Rhythm + Flow France (Nouvelle École)

We're going to bust Rhythm + Flow France in half this year.

We'll bust season two in two.

I can't hear you!

Paris, are you ready?

Let's go!

In season two of Rhythm + Flow France, a lot will change.

We're gonna be a lot more demanding.

This year, we have some surprises.

The S called me for the auditions.

We're going to disrupt them.

Rim'K in Rhythm + Flow.

Let's go.

NEW CANDIDATES

This competition can change everything.

For now, I'm nobody,

but with Rhythm + Flow , I can become someone.

I must get revenge on life. All I do is for my son.

NEW CHALLENGES

-You'll rap in front of 5,000 people. -Let's go!

Season two is new pressure.

It's you and your talent.

-No one's helping you. -You'll see!

NEW STAKES

You don't want to tell your boys from Marseille you fucked up.

You're so fat people will think you ate Driver.

Regarding the lyrics, you know, that stuff…

-Put in some effort. -You're some real lunatics.

-They're tough. -Heads are going to roll today for sure.

It's Squid Game here.

Get out of here, then. It's fine.

If you don't know your lyrics…

If you don't have the basics, you don't belong.

For now, I'm not taking anyone.

Actually, I didn't expect the level to be this high.

I'm heartbroken.

I'm hurting right now.

Fucking unbelievable.

It's a war, right? There's cash at the end.

100,000 EUROS

ONE COMPETITION

It's a battle!

-It's a crazy experience. -Your life's at stake.

If I have to die for my dream, I'll die.

If he doesn't win, I'll sign him.

-You're clearly my favorite. -I love you.

I love you too.

JUST ONE WINNER

Hot! Rhythm + Flow France, are you ready for the show?

I don't want to spoil it for you, you'll see it on Netflix.

RHYTHM + FLOW FRANCE

Hey Shay, how are you doing?

You're on time today! Are you good?

I'm so happy!

How long has it been?

For real, guys, I've missed you. You never called me!

You were supposed to take us out. We never got to eat!

-You were supposed to make us dinner. -Keep talking!

-Didn't she say she'd make us dinner? -Right there! I prepared this myself!

-Hey, season two! -Season two. It's cool.

We all agree we're not looking for the new Fresh.

-No. -We need to find something different.

Yeah, something different! I agree.

This season, it would be nice to have a few surprises, you know?

-Yeah. -Some guys who are hungry.

I think this year, you're going to be in devious mode!

-Yeah? -I think so.

-You think I'm mean? -I do.

It'd be really nice to see you, the S, take part a bit this season.

-What's that supposed to mean? -We didn't see you, Marseille. You…

You left too early.

-I don't know. -Are we gonna amaze them?

I don't know. I'm waiting to see the casting. Yeah!

If he's from our city, good, if not it's fine.

Actually, I'm thinking I shouldn't limit myself to Marseille.

I'll bring guys from Marseille and elsewhere.

Okay, I get it.

-We need to be more open. -All right.

-I'm probably going to take a plane. -What do you mean?

-Yeah. -Really?

Where are you going?

Maybe.

I am with Néné and Le Big in the van. Blinds down.

Néné is my DJ. This is my usual crew with Le Big too.

We've known each other since first grade. He's my brother above all.

And we're going discreetly into the city

to visit a pillar of Marseille's rap scene.

ALONZO ARTIST

For me, I think Alonzo has become part of something

where in ten years we'll be calling him a legend.

Who better than him, this year,

to help me, you know, decide between this or that talent?

The hotel InterContinental in Marseille has spanned generations,

and for us rappers, being here represents a social ascension.

There is no other hotel in Marseille that better reflects the city.

I thought it was a good spot.

-The S! -Alonz!

-How are you, brother? -Brother!

All good.

It works nicely with a girlfriend,

but it's also a good spot for business meetings.

Listen, it's picture-postcard.

We don't need to envy anyone!

We don't need to envy anyone. It's the most beautiful city in the world!

Today, I have two talents I don't know coming in…

-Okay. -…that I would like to discover with you.

You already know what's at stake, 100K. I need your gauge today.

-Yes. -I want the raw gauge.

-Where are these kids? -Where are these kids?

This competition can change everything for me.

Once in a lifetime opportunity.

ARKA 24 YEARS OLD

My name is Arka. I'm 24 years old, and I live in Aix-en-Provence.

When I saw my father going in and out of prison, I thought,

"If you don't leave now, you're gonna end up like that."

So, I got out. I left the projects.

I traveled. And it was music that saved me.

This competition can change everything for me.

Once in a lifetime opportunity.

If I have to die for my dream, I'll die.

Right now I'm in a hotel in Marseille.

I came here one day,

but they didn't let me in!

I want to show them what I've got. I'll get the job done!

Hello! I'm here for the audition with SCH.

My goal for the audition

is to show who Serabeu is and prove to the world that Serabeu is

one of the biggest French rappers.

It doesn't matter who's facing me. I'm going to kill it. Fuck it all up.

I'll show them what I'm capable of.

There's no time for "hello."

You're coming in.

-How are you? -Nice to meet you.

-How are you? Doing well? -All good?

-How old are you? -Twenty-two.

-Okay. Marseille? -Marseille.

I grew up here. This is my city.

-Okay. -What made you come?

-Determination, motivation. The 100K! -Yeah!

The 100K is no secret.

100K, that's a lot at stake!

-Are you ready? -I'm ready!

-Shall I start it up? -Let's go!

I'm in the weed house

I've been dreaming since I was a kid Why are you angry? Bitches!

I can rap backwards Backwards if I must

We put it all in the oven You stammered at the iron

I knew the real ones from the fake

You want to seduce my chick Get out of here

I'll pull out the gadget Bastard gesture

You gesticulate like a carp

Three of my colleagues are in prison

I have a solid gold-plated katana

It's light, it's out of the oven It's the game if I have to holler

It makes sense that I gotta go

It's money that puts me at ease

You've got the arms, but you're soft

I've got my boys If you speak ill, if you snitch

Run away if it's them Don't panic if it's us

Trafficking of all kinds

This is the projects We light you up for nothing

Flexible arms, I drown in her pussy You can tell I'm in

Whoa, I'm in!

Serabeu, I'm in the weed house

Okay!

Serabeu!

The boy's got good energy!

Hey, brother, I don't want to get carried away.

-Right, not carried away. -I think there will be…

-There will be a lot of competitors. -Let's not get carried away but--

A fierce competition, but in any case…

He can stand on his own!

Serabeu, my brother, there's someone behind you.

So me and Alonz are going to put things into perspective,

and we'll see you later.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

-Great. -Bravo.

-See you later. -See you later.

Shall we do the second one?

Why not!

I can't screw up.

For my mom. For me.

For the family.

For my dream.

You can come with me.

-How are you, brother? -I'm good, you?

-How are you? -I'm good.

-Feeling good? -All good.

What's your name?

-My name is Arka. -Arka, okay. From where?

-I'm from Aix. -How old?

-Twenty-four. -Twenty-four, okay.

He's got a look, eh!

Are you somehow related to the S by any chance?

-I knew you were gonna say that! -Brother, it's a joke!

You know, people from Marseille, we like to see people's teeth! The smile.

-I know. -Hey, Biggie. Teeth are important!

-But still! You're right. -I'm kidding.

-It's all right, my brother. I'm kidding. -Arka, show us your eyes, fratello.

You in a hurry or what?

He's on fire.
