What is the Rap Challenge?
The SteemIT Rap Challenge is a weekly Hip-Hop competition for SBD. I launched this initiative to help grow the Hip-Hop community here on SteemIT. There are tons of rappers here and there wasn't a specific contest that gave these MC's a chance to compete against one another. Battling is one of the foundations of Hip-Hop culture so it is only right to have a Hip-Hop battle contest right here on our favorite social media platform.
Interested in joining?
Every week on Sunday I make a blog post with the beats for that week. So if you want to join the Rap Challenge just come to blog on Sunday and check the weekly rap challenge thread for the new beats.
Apology
I am sorry for the delay with posting the winners this week. I have been having some familial issues over the passed week and things have been hectic for me. Please if you are a rap challenger thank you for continually showing support to this initiative. I am still looking for more people to help me judge this thing. Please reach out to me on steemit or via discord.
New Judge
Welcome @slickhustler007 to the ranks of judges. He helped me judge this week, and he will be a judge from here on out.

Your style all together is just very chill and you always have something with a message in it. True Hip-Hop artform every time from you. Keep it coming!
@senzainfinite - Damn girl this verse was fucking FIRE. You had crazy swag and attitude and you delivered your lyrics with hella confidence and appeal. I really enjoyed this verse a lot, and then you threw in those couple bars of vocals? let me know find you we got a Lauryn Hill on our hands? Sistah, keep coming with this FIRE!

5TH PLACE @FRAZE - 24 PTS
My dude this was a very dope entry this week. You had style, charisma, and the bars to back up your swag. One of my favorite lines in your entry was "I’m not ashamed, not a player but i know the game, If you can’t feel me you must be on novocaine" ..BARS!
6TH PLACE @MIKEDYNAMO - 22 PTS
I really enjoyed this entry this week man. Your bars had a really good message and your flow and consistency throughout the verse was very good. You said you were in cambodia? that's cool too! Again man I really enjoyed your message in this verse. Good work brotha!
