Trivia

 * This is the first season:
 * since Nice Peter's deal with Maker Studios.
 * since Season 1 to not have a trailer.
 * where the first battle doesn't feature a fictional rapper.
 * Based on comments made by Peter, this could possibly be the final season, and so he wants to try "everything", and to make it as good as possible.
 * According to Nice Peter, the season is currently a month behind schedule.
