The second season of Netflix’s “Rhythm + Flow” has finally set its premiere date. On Friday (October 18), the streaming platform revealed that the hip-hop competition series, returning to Atlanta for its sophomore season, will debut on November 20.
In the newly released trailer, judges Latto, DJ Khaled, and Ludacris voiced their aspirations for the contestants who will be vying against each other. “I’m in search of the complete package. I want someone who can thrive in this new age,” expressed the “Brokey” rapper.
“I’m here to find something extraordinary,” Khaled chimed in. Among the guest judges will be Big Sean, Remy Ma, Busta Rhymes, and GloRilla, to name a few. As previously reported by Rap-Up, Eminem is also anticipated to participate in the “Battle Round” segment.
“We are elevating the show with a fresh lineup of international music stars in our judges and a new selection of hidden talents,” noted Brandon Riegg, Netflix’s Vice President of Nonfiction Series, earlier this year. “Hip-hop is constantly evolving, so it will be exciting to witness Ludacris, Latto, and DJ Khaled guiding contestants throughout their journeys, along with iconic guest judges like Eminem sharing their unique perspectives and advice.”
Executive producers Jesse Collins and Dionne Harmon remarked, “This season showcases a dynamic panel of judges, each with a distinctive and impactful presence in Hip Hop culture. In this pivotal moment for the genre, the focus extends far beyond just the music.”
The inaugural season of “Rhythm + Flow” launched in 2019, with Cardi B, Chance the Rapper, and T.I. serving as judges. The “Last Supper” star D Smoke ultimately claimed the $250,000 cash prize.
Latto’s Sugar Honey Iced Tea hit the airwaves in August, featuring collaborations with Hunxho, Teezo Touchdown, Ciara, Mariah the Scientist, and more. Meanwhile, DJ Khaled is hard at work on his forthcoming album, TIL NEXT TIME.
