Netflix’s new show, “Rhythm + Flow Poland,” made its debut on May 14, 2025, marking the beginning of a nationwide search for Poland’s next rap sensation. Following a similar format to its American counterpart, the show features regional auditions and judges selecting standout performers to advance to the next round in Warsaw. The three main judges, Bedoes 2115, Dziarma, and SoKoi, each oversee a different region of Poland: North, South, and Central, respectively.
The premiere episode showcased regional auditions in cities like Białystok, Łódź, Świętokrzyskie, Poznań, and Gdańsk. Contestants went head-to-head, with judges providing direct feedback before deciding who would progress. Originality, stage presence, and lyrical strength were key factors in the evaluations.
In the northern region, Bedoes 2115 and Young Multi led the auditions in Białystok. Two contestants, Postpone and Martin, were among the first to perform. Despite receiving feedback that their performances were decent but lacking uniqueness, both artists were selected to move forward, with a warning not to disappoint.
In Central Poland, SoKoi, along with Włodi and Asster, began auditions in Łódź. Contestants Gleba and Lia performed, but despite positive feedback on their individual strengths, they were eliminated for not possessing the complete package. However, in Poznań, contestants Zippy Ogar and Boron impressed the judges with their confidence and delivery, earning them a spot in the next round.
In the south, Dziarma and Hiya, in Świętokrzyskie, expressed their desire to see more female representation in rap. Contestants Baby V and Big Jed faced some challenges during their performances but were both selected to advance based on their potential and lyrical abilities.
With a prize of 500,000 zlotys at stake, the competition in “Rhythm + Flow Poland” is fierce, with judges making tough decisions based on talent and room for improvement. Fans can catch the first four episodes of the show on Netflix and follow the journey of Poland’s rising rap stars.
The show promises to uncover the best new rap talent in the country and provide a platform for artists to showcase their skills and creativity. Stay tuned for more exciting performances and intense battles as the competition heats up on “Rhythm + Flow Poland.”
