As the artists pass the halfway point in the competition, the battle for top spot has just been thrown wide open with some surprise drops in the rankings. They arrive at a disused factory to discover their first challenge will be to write a cypher about fashion, but with far less writing time than usual. With the pressure on, half the artists crumble in what proves to be their toughest challenge yet, with guest mentors rapper Shaybo and supermodel Leomie Anderson critiquing their attempts.
For their next challenge, the rivalry ramps up as they're split into two groups to create their own diss track videos - each aimed at the other. Guest mentor P Money then views and judges each completed videos. Tensions boil over as the gloves come off and the rankings take another turn for the unexpected. The artists also find out that by the end of next week, half of them will be leaving the competition.
