After the first four episodes, which introduced the contestants and tested their rapping skills, episode 6 crowned RT Mallone as the winner. He earned R$ 500,000 and a spot in Sintonia season 5.
He competed against OGCapitu in the finale episode, which was a cipher battle and he had to choose from 2 eliminated contestants to pair up with.

RT said the prize would be for all of his family because he wanted to repay them for raising him with freedom. His mom said she always knew he would make it big.
Talking about his aspirations, RT said:
"I want to be this representative for the new rap scene in Brazil. I want to bring it to all the playlists, all the big festivals. What us 12 did here is what I want I want to do. We are the new scene".
He got emotional when he said rap made him believe in himself.
RT Mallone's battle with OGCapitu to the win in Rhythm + Flow Brazil
RT faced a few minor hiccups while rehearsing for his Rhythm + Flow Brazil cipher alongside Gabrelu and Guiu and against OGCapitu and her team- Maria Preta and Novak. He got frustrated while rehearsing on the stage and walked out because he didn't feel like his vision was coming to life.
He said everything he wanted, from the styling of the costumes to the background dancers to the choreography, wasn't going his way, which was putting him off. However, he conquered the differences of opinions and delivered a stage-shattering performance.
While making their final decision, the judges agreed over the fact that RT brought in more of the rap and had many elements of the same in his track along with punchlines. Djonga said that OGCapitu was an amazing artist but RT was a Monster, Filipe added that he came in with a "heavy track" setting an example for the others.
