The artists are put out of their misery as they discover their pairings for the iconic clash challenge.

Guest mentor Nolay helps them prepare as the three clashes are closely fought, with some big twists and even some unexpected wins, with Lethal Bizzle adjudicating.
It's week three of the competition and the battle for top spot intensifies as the artists are tasked with writing a fighting talk track fit for a ring walk, to be performed in front of MMA legend Michael ‘Venom' Page and rapper Unknown T.

As the artists pass the halfway point in the competition, the battle for top spot has just been thrown wide open with some surprise drops in the rankings. They arrive at a disused factory to discover their first challenge will be to write a cypher about fashion, but with far less writing time than usual. With the pressure on, half the artists crumble in what proves to be their toughest challenge yet, with guest mentors rapper Shaybo and supermodel Leomie Anderson critiquing their attempts.
It's the last week before DJ Target, Krept and Konan decide which three will make it through to the final week of the competition.
