Vietnamese Rap runner-up King of Rap RichChoi

Runner-up King of Rap RichChoi decided to take the Rap Viet season 2. The rapper born in 1999 said he was not pressured by public expectations.
RichChoi is the runner-up of King of Rap to air in 2020. During the competition, he has many highly-rated performances. During Rap Viet’s 2021 casting in Hanoi, RichChoi suddenly appeared as a contestant. After that, runner-up King of Rap RichChoi’s performance in the casting appeared on social networks. The audience appreciated his skills.

However, according to the announcement from RichChoi, he did not pass the casting round. Rapper admitted sad because he could not continue. “If I was scared, I wouldn’t register for the Rap Viet exam” – How do you feel when you receive the result of being excluded from the casting round of Rap Viet? – I am really sad. Anyone who says that he failed the exam without being sad may lie. Especially when I am devoted to the exam. Before taking the exam, asking many brothers, friends, people stopped me saying I was runner-up, so I quit doing the test and what to do. Someone even said that if people hated me because I passed from another side and failed to bring a bad reputation, there was something for the audience to dissect, comparing that the rapper with the award on side A failed side B from casting or several rounds. First, very embarrassing. But I don’t care, just take the exam and have “fought” with all my might. The judges are all the senior who make music and have prestige so they should play. Everyone complimented me, saying I passed, it was fun to hear. Now that I receive the missed notification, I was sad and then I wondered about many things. – Now what his friends said has come true, that he is the runner-up of King of Rap and failed right from the casting round of Rap Viet. Are you afraid to face the disparaging words? – If I was afraid I did not sign up. I am still young, there are many challenges, opportunities are ahead, I am afraid not to experience. I’m not a sleeper on victory. Having achieved an achievement, I will continue to conquer new milestones instead of staying still. RichChoi is the runner-up of King of Rap 2020.

They only announce when I actively ask. According to the organizers, my test lacked a bit of points to enter the Video recording round. I also look forward to receiving a candid assessment from the jury so that I can learn from my own experience because I consider this a fair playing field for the rapper brothers. – Does RichChoi accept this result? – Of course I have a hard time accepting this information because I have not heard specific reviews about why my score is “a little missing”. I want to clarify that the reason is missing, because I am also confident with that part. If anyone who follows RichChoi knows whether casting or demo, I am always prepared as an official performance stage. To be blunt, RichChoi’s pride does not allow sloppy competitions, so I had quite a lot of expectation for the casting results. – With the casting round, how does RichChoi evaluate himself? – I dare not admit it was the best performance. But I think it was a much better performance than the casting competition in Hanoi. I just want to say that I am proud and confident with that part, and the comments must be from the listener, from the brothers in the jury or the contestants who were present in the casting that day. – So in your opinion, the reason for failing is not because of the quality of the exam? – There are dozens of reasons for the judges to fail me, when there is no basis to confirm which is right. However, I also heard that some corridor news because I was “old”, had too much experience in competitions, so the organizers did not want to exploit. If it was related to the previous competitions it would be too sad for me to choose the wrong playground to put my faith against the brothers. I hope not. Coming to every rap contest, RichChoi just wants to burn and dedicate himself to hip hop music, other things I don’t care too much about. Every time I participate in each contest, I always think it is a trip to hunt for new opportunities and experiences. It’s a bit of a regret, but in my opinion the opportunity comes not only from game shows. RichChoi was eliminated from the casting round of Rap Viet.

Why did you appear in Rap Viet? – RichChoi does not take too much time to think, consider and make a decision to join Rap Viet. When I saw that many famous underground rappers were participating, I was excited and wanted to try. RichChoi feels very excited to play with strong opponents. It is a challenge but also an opportunity to help me overcome my limits. – What was your main purpose when you came to this contest? – Of course, the first is to make good music, coming to a game show is also an opportunity for RichChoi to meet artists and producers that I have not had the chance to work with before. RichChoi wants his journey at Rap Viet season 2 to be really impressive and new. Last year I set a goal that if I became the King of Rap champion, I would open a porridge shop, but I haven’t done it yet. This year, if I am the champion of Rap Viet, I will not open a porridge shop anymore. I will get married. So this year I have not been married yet. Honestly, I also just wanted to join one more tournament to get motivated to sing. I want to continue living in the harsh writing atmosphere the day before, the intense pressure I have no time to sleep. Busy but very happy. – The fact that Rap Viet has a great effect, helping many young rappers become expensive, high-income faces is partly the reason why RichChoi participates in this contest? – Any contestant on reality TV wants to have new opportunities for their career. Becoming runner-up King of Rap has opened up a lot of opportunities for me. Therefore, expensive shows or high income is not the main goal for me to come to Rap Viet this year. I joined the program this time, the goal was not the achievement. My goal is that when the show ends, my songs and performances will leave a positive value and be loved by the public. In my opinion, the real value of the artist lies in the music, not the certificates of merit. RichChoi is highly appreciated for his skill in flow, delivery, writing lyrics … Photo: Tung Doan. – After becoming the runner-up of King of Rap, he once said he would focus on producing new music products. However, so far he is still quite quiet? – My job is very convenient. I have more opportunities to develop my passion for rap, hiphop. I also have many musical plans and plans. All will be released in parallel during this year’s game show participation. My show count is quite equal right now. In the past, due to the influence of Covid-19, work was halted. However, things have stabilized again. In the near future, RichChoi will release his first MV since the end of the program King of Rap. What was the atmosphere of Rap Viet casting with the participation of thousands of contestants? – The casting was really hot, the number of casting participants was unprecedented. The atmosphere started to be attractive right from the casting round, making a contestant who participated in the game show like me feel somewhat nervous. I feel like new contestants. Luckily, I was able to show my entire competition.
