An audition program focusing on hip-hop. The program announces its application date through social media channels, and applicants are required to submit their auditions via YouTube videos, showcasing their rap skills online.
Stage 1: Preliminary Round - High school students from each of the six regional areas participate in solo performances. Mentors score each performance, determining whether the student advances or is eliminated. Students are expected to memorize their lyrics, perform without mistakes, and deliver their best performance.
Stage 2: Cypher Battle - Students who receive similar scores engage in cypher battles, competing against students from other regional schools of the same grade level (e.g., freshmen versus freshmen). Participants perform under randomly selected beats, improvising lyrics for their rap.
Stage 3: 1 vs 1 - Students engage in one-on-one rap battles. Mentors determine the winner, and the loser is eliminated from the competition.
Final: The Final Stage Performance - Remaining students collaborate on a performance using a beat provided by the mentor. Students also have the option to feature another performer of their choice, provided both parties agree.[4]
