BBC Three - The Rap Game UK, Series 1, Episode 5

DJ Target, Krept and Konan assess the marketability of the remaining artists.

DJ Target, Krept and Konan ask UK rap scene influencers to critique the remaining artists, who are then sent home to film a music video. 

As the show races towards the closing stages of the competition, DJ Target, Krept and Konan decide to evaluate the marketability of the remaining artists by reviewing their socials and visuals.  

They kick things off in challenge one by calling together some of the culture's biggest online influencers, including Harry Pinero and Remel London, to serve-up some raw and honest feedback. Online presence, lyrics, personalities and sense of style are all under the microscope, but can the artists handle the pure, unadulterated truth? 

Challenge two takes us all across the country, as each of the artists is paired-up with an esteemed video director, including Rick Frost, Lolly and Risky Roadz, and sent back to their home towns to shoot a music video. Can they impress special guest Matt Walker with their concepts? And how do the artists handle returning home where homelessness, frustration and some much-missed friends and family await them?
