Eminem Tapped as Guest Judge for Season 2 of ‘Rhythm + Flow’
Rhythm + Flow will return to Netflix on Nov. 20 for season 2, and the rap competition show has some special guests slated to make appearances in Atlanta, including Eminem.
Slim Shady will be popping out alongside his close friend Royce Da 5’9″ to lend his critique to artists’ auditions, as well as main judges Ludacris, DJ Khaled and Latto.
Other episodes find respected industry veterans such as Busta Rhymes, Big Sean, Remy Ma, GloRilla and Mr. Porter joining the show as guest judges.
The lucky winner of Rhythm + Flow will take home a $250,000 cash prize. D Smoke won the first season in 2019, which featured Cardi B, Chance the Rapper and T.I. as primary judges. The three episodes for season 2 will be spread out to premiere weekly on Nov. 20, Nov. 27 and Dec. 4.
“I’m looking for the full package. I’m looking for somebody that can survive in this new generation,” Latto said in the trailer.
DJ Khaled added: “I want to discover something special.” While Ludacris chimed in looking for the next major talent, “I want to see who has everything to be the next superstar.”
DJ Holiday has been tapped to spin during the auditions, and then DJ Moe Beats will come in from the bullpen to take over the mix for battle rounds.
Eminem has enjoyed a very busy 2024. He released his The Death of Slim Shady album in July, which topped the Billboard 200 to give him a 10th consecutive solo chart leader.
Em even learned that he’s going to be a grandpa for the first time, with daughter Hailie Jade announcing her pregnancy in his “Temporary” video earlier in October.
