Rap Game first look as show’s HUGE twist is revealed ahead of new series
THE highly anticipated new season of The Rap Game UK is gearing up to hit screens and a game changing twist is set to shake things up like never before.
With a fresh new line-up, intense challenges and unexpected surprises, this season promises to be one of the shows most thrilling yet.
The hit BBC show will return to screens on November 5th and will see judges Krept, Konan and DJ Target search for the UK’s next big rap star.
The Rap Game sees emerging artists compete for a cash prize and the help to launch their music careers.
In the clip ahead of the new series,this years contestants will have to perform a 16-bar challenge.
But this time around, instead of the judges voting for one of them to leave, it will be the competitors themselves.
The shock twist blindsides the rappers, who will now have to battle it out in the 24-hour time frame so that they don’t become one of the first contestants to be sent packing.
The new season is set for a host of twist and turns and, for the first time in the show’s history, contestants will perform on stage at a major UK music festival – marking a bold new milestone for the competition.
Previously speaking to The Sun, DJ Target revealed: “There is a moment where the guys, for the first time ever we take them to one of the major UK festivals.
“Tthey perform on stage as one of the challenges and that, like for me, I had goosebumps at the time because it was like, we’ve never done it before and they absolutely smashed it.
“You have to watch it to really grasp it – but yeah, that’s one of the many things that we’ve done this year that we haven’t incorporated in the past.
“We’ve obviously done live performances or performance to an audience before but this year, we’re just like, well, let’s go for bigger and better,” he continued.
The Radio 1Xtra host also gave a sneak peek into what fans can expect from this year’s contest.
“This year is going to be one of those seasons where we might find a real superstar. This year we wanted to kind of lean more into the artistry and the creativity of the artists. We have done this five times over now.
“We know that, you know, rappers can come on the show and maybe be able to write some bars to a challenge and deliver those bars. Great. That’s amazing. Don’t get me wrong, not taking away from that.
“But now we want to see what’s behind the rap challenge. Is there an artist behind there? Is there somebody who we can leave in the studio and they can come up with a smash record?
So, yeah, we find out from the very beginning there’s some serious talent in this competition and I don’t want to give away too much. I don’t want to ruin it.
