The ninth season of the series Show Me the Money (known as Show Me the Money 9 or SMTM9) premiered on October 16, 2020, and ended on December 18, 2020. It was broadcast every Friday at 23:00 (KST) on Mnet.[1] The season returned to four producing teams, after having featured only two in the previous season. Dynamic Duo & Bewhy, Paloalto & Code Kunst, Zion.T & Giriboy, and Justhis & GroovyRoom formed the producing teams for the season.[2]
The season saw approximately 23,000 applicants, the most in the show's history.[1] However, fewer contestants were able to move on from the Rapper Selection Round compared to previous seasons, due to safety restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The winner of the season was Lil Boi, with Team Zion.T x Giriboy as the winning producer team. He won ₩100,000,000 in cash, a sports car, and a one-year project label for his music activities, totaling to ₩500,000,000.[3] Producer Giriboy also became the first 3-time winning producer of the show, having previously won in seasons 777 and 8.
