First runner-up: Jessi (former Lucky J member)
Second runner-up: Yuk Ji-dam (SMTM3 contestant, Unpretty Rapstar 3 contestant)
Semi-finalists:

  • Jace of Miss $ (Joined in episode 4, eliminated in episode 6)
  • Lil Cham (Eliminated in episode 4)
  • Self-introduction through a cypher

    An ice-breaker where all contestants and the host do a rap for their self-introduction, using the same beat. The rappers are allowed to initiate or respond to pre-game diss battles.

    One-take video mission

    The first mission in all seasons of Unpretty Rapstar was contestants collaborating with judges, producers, and fellow contestants to create an music video for an original rap song. The video is mostly filmed in one unedited take, and the rappers must also write and arrange the song. After the filming of the music video for the song is complete, the rappers vote for who did the best and worst, in a fully disclosed process. The winner of the mission receives an advantage for the next challenge or the next part of the track missions. Whoever is voted last by their fellow rappers receives a penalty of being excluded from the next mission, or from the song that was produced through the one-take mission.

    Diss Battles

    A series of one-on-one rap battles where the contestants put one another down through diss rap. Unlike rap battles in Show Me the Money, these are closed events with no MCs.
