Season 2 2020

DJ Target, Krept and Konan start the search for a new British rap star. Six artists perform a capella before rapping about a key moment in their life to guest mentor Rapman.

The six artists are tested on the key MC skills of collaborating and clashing. DJ Target, Krept and Konan pair off the artists in duos to prove they can work together. Special guests Young T and Bugsey offer their experience and guidance. Can Graft and Micahh show they have the skill to remain in the competition, or will it be the end of the road for one of these MCs?

Then the tables are turned, as each artist must take on their collaborator in an epic clash. Nothing is off-limits as the artists battle to prove they will do whatever it takes to land the record deal.

With special guest Yungen.

In EP3, DJ Target, Krept & Konan set more tests for the artists. First, they must write under pressure before rapping about an issue they care about. Guests: D Double E & JME.

Two new challenges test the artists’ skills further - penning a club banger and performing with an orchestra. Hook King Deno visits the artists to mentor them on making a catchy song, then under the watchful eye of DJ Target, Krept and Konan, the artists must perform their club tunes to Ms Banks, who is listening from another room and judging their tracks on sound alone. Will any of the artists’ anthems get the seal of approval from queen of club bangers?

In challenge two, the artists dig deep to write about a surprising topic from their past. On performance day, Krept, Konan and Target deliver a shock surprise - the backing of a full orchestra. Can the artists rise to the occasion, or will they be drowned out by the power of the instruments?

Wretch 32 also guests.

Krept, Konan and Target set new tests for the artists with guests The Fanatix and Aitch.

Krept, Konan and Target set the final challenges with 1Xtra's Kenny Allstar.
