In every episode there are three battles, and each challenge two rappers. The first two battles have a current topic to which the two contestants should try to stick as closely as possible, while the third is a free subject. Also to the first two challenges have a duration of three rounds as follows: the first two by one minute for each rapper, the third two minutes in which rappers take turns with a beat of four quarters to the head (instead of the third gala round was only one minute, and all the challenges they had this same period). The winners of the first two battles pass the turn, but the losers will have to see if the play-off, the last two rounds of two minutes, winning goes, the loser is eliminated permanently. At the end of each challenge judges will give their preference and, in the case where the judgment is equal, will be the public to decide the winner. After nine episodes of the final winner, and the title of champion, will win a cash prize of 5000 Euro.
