Rhythm + Flow


Rhythm + Flow is a 2019 music reality television series on Netflix which premiered on October 9, 2019. It is Netflix's first original music competition program.
In the series, hip hop artists Cardi B, Chance the Rapper, and Tip "T.I." Harris critique and judge unsigned rappers, who are competing to win a prize. In several episodes, the judges are joined by guest judges, who give the competitors additional feedback.

Development

Rhythm + Flow is the first music competition show developed for Netflix. It is also the first major music competition program to focus on hip hop music. Because Netflix is not subject to the same censorship regulations as normal broadcast television, competitors were not asked to censor profanity in their lyrics.
Rather than a recording contract, a typical prize in other music competitions, the winner is awarded a cash prize.

Release

The first four episodes of Rhythm + Flow were released on October 9, 2019, on Netflix. Three more episodes were released on October 16. The final three were released on October 23. In most Netflix series, all episodes of a season are released at once. Rhythm + Flow uses a more staggered release schedule to approximate the format of a traditional music competition show and build anticipation before the winner is announced.
