BBC Three - The Rap Game UK, Series 1, Episode 4

DJ Target, Krept and Konan raise the stakes for their artists.

DJ Target, Krept and Konan raise the stakes for their young artists as they work with Jae 5 and perform live for Lady Leshurr.

This week’s theme is production and performance.

In Challenge One, DJ Target, Krept and Konan give the young artists the opportunity of a lifetime: making a beat with super producer Jae 5. With the clock ticking, who can be clear, concise and collaborative and use their studio time most effectively? Kiico gambles that his new sound will impress Krept and Konan, but will it pay off? And how do the other artists feel about him switching things up?

In Challenge Two, the artists must showcase their new track in front of Lady Leshurr and a local Birmingham crowd to hone their live game. Energy, stage presence and audience chat is key, so which artists will win over these would-be fans? And which will fail to set the room alight?
