“RAP IQ’ isn’t just any series. It’s a hot new game show that pits hip-hop artists against special guests. The format is trivia based, testing the depth of hip-hop knowledge. It’s a battle to ultimately see who has the highest rap IQ, a revelation of who’s the “rap genius.”

Episode one is currently streaming and features Westside Boogie v. GRIP, Dee Moe, and Brittany Sky. Future episodes will feature P-Lo, Buddy, and none other than D-Smoke. So for those looking for something to stoke the intellect while being entertained, check out “RAP IQ,” hosted by Patrick Cloud, comedian and creator.
