Black Beatles is a 2016 song by American hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd featuring Gucci Mane, released as a single from their album SremmLife 2. It became a global hit after it was adopted as the unofficial soundtrack to the Mannequin Challenge, a late-2016 viral trend in which people froze like mannequins while a camera moved around them. The song's relaxed chorus and instantly recognisable beat made it ideal for those clips, and its association with the trend has kept it popular in edits, memes and short videos long after its chart run.
