genre-defying tracks, here are the BTS rap line collabs that live rent-free in our minds — and in every playlist we own.

RM x Wale – “Change” (2017)

Back in 2017, RM joined forces with American rapper Wale to create “Change,” a bilingual track tackling social issues and personal struggles. The song combines Wale’s politically-charged verses with RM’s introspective Korean lyrics, creating a conversation that transcends borders.

What makes “Change” a standout is its raw energy and the seamless fusion of two distinct rap styles. RM’s fluency and flow matched Wale’s intensity, proving that language is no barrier when the message is universal.

🎧 Best line: “Notorious big or small / You might hate me but you know / Respect you got to give me the ball”

SUGA (as Agust D) x IU – “eight” (2020)

Okay, technically this is IU’s track, but with SUGA producing and featuring on it, “eight” became an instant masterpiece. The blend of IU’s ethereal vocals and Agust D’s introspective verse made the song feel like a melancholic hug. It’s nostalgic, haunting, and soothing all at once.

SUGA’s production captures the bittersweet essence of growing up and letting go, while his rap verse brings emotional depth without overpowering IU’s light.

🎧 Best moment: That seamless shift from IU’s chorus to SUGA’s verse, like a memory taking shape.

j-hope x Becky G – “Chicken Noodle Soup” (2019)

You want vibes? You get vibes. j-hope and Becky G’s “Chicken Noodle Soup” was a full-on celebration of culture, dance, and fun. Sampling the 2006 classic by Webstar and Young B, this collab turned into a viral sensation with a TikTok-ready choreo challenge and trilingual lyrics (Korean, Spanish, English).

It’s j-hope’s sunshine energy and confidence that sells the whole track. His delivery is slick, infectious, and just so him. Add Becky G’s fiery verse and you’ve got an international bop that’s impossible to ignore.

🎧 Best line: “Did it for the culture / Gotta rep the globe”

SUGA x MAX – “Blueberry Eyes” (2020)

MAX’s “Blueberry Eyes” is sugary-sweet on its own, but SUGA’s feature elevates it to another level. He brings contrast — his smooth Korean verse adds emotion, poetry, and a dash of swag.

What’s extra adorable is SUGA’s cameo in the music video, making hearts melt worldwide. “Blueberry Eyes” isn’t just catchy — it’s the perfect example of how opposites attract in music.

🎧 Best part: The way MAX and SUGA blend their worlds sonically and visually.

RM x Lil Nas X – “Seoul Town Road” (2019)

Yes, this happened. RM jumped on the remix of Lil Nas X’s viral hit “Old Town Road,” and made it Korean cowboy official. “Seoul Town Road” was a tongue-in-cheek flex that showed RM’s playful side.

His verse is witty and laced with Korean culture references, making it a fun spin on the Western anthem. While it may have started as a meme collab, RM made it feel entirely his own.

🎧 Best line: “Homis in the back / Cornrows in my hat”

j-hope x J. Cole – “on the street” (2023)

This was monumental. j-hope, who has cited J. Cole as a lifelong inspiration, finally got to collaborate with him on “on the street.” A lo-fi, heartfelt track, it’s more of a love letter than a flex. It’s about growth, dreams, and gratitude.

The sincerity in j-hope’s lyrics pairs beautifully with Cole’s reflective verse. Their styles are different, but the mutual respect is palpable — and that’s what makes it gold.

🎧 Best moment: j-hope whistling down a New York street, symbolic and full-circle.

Agust D x Halsey – “SUGA’s Interlude” (2019)

If you ever needed a song to cry to at 3 a.m., here it is. “SUGA’s Interlude” from Halsey’s album Manic is minimalistic yet powerful. Halsey’s delicate vocals meet SUGA’s somber musings on fame, purpose, and life’s unpredictability.

It’s raw, unfiltered emotion in the form of a pop-ballad-meets-hip-hop hybrid. The honesty in SUGA’s Korean verses hits hard — even if you don’t speak the language, you feel it.

🎧 Best line: “I want to be the comfort / And I want to take the pain away”

RM x Balming Tiger – “SEXY NUKIM” (2022)

Experimental. Iconic. Weird in the best way. “SEXY NUKIM” by Balming Tiger featuring RM is an audio trip — hypnotic beats, bizarre visuals, and a killer verse by RM that oozes self-awareness and style.

The song is a celebration of individuality and not taking yourself too seriously. RM fits right in with the alt-hip-hop crew, showing his versatility yet again.

🎧 Best line: “The world is wide, but I know that I’m the best me”

SUGA (as Agust D) x Ryuichi Sakamoto and WOOSUNG – “Snooze” (2023)

From his D-DAY album, “Snooze” is a heartfelt tribute featuring the legendary Ryuichi Sakamoto and The Rose’s WOOSUNG. This track is emotionally charged, offering comfort to young artists and fans alike.

SUGA’s lyrics are protective, almost fatherly. The orchestration is cinematic. It’s not just a collab; it’s a legacy piece. Knowing it was one of Sakamoto’s final projects makes it all the more powerful.

🎧 Best moment: The instrumental bridge that feels like a soft embrace.

All Three on BTS Projects – “Ddaeng” (2018)

We can’t forget when the holy trinity of the BTS rap line came together for “Ddaeng” — a diss track served cold during BTS Festa. With traditional Korean instrumentals and clever wordplay, RM, SUGA, and j-hope flexed their skills unapologetically.

It was cheeky, brilliant, and full of inside jokes that longtime ARMY still quote to this day. The way each member owned their verse while keeping the energy unified? Chef’s kiss.

🎧 Best line: All of them

The BTS rap line isn’t just about spitting bars — it’s about storytelling, connection, and boundary-pushing artistry. Whether it’s RM’s thoughtful introspection, SUGA’s poetic grit, or j-hope’s radiant charisma, their collaborations never miss. These tracks not only spotlight their versatility, but also show their willingness to explore, grow, and share their stage with others.

And honestly? We can’t get enough

J-HOPE
