Forget the New York Yankees Diddy and Fox have built the newest superteam.
But each week, they must defend their spot against newcomers trying to knock them out of the competition.

Thats like a blessing, to see somebodys life change.
When I was coming up in the game, there werent opportunities like this.
And I said, Why you doing it?
I go, Ive got a day job, Im running a record company.
And he said, I want to move culture.
I did it once before with Bad Boy.
I want to go do that again, I think theres a major opportunity.
At Republic, weve been very successful with Despacito and Mi Gente and that movement.
Its a transparent game.
We start where all the other shows end.
In this music industry, everybody is fighting for that No.
1 spot, and so this is more reflective of how it is.
Instead of people controlling your own destiny, you control your own destiny.
And I think thats what this present place of the music industry is at.
The new generation is taking control of their own destiny, and thats what this show wants to embrace.
The format ofThe Fouris unlike any show before it.
I had to learn the rules and learn how it works.
I thought was exciting.
And I like that right away its an intense competition, from episode 1.
Its not like everyones auditioning just to get to a different level.
I thought that was sick.WALK:Everyone loves a battle.
Everyone loves the underdog.
Were going to get a lot of that here.
So what does that mean?
The idea is to make a difference in culture.
If you were great, Im going to tell you that you were great.
If you need advice, Im going to give you advice.
If you oughta do better, Im going to motivate and inspire you to not give up.
Look where Im at right now.
So that right there, it can be the No.
5 person that becomes the No.
1 in the world, but everybody gets an opportunity.
Its on you what you do with your opportunity.TRAINOR:I dont really know.
I assume that I will be emotional and helpful as much as I can.
I think Im going to be the most musical when I give advice compared to the other guys.
Someone said to me, Who are you going to be?
Im going to be me.Im not a villain, we talk truth because for this show.
Those are the acts that we get to work with at Republic.
Hes gonna do he what he do.
Khaled, hes gonna do what he do.
Youre gonna take it and know its real.WALK:Were not manufactured.
There wasnt like a huddle to manufacture us.
Diddy called me, then I talked to Khaled, Meghans like, I think Im doing this.
The Fourpremieres Thursday at 8 p.m.
