'Hip Hop Princess' finally lifts the veil on the main producer new song mission.
Today (6th, Thu) at 9:50 p.m. (KST), Mnet's Unpretty Rapstar: Hip Hop Princess (hereinafter "Hip Hop Princess") episode 4 will feature the second track competition, the "main producer new song mission." The producers' directing and the contestants' self-producing come together, raising expectations that an all-time great stage will be born.
This mission is a team competition with four songs participated in by four main producers: Soyeon, Gaeko, Riehata, and Iwata Takanori. Only the winning team will claim the new song, and this time, rather than a Korea-Japan match, a Korea-Japan integrated team composition is expected to offer new synergy. The songs to be released are ▲ "CROWN (Prod. GAN)" ▲ "DAISY (Prod. Gaeko)" ▲ "Diss papa (Prod. Soyeon(i-dle))" ▲ "Hoodie Girls (Prod. Padi, RIEHATA)", and interest is focused on which team will become the owner of the new song release.
In particular, the stage of the "DAISY (Prod. Gaeko)" team, composed of strong performers including the overall No. 1 contestant, is drawing attention even before the broadcast. With the producers' backing and the contestants' self-producing, this stage will include the contestants' candid stories. As they directly express wounds and frustrations in lyrics—such as lack of confidence in visuals and reclusive lifestyles—attention is on whether they can fully blossom their stories through the "DAISY" stage.
The partially revealed preview of the "DAISY" stage promises a legendary performance from the opening with intense performance. It even produced scenes of producers showering praise and a standing ovation. Gaeko lavishly praised, "Can't these five just debut as they are?", further fueling curiosity about the all-time great stage.
Meanwhile, the episode 4 pre-release video introduces the story of "Hoodie Girls" Team A, which faces a split crisis due to communication problems during stage preparation, drawing attention. Contrary to the Korean contestants who want a K-pop vibe, Mirika emphasized a hip-hop feel and opinions diverged. In particular, during a midterm check, when Riehata gave feedback saying, "It's lacking coolness; it would be better to give it a more hip-hop feeling," Mirika sought out Riehata and discussed the team's direction on her own, triggering an explosion of conflict. All eyes are on whether "Hoodie Girls" Team A can overcome this conflict and complete the stage.
Facing the brink of elimination and promising a feast of all-time great performances, "Hip Hop Princess" airs every Thursday at 9:50 p.m. (KST) on Mnet and is available in Japan via U-NEXT.
