Karik has 3 experienced contestants to enter the Breakthrough round, which are Manbo, Mason Nguyen and Queen B. Among them, Mando is Karik's trump card.
Karik completed the task well in the Confrontation round, when helping 7 out of 8 contestants advance to the next round. Karik's experience in the 3rd time sitting in the "hot seat" of Rap Viet was brought into play, when Karik's insight in pairing and choosing the topic helped all 4 confrontations have color.
V# and Tieu Minh Phung are two of Karik's students who were rescued by another coach by throwing his golden hat. These two contestants were not very outstanding in the Conquest round, but their transformation in the confrontation helped them get a chance. Finally, the representatives of Karik's team for the Breakthrough round were Damy, Lower, Mason Nguyen, Mando, Billy100 and Queen B (the contestant who Karik threw his hat to).
Karik's War Horse
Karik used his first choice privilege for Manbo from the casting round. After 2 performances, Manbo proved that Karik was right to put his trust in him. The debut of the rapper from the Gerdnang team at Rap Viet season 4 made a pretty good impression. In the Confrontation round, Manbo "swallowed" Billy 100, creating the most "viral" rap verse since the beginning of Rap Viet season 4 on social networks.
Manbo is now definitely Karik's number 1 hope, similar to GDucky's position in Rap Viet season 1 and Seachains in Rap Viet season 2. When Karik gave Manbo his first choice, the audience was somewhat skeptical, because this rapper is famous but whether he is really strong enough to explode in Rap Viet or not is an open question.
Before Rap Viet this season, Manbo was always prejudiced against being behind the success of his teammates in Gerdnang. Hieuthuhai was too successful in the market. Hurrykng and Negav followed Hieuthuhai, becoming phenomena in the past year.
Manbo came to Rap Viet to pave the way for his own career away from the title "Gerdnang member". The male rapper stepped onto the stage with a meticulous appearance and fashion, and invested heavily in his performances. The biggest mark that Manbo has made is his ability to build rap composition, with lyrics, using rap techniques, rhyming just enough.
After Manbo, Mason Nguyen is the most recognizable contestant on Karik's team. Mason Nguyen, formerly known as RZ Ma$, is known for his "viral" rap verses on TikTok, especially the rap: "Comrade tlinh, get dressed". Mason Nguyen brings a rather impressive list of achievements to Rap Viet season 4. However, after 2 rounds, what Mason Nguyen has done is still within the safe range.
This rapper does not have many variations in the way he exploits the theme and flow. Mason Nguyen's stage performance skills are still limited. With the same style as Mason Nguyen, 24k.Right once exploded in Rap Viet season 3. But when put on the scale, Mason Nguyen is still considered a lower version of 24k.Right in terms of musical personality and ability to stir up the crowd.
Waiting for surprise from Queen B
Karik lost V# to BigDaddy after the fight between the female rapper and Damny. In the next episode, Karik added another female contestant to his team, Queen B.
Among the 4 contestants who received the golden hat in the Confrontation round, V#, Queen B, Tieu Minh Phung and Coldzy, Queen B was the one who brought the strongest emotions. This contestant lost to Saabirose in a close match. Karik rescued a female rapper who has been in the profession for many years, known in the underground world but had to wait until Rap Viet season 4 to be known to the audience more.
Queen B is still an unpredictable card. When in Karik's hands, the former member of Suboi's team is even more unpredictable. Among the female rappers in Rap Viet season 4, Queen B is the one with the most pure and intense rap style. But with her pure rap color, Queen B has difficulty in the battle that requires mixing many materials.
Karik was very good at saving other contestants in the Confrontation round. In Rap Viet season 1, Ricky Star was saved by Karik and went all the way to the final. In season 2, Dlow was saved by Karik and continued to the final. Karik's life-or-death choices up to now have a very high success rate and this is the basis for the audience to expect Queen B to be able to turn the situation around.
Karik's team has 3 contestants for the Breakthrough round: Danmy, Lower and Billy100. All 3 are rough gems in Karik's hands. Among them, Lower has the most experience, successively passing the Conquest and Confrontation rounds with convincing performances. Lower's strengths are writing lyrics and building concepts, but his voice and performance ability are limited.
Billy100 has the most "fighting" voice in Rap Viet season 4 and the confident demeanor of a rapper born in 2002. However, Billy100's ability to write lyrics and build a performance structure is not as mature as his seniors. Danmy has the same problem as Billy100, so these contestants need a breakthrough to defeat the strong opponents in the Breakthrough round.
