SMTM 5 /Had It My Way/

EPISODE 4

Every producer have already worked with each other during the past seasons so they might know how each team would perform but there is always a space for changes and surprises.

During rehearsal of AOMG team, Loco and Ugly Duck was there to bring more life to the performance.

The Quiett: The AOMG crew is here to support their boss.
Dok2: Watch out for the 1llionaire Gang to Turn Up the heat.

During 1llionaire rehearsal, Beenzino was there to complete the gang.

Zico and Paloalto watched calmly as the other teams bring forth their cards. They went up to the stage to rehearse with only themselves.

San E and VJ was next to rehearse, they also brought no one as a guest. They said they don't need it.

The time for their performance finally came. The place around the stage started filling up. The rappers came inside and stayed on the upper narrow terrace area on the side of the stage. The performers were watching the happenings on a monitor and they were somehow nervous as the rappers all looked serious except for some.

The first performer was called then: the AOMG team.
.........
Wally: I've always idolized Simon D hyung and his style. I might go for their team seeing how amazing they are up close and personal.
Tami: I can't decide! I haven't seen all of them, yet.

The next was the 1llionaire gang.
.........
Minthole: I like their style and I can actually see myself working with them.
Bugs: They're so cool... So cool.
Jay: I was thinking of going to AOMG but after seeing the 1llionaire gang, I can't be really sure.

The third was the ZiPal team.
.........
Hyura: They're so full of spunk! Wow!
Dill: I know now where I'll go (smiles)
Joseph Wang: My brother said he'll go to AOMG so I thought I'll pick another team and ZiPal is that other team.
Hyun Jae: Team ZiPal I think is the best team and it's not impossible for me to join them.

The last team to perform was the San E & VJ team.
Kit: Hyper.
Lazy: After seeing everyone, they made the last impression on me because they were the last to perform. I'm too lazy to think of those who came before. I think I'll go with them.
Baek Ji: They're really something. San E the Rap Genius and Verbal Jint King of Flow. I'd like to learn from them.
Weenon: I'm excited.

Deaf Tongue: Just any team would do. The most important thing is for a team to choose me.

The day of the choosing came and everyone was excited and nervous at the same time. A producer team together with the very few who decided to join them could get elmiminated if not at least 4 people have joined them.
