Manchester its time to bring rap back to its roots! For too long underground rappers turn up to open mics full of indie bands and singers, with no place to showcase their talent. Thats why weve decided to Raise The Bar! Rappers have got 9 minutes to shell it on the mic, impress the crowd and gain the chance to win a paid champion set at our next event. You lot in the crowd, we havent forgot about you! The first 10 people who turn up on the night will be offered the important role of being our judges and play an important part of selecting our next champion! Derasae will be headlining RTB this month, fresh off his new release Global Domination, hes been a force in the underground scene for lil minute but now its his time to make the cross over into the RTB world And we cant forget, last months winner DB will be in the champion slot for his paid set after shutting down the open mic last month And lets not forget, the rap scene would not be the same without our producers so we gotta put them on. Well have some on Manny's top producers sending in some of their hardest beats to be used for the late night DJ cypher with Dredar where anyone can pick up the mic and spray. £5 on the door!
