15 Rappers Who Passed “Show Me The Money 4″ Brutal Auditions

With new rappers constantly being introduced as
part of the popular show, it almost seems as if just
anyone can become a contestant on Mnet’s rap
show Show Me The Money 4.
However, becoming part of the show isn’t as easy
as it might look with Show Me The Money 4′ s
(hereby SMTM4 ) brutal auditions becoming a hot
topic. Here are 15 rappers who passed the
auditions…and some who didn’t.
1. P-Type is a renowned rapper and a veteran of
the underground rapping world. Working under
BrandNew Music , he’s also known by many as CL ‘s
rap teacher. His latest album Street Poetry was
released earlier this year.
2. Basick is part of hip-hop crew Jiggy Fellaz and
has worked with EXID ‘s LE in the past.
3. Andup started his underground rapping career
in 2008. Since then, he’s worked with the likes of
Geeks and Zico of Block B .
4. Hanhae was a trainee under Stardom
Entertainment before he joined BrandNew Music as
part of PHANTOM . As a former label-mate, he has
been featured in numerous songs in Zico ‘s mix
tapes.
5. Yano is a member of Stardom Entertainment
group Topp Dogg . Formed in 2013 by Cho PD, the
group made their latest release AmadeuS in August
of 2014. Since then, Yano has shown off his rapping
ability with covers and an OST .
6. Kidoh , another member of Stardom
Entertainment’s Topp Dogg, will be competing
against his groupmate Yano as another contestant
on the show.
7. Microdot has worked with rapper Dok2 since
they were both in their teens, as part of a hip-hop
duo called ALLBLACK .
8. Jooheon is part of the upcoming Starship
Entertainment male group MONSTA X . Although the
group has yet to make their debut , Jooheon has
already proven his talent through the survival show
NO.MERCY .
9. Ravi is the main rapper of male idol group VIXX.
The idol member has shown potential as a talented
composer and music producer producing songs such
as “Memory,” “Secret Night,” and “What U Waiting
For.” He showed his competitive side when he
released a diss track in response to iKON’s Bobby .
10. Mino is a part of YG Entertainment group
WINNER. Mino has already proven himself to be
quite the rapper when he made his official debut
as a member of WINNER, and even featured in
Epik High ‘s “Born Hater” as well. Undoubtedly,
Mino has a lot of pressure on his shoulders now
since fellow YG Entertainment artist Bobby won
the previous season.
11. Jucy, who is part of Stardom Entertainment
group EvoL , is returning to the Show Me The Money
this season. Jucy first appeared as a contestant in
the second season aired in 2013 but was eliminated
early in the competition.
12. Jaewon is part of rookie hip-hop duo 1PUNCH .
Under Brave Entertainment and D-Business
Entertainment, the duo made their debut just
earlier this year, but Jaewon is already looking to
make his mark in the industry by joining SMTM4.
13. Taewoon was a talented underground rapper
prior to his career as an idol as a part of COED
SCHOOL which later split into two sub-groups: F-
VE DOLLS , which recently disbanded, and his group
SPEED. His time as the leader of SPEED showcased
his charismatic charm and his impeccable rap skills.
He also became known as Block B Zico’s older
brother after Zico’s debut. On March 25th, it was
announced that Taewoon has left the group and is
confirmed to join the upcoming season of SMTM4 .
It is unknown whether or not he passed the
audition, as he was seen exiting without a chain,
which signifies a pass. However, some have
speculated that he might have hidden his chain to
surprise viewers.
14. BLACKNUT has perhaps the most interesting
story of all. According to reports, the rapper
grabbed Zico by his collar during his performance
and proceeded to rap in an overboard fashion
before forgetting his lyrics. The rapper was said to
have proceeded to spin around several times while
rapping and then pulled down his pants.
15. K9 is an underground rapper who has not
released many songs to the public, but most
notably was ranked #2 in EPIK HIGH’s “Born
Hater” cover contest on Facebook, just under
SMTM3 contestant Olltii. He was the opening act
for G.NA ‘s first concert in Canada and has also
opened for Jay Park and Vasco in the past for
their Canadian shows.
