At its heart, hip-hop is about the craft. Anyone can grab a mic, diss an opponent, freestyle a rhyme. But if there’s one thing made abundantly clear in Rhythm + Flow, it’s that making a hit takes talent, and above all — hard work. 

After a handful of challenges in the hip-hop/rap competition that tested the contestants against each other, the seven Rhythm + Flow Season 2 semifinalists finally got to show their work, shining on their own for the first time in their true introductions to the judges — and the world.

Then, whittled down to the last round of competitors, the final four worked with awardproducers and hitmakers to bring their visions to life — incorporating visuals and staging with their music. The result is a mosaic of styles, beats, and themes, collectively representing a diverse group of talented artists fighting to impact the world with their voices and stories.
