The 'Rap from the Abyss' is also a good one. A rapper is lured into an underground rap battle in a derelict building. The opponents seem inhuman, with their lyrics bringing to life dark entities that start to hunt him down as the battle progresses.

Once upon a time in a desolate city, there was a rapper named Shade. He made a deal with a devilish figure for fame. Every night, when he rapped, his lyrics seemed to summon dark spirits.

One day, his own shadow started to move on its own, and it whispered horrifying things to him, driving him insane as he continued to create his dark, twisted rap.
