15 Rap Songs to Play If the Rapture Really Hits

TikTok timelines are wild right now thanks to #RaptureTok. A viral prophecy from South African pastor Joshua Mhlakela claims the rapture could arrive September 23-24. Some people are bracing for the end, others are cracking jokes, and everyone’s scrolling nonstop for takes.
