One-take video mission: this is the first mission of the show, the contestants have to create a music video for a song with their own lyrics and the video is mostly filmed in one unedited take. After that, they choose the worst contestant and the one choosen is excluded from the next mission;
Diss Battles: one-on-one rap battles where the contestants put one another down through diss rap, where they fight for a title track produced by some famous producer/rapper.
