Niska, Shay and SCH head to their Paris, Brussels and Marseille hoods to connect with local legends and unearth raw talents. Who's ready to represent?

At SCH's Marseille mansion, nerves threaten a fiery rap for Jul. A contender inspires Shay. Niska and Guy2BezBar take in a talent and an iconic view.

Let the games begin. Local MCs, along with fresh faces, make the leap to their most important stage to date — in Paris in front of all three judges.

A freestyle bout pushes the lyricists to show their technique, flow and depth, with assists from Dinos and Doria. Only 10 emerge to rhyme another day.

After tough cuts, the rappers prep to battle one-on-one, with help from Youssoupha. Who will deliver the wit, wordplay and rage to survive this round?

The battles end with a bang. Next, the six hip-hop hopefuls work with production teams to bring their artistic visions to life with music videos.

Victory tastes sweet for a final four going into the playoffs. Now they must turn it up and hold their own onstage with Gradur, Hamza, Naza and Zola.
