LOS ANGELES, CA (November 12, 2018) - The Rap Game heads into its most intense season ever and it's all-out music mayhem! The stakes are higher than ever before and with a battle every episode, this new crop of superstars must use everything in their arsenal to keep their place on the HIT List....and in the house! From executive producers, Golden Globe winner and Grammy nominee Queen Latifah and Grammy winner Jermaine Dupri, the fifth season of The Rap Game kicks off Thursday, January 10th at 9pm ET/PT. The following week (1/17) it will return to its regularly scheduled time slot of 10pm ET/PT. This is the time to shine for these six young rappers who will have to freestyle, flow and rhyme their way to a life-changing prize - a recording contract with Dupri's label, So So Def Recordings. This season, artists Will.I.Am, Lil Jon, Xscape, Killer Mike, Rapsody and Jacquees join Dupri to help guide these promising rappers to music victory.
The Rap Game Season 5 artists include:
Eli Triplett, 15, Chattanooga, TN - This Tennesee kid is raised by a single dad who works four jobs at a time to support his kids. Eli is a great boxer and basketball player, but it's always been writing music that's helped him to cope with his stress.

Nya Kasan, 16, Detroit, MI - A spunky teenager, this "girl power" rapper from Detroit is a master battler who's ready to destroy the competition. After growing up in a neighborhood surrounded by gang violence, she's determined to turn tragedy into triumph.
Queen Amayah, 15, Miami, FL - Bold and unapologetic, Queen Amaya brings an east coast flare reminiscent of Biggie. A mix of Iranian, Puerto Rican and Cuban, she's a smart storyteller and passionate rapper who has even challenged her teacher to a rap battle.
Sire, 14, Atlanta, GA - Sire's talent and personality are big and bold. His huge family of 10 recently uprooted their whole world and relocated to Atlanta to support Sire in pursuing his career. He considers himself a prolific writer, a great dancer, and an amazing live performer.
