People might tell you some tricks to overcome stage fright, but the real thing is this: know that you're prepared. Know that you have a good backing track, that the sound system is going to sound good and that you have a solid rhyme that you've practiced. Once you KNOW you're ready for it, you can do it.
You can also try to find some open mics or battles, but that's make-or-break. It might give you more confidence, but it also might make you quit. You take your chances with battles.
Best way is to prepare and practice. Practice until you're spitting your rhymes while you're asleep. After that, nothing can stop you.

Whatever you do DO NOT resort to drink and drugs to overcome nerves! Resort instead to Yoga, meditation, and especially to deep breaths before you perform ; between raps when you perform ; and after. Popular musicians often - no almost always - get no preparation for stage fright at all. I am quite certain that this, and not the "wild life style" is why so many of them resort to drink and drugs: to calm their nerves. And they are well on the way to addiction then.

start by making videos of yourself rapping. As you show them to people and get positive reactions, you will gain confidence to do it live.

Keep practicing and go sing at karokee every now and then.If you do you should get over your fear of singing in public.The more you do something (singing) the more comfortable you will feel.
