Newham General, D Double E is on the search for the newest talent on episode 1 of CORD‘s latest YouTube series, UP NEXT.

Hosted by Klaudia Fior, UP NEXT is the latest talent show from CORD. With the aim of finding a winner to open up for D Double E on his next set of tours, the show sees 13 up and coming MCs go head to head  in front of a panel of judges made up of D Double E himself, Mimi The Music Blogger and Alex Basz aka Mr Reload It.

Taking on either 1011‘s ‘Next Up’, 50 Cent & The Game‘s ‘Hate It Or Love It’ or Skepta‘s – ‘Spaceship’ (Rebound X  ‘Rhythmn & Gash‘) as a choice of instrumental, each MC sprays a 16 or 32 in front of the panel with the hopes of being given a CORD Social‘s CD as their ticket to the next round.
