Iconic 'Show Me The Money' Round 1 Raps

Posted by Yeom-My24 pts Friday, November 11, 2022

The eleventh season of the rap audition survival program "Show Me The Money" is underway, and it's already exciting to see all the contestants and rappers showing off their swag! It's crazy to believe that it's already the eleventh season, and K-hip-hop has definitely evolved and come a long way since then.

Show Me The Money really opened the eyes of the public about the genre of hip-hop, and it's so nice to see that it is becoming more and more mainstream. To pay tribute to the eleventh season, we are going to take a look back and see some of the most iconic Round 1 rap -- this is the round where you are pretty much first discovered, and the talent will be displayed here. So, let's see which contestants were completely sensational in round 1, and you'll maybe even see some stars that are big in the Korean hip-hop world today!



Season 5 - BewhY

BewhY ultimately ended up winning the season and has a huge presence in the Korean hip-hop scene today, but his first-round rap was so iconic, and he was at the center of attention just by this one round.

Season 4 - MINO

Our favorite multi-talented artist MINO showcased his rapping skills on Season 4, and he was absolutely crazy! He completely got rid of the stereotype that idol rappers aren't real rappers.

Season 5 - MC Minji

MC Minji, aka Jung Jun Ha, made his rap debut on season 5 of SMTM as well. Judged by Simon Dominic, Jung Junha had absolutely no fear in showing his rap skills, portraying that he can do more than just entertain!

Season 10 - Mudd the Student

The most recent season had some very unique participants, but no one can beat the uniqueness other than Mudd the Student. Placing in the TOP 4, Mudd showed a whole new side of Korean hip-hop that was quite refreshing.

Season 11 - Lee Young Ji

Fans already knew Youngji was a great rapper but did they know that she was this good? People may have had their doubts, but she completely killed the first round impressing the judges. She truly is one-of-a-kind.

Season 9 - Mushvenom

Talk about some dialect rap - this felt like a trot subgenre of rap. It portrayed that rap isn't one-dimensional and you can really do it however you want! 

Season 6 - Woo Won Jae

Woo Won Jae had a voice of his own, and it is so amazing the way he can rap with his unique rap style! 

What are your thoughts on this list? The eleven seasons of this great audition program have revealed so much talent in the Korean hip-hop world, and it's crazy to think that there are even more out there. Season 11 is already exciting, with plenty of talent going around, and we're already excited to see who will get the first-place crown! What was your favorite Round 1 rap?

At the moment I am studying to be a lawyer and I believe that this profession will bring me a lot of income in the future. In the meantime, I'm playing on the website to earn pocket money because it's one of the best online casinos that makes me money. I think you will be interested too.
