Prior to Round One, about 16,000 contestants sent in their audition clips to the production crew and each clip will be viewed by the production crew. About 2,000 contestants were selected to participate in Round One.
After sending in their audition clips, those selected by the production crew will attend this round. These contestants would be judged by the producer crews through a short a cappella rap. Chains are handed to the contestants that have passed to the next round. The difference for this season is that in this round, contestants who were eliminated can have a second judging. In the second judging, contestants will be judged by the other producer crew that did not judge them in the first judging. [lower-alpha 1] It is also possible for contestants who passed the first judging to take part in the second judging.

Also known as the Half Elimination Judging. The 88 contestants who have progressed from the One Minute Rap round will be categorized based on the number of passes each of them receive. From there, they will each choose a beat from 12 beats available and get themselves into groups based on the beats chosen. Each beat can have more than one group performing. The judges would evaluate each contestant based on their performances. Both crews would each choose the worst contestant(s) from each rap beat to eliminate, or can choose not to eliminate any. For each beat, up to half the number of contestants who have chosen the beat would be eliminated. A hidden rule in this round is Crew Pass, which can be used by each crew only once to revive a contestant who has been eliminated in this round.

- Originally advanced to the next round but voluntarily left the show after his recent controversy (see controversy section). The show's producers decided to blur out the contestant until his official elimination from the show.
Different from previous seasons, the remaining 54 contestants will choose which producer crew they'll join. The contestant will press the remote control in which the stage of the producer crew he/she did not choose will be lowered down with flames showing up (similar to what eliminated contestants faced after the One Minute Rap round) while the chosen Producer Crew will welcome the contestant and will go the waiting room with other contestants from the same crew.
- Contestant CH did not appear starting from this round, and it is rumoured that he has voluntarily left the show, while to make the numbers even, contestant Jackal was eliminated due to him not being picked at all in an undisclosed scene of episode 4.

- Originally advanced to the next round but voluntarily left the show after his recent controversy (see controversy section). The show's producers decided to blur out the contestant until his official elimination from the show.
MC Kim Jin-pyo will flip a coin with the names of both crews. When one of the crews has been flipped, he will select 1 contestant from that crew and that selected contestant will pick an opponent from the opposite crew to compete in the 1-on-1 crew rap battles. The paired contestants will choose a beat or song from the producer crews that they will perform in the producers crews' special stages. Unlike previous seasons, special guest judges will be joining the producer judges in determining the winner for this round: YDG (season 3 producer judge), Dynamic Duo (season 6 judges), Paloalto (season 4 and 7 judge), Nafla (season 7 champion), Rhythm Power (Hangzoo (season 4 contestant and season 6 champion), Geegooin (season 4 and 6 contestant) and Boi B (season 5 and 7 contestant), Basick (season 4 champion), TakeOne (season 1 contestant), Geeks' Lil Boi (season 4 contestant), Flowsik (season 5 contestant), pH-1 (season 7 contestant) and Crush. The winners of their respective match-ups will move on to the next round. If the match-up ends up in a tie of number of votes, a sudden death battle will be done. After the 1-on-1 battles, each crew would select 4 of their eliminated crew members to take part in the revival battle, and only 2 from each crew can progress to the next round.

Advances to the next round through revival
Eliminated from the show
Both crews will perform in front of a live audience, including 1 new song from each crew, to determine who will get the first crew song track for the show. After the performances, the remaining 31 contestants (14 from 40 Crew, 17 from BGM-v Crew) will compete in the Producer Crew Battle. Before the Producer Crew Battle, both crews have to eliminate contestants until each crew has only 11 contestants remaining. Special guest judges for the Producer Crew Battle are Loopy (season 7 runner-up), Chaboom (season 7 contestant), Junoflo (season 5 and 6 contestant), The Quiett (seasons 3, 5 and 7 judge), Basick (season 4 champion), Lil Boi (season 4 contestant), TakeOne (season 1 contestant) and Paloalto (season 4 and 7 judge). For the Producer Crew Battle, similar to last season, each group will take turns as they do freestyle/pre-rehearsed raps under certain beats. The winning crew will advance to the next round while the losing crew will have its producers choose 1 contestant to eliminate. In the case of a tie after two rounds, a third round will be held to determine the winning crew.

- Originally advanced to the next round but voluntarily left the show after his recent controversy (see controversy section). The show's producers decided to blur out the contestant until his official elimination from the show.
Previously known as the Team Song Mission Round. Different from previous seasons, each producer crew will split its members into two groups and will perform in front of all the judges. At the end of each group performance, the producers of each crew will eliminate one contestant from each group, while the rest of the members of that group will advance to the next round, with their songs officially released as part of this season's official discography.

- Originally advanced to this round but voluntarily left the show after his recent controversy (see controversy section). For this round, the show's producers decided to blur out the contestant while performing his lyrics for the Crew Song mission, in which he made a crucial mistake and caused his official elimination from the show.
After the Crew Song Mission Round, both producer crews will each split themselves into 3 groups, and will engage in a 3-on-3 diss battle in each round, except for one round where 40 Crew has 1 less member, hence a 2-on-3 diss battle will be held. The producers from both crews play rock, paper, scissors to determine the crew that gets to choose their match-ups for the whole round. Before the battle, both producer crews will be outdoors for their crew bonding missions to win benefits for the battle, with guest host DinDin, and preparations for the battle. Each of the 100 members of the audience will vote for only 1 crew after each round. The losing crew will have its producers choose 1 contestant to eliminate.

For the remaining rounds, the competition will be of a tournament basis. With BGM-v Crew having 5 members left and 40 Crew having only 3 members left, 2 members from BGM-v Crew will battle against each other. The contestant will perform in a live audience either alone or with a special guest performer(s). Based on 2 rounds of audience voting (total in ₩), the winners of each matchup will advance to the next round. The final episode will consist of the semi-finals and the final round. It will be televised live in which the performers will perform alone or with their respective producers and/or with special guest performer(s). This year's final round marks the first time where two contestants from the same crew faced each other in this round. The contestant with the most number of combined votes from both the live audience and TV viewers will win this season. In addition, there will be special performances for both the semi-final and final rounds: the semi-final round will have the first ever Show Me The Money Teenage Cypher, and the finals will include special performances from other eliminated contestants from the show and/or special guest performers.
