BET & YouTube Partner Up For 'Freestyle Fridays' Reboot

It's lit! BET and YouTube are partnering up to give us old "106 & Park" fans something that we used to love watching on the music show every single week... Freestyle Fridays!

"BET is launching #FreestyleFridayBET, the ultimate video-upload contest seeking out the best undiscovered MCs around the world. Staying true to its roots from '106 & PARK' the contest challenges MCs across the globe to show off their best rhymes!" the network's website reads. So, here's how the rap competition will go down. 

Contestants will compete against each other in four lifestreams in the select cities of Los Angeles, New York, Toronto and London. Then, the real showdown begins. "The four winning finalists from each city will be flown to LA to take part in a rap battle that will be judged by a panel of celebrity judges at the Fan Fest main stage at the BET Experience," BET continues. "The winner of the battle will earn the opportunity to be the opening act for the BET Experience hip hop show at the Staple Center on June 23."

Peep the official #FreestyleFridayBET dates for the livestreams below and get ready to be blessed with more bars from the BET battle rap scene. We've been missing this bad.
