Karik's strategy in Rap Viet season 4

Before entering the Confrontation round of Rap Viet season 4 episode 7, coach Karik told the contestants: "Play like it's the final."

Karik's own strategy

On the evening of November 2, Rap Viet season 4 episode 7 aired the Confrontation round with the performances of the contestants from coach Karik's team.

Before entering the competition round, Karik advised the contestants: "In every round, play as if it were the final."

8 members of Coach Karik's team in the Confrontation round.

In this round, for each match, Karik has his own strategy. Along with that, in music , Karik aims for diversity.

The type beats (instrumentals created to imitate the style of a famous artist or producer) he and producer Tin Le made in this round had both war and cool colors, humorous... but no matter what, "my team's specialty must have an introspective song".

In the first match, Karik chose V# and Danmy. The coach expected an attractive performance, showing off his rap and dancing skills as well as his charisma while performing.

According to Karik, the two girls have the same energy but one is lacking what the other has. Danmy has a strong Kpop color, making catchy hooks that are market-oriented, while V# is more dusty and pure hip hop. On the contrary, Danmy lacks the strong personality that V# possesses. Therefore, when the two combine, they will complement each other.

Just as coach Karik expected, stepping onto the stage like "fish in water", the two spread energy to the ladies through the rap "Xa vibes" on the background music combining trumpets and drums as majestic as a parade.

As the special title of the song, Karik wanted to dedicate this performance to women, especially those who are struggling to comply with social rules imposed on the weaker sex. The performance of the two girls made Hieu Thu Hai restless.

At the end of the performance, Danmy received 49% of the votes and V# was slightly better with 51% of the votes.

When MC Tran Thanh had not yet mentioned the climax of who would advance to the next round, Coach BigDaddy blew the whistle and threw the Golden Hat onto the stage.

He declared: "I'm not satisfied with the fact that my team lacks girls. I like this performance and these two are evenly matched. And whoever goes on or who stays, come back to the Big team!"

As a result, the two judges decided to let Danmy continue with Karik's team and V# will receive the Golden Hat and move to coach BigDaddy's team.

B Ray threw the Golden Hat to rescue Tieu Minh Phung

The next pair is Lower and Dablo. In the Conquest round, both contestants used their storytelling strengths to convey their feelings in their performance.

However, Karik admitted that in previous years he had made contestants delve too deeply into their own pain, so this year he let the contestants have a different approach. The message of the song this time is to bring light and hope to this world .

Dablo and Lower are edgy and fresh in the Confrontation round.

Coach B Ray commented that Dablo's flow (rhythm/rhyme) was a bit "sticky", making it difficult to listen to on stage. Meanwhile, Lower had an interesting and smart opening, dividing the verses (main lyrics) clearly. The combination of the two was in harmony, especially the harmony with Vu Phung Tien pushed the emotions to a high level.

When it came to the studio audience voting, the results were tied at 50% for Lower and 50% for Dablo. The two judges decided to choose Lower to continue with Karik's team.

Dablo will enter the 8bar (rescue) stage of the show.

Mason Nguyen and Tieu Minh Phung are a pair that are considered to be able to support and elevate each other. With these two personalities, producer Tin Le has combined the elements of cải lương and vinahouse together.

The problem becomes even more difficult when Karik wants the contestants to perform on a beat that is not new but the song must be completely different.

Tieu Minh Phung received the Golden Hat from Coach B Ray.

The couple's performance of "See you next time" surprised the studio because of its catchy and novel style.

Coach Suboi commented: "Tieu Minh Phung is really good at it. His rap is very unique and doesn't need to follow rap's rules. He knows how to attract people, so it's great. Congratulations to you guys."

Coach B Ray said that this combination has taken him from one surprise to another, so both of them deserve to continue. The coach said as he threw the Golden Hat to rescue one of the two contestants to his team.

As a result, Mason Nguyen won and continued to accompany Karik. Meanwhile, Tieu Minh Phung returned to team B Ray.

Manbo and Billy 100 "combine swords"

Manbo and Billy 100 are the most anticipated pair in Rap Viet season 4 episode 7. When pairing them up, Karik wanted two contestants with similar energy and experience to "combine their skills" to create an impressive performance.

The pair electrified the entire stage with their performance and style in the "Winner" round. They both took turns releasing their invested lyrics and unpredictable rap flows.

Coach BigDaddy praised the performance of the two contestants. He shared: "Both of them acted very tensely, but their tension was contrasting. Manbo was confident and calm in the way he flowed. When he switched to Billy 100's part, he was tense like a heavy punch. In verse 3, the way the two of you flowed, pushing each other, was harmonious, tense but flexible and smooth."

At the end of the competition, Manbo received 61% of the votes and Billy 100 received 39% of the votes from the studio audience.

JustaTee decided to choose Manbo to continue with Karik's team and Billy 100 will fight in the 8bar round.

Dablo and Billy 100 rock the stage.

In the 8-bar round, Karik's team only had 2 people left, Dablo and Billy 100, competing for a place to continue by showing off their talent through 2 beats and 8 bars of music.

With the humorous topic - how to deal with knowing that your lover is unfaithful, the 2 contestants gave their all in the "survival" round, bringing the audience lots of relaxing laughter. Finally, Karik decided to choose Billy 100 as the last member to accompany the team to the breakthrough round.

At the end of Rap Viet season 4 episode 7, coach Karik's team had 7 people entering the Breakthrough round with 2 Golden Hats belonging to V# and Tieu Minh Phung.

Thus, Karik's team has 5 members: Danmy, Lower, Mason Nguyen, Billy 100 and Manbo.

V# moved to coach BigDaddy's team and Tieu Minh Phung joined coach B Ray's team.
