Moving to the beat

"The Rap of China," China's first reality TV show on hip-hop, prompted an unprecedented wave of interest in the US-born music genre when its first season was broadcast on video and entertainment site iQiyi in June. 

The stylish rappers, together with four celebrity judges - Chinese-Canadian pop star Kris Wu, Taiwan musicians Wilber Pan, Chang Chen-yue and MC Hotdog (the stage name of Yao Chung-jen) - fueled the rising popularity of a largely underground culture among Chinese youth. 

The program has also witnessed the birth of 2017's most trendy internet slang, such as "Can you freestyle?" and "diss."
