“Show Me the Money 9” plans to showcase a new system of competition, as well as the usual diverse lineup of talented producers. The biggest difference in the new season will be the final prize. The winner of “SMTM9” will receive the title of “Young Boss” as the new protagonist of the Korean hip hop scene. Along with the prize money given in previous seasons, the winner will receive a considerable investment in their music production, from album production, concerts, marketing, and other business ventures.

The format of each season varies, but generally, consists of contestants going head to head in a series of challenges until only one rapper remains. The show includes a mixture of rookie and experienced rappers, with the experienced rappers typically serving as "producers," a role that includes being both mentors and judges.

The fifth season of SMTM featured four different producer teams consisting of: AOMG judges Simon Dominic & Gray, YG Entertainment judges Kush & Zion T, judges Dok2 & The Quiett of Illionaire Records and Gill & Mad Clown. This season held open auditions in LA for the first time with guest judge Timbaland. It also saw the participation of many popular and well known artists in the Korean hip hop scene as well as notable participants of past seasons such as G2, Reddy, C Jamm, BewhY, Bizniz, Onesun, Jin Doggae, J'Kyun, Xitsuh, Snacky Chan, One, Sanchez, Dayday, Junoflo, Myundo, Super Bee and Flowsik.
