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! JrodBroccoli will be healdining this months RTB to round out his month of MAYHEM where he is releasing a track on instagram every coupleof dyas for the whole of May! And we cant forget, last months winner Maname will be in the champion slot for her 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 Diligent Fingers where anyone can pick up the mic and spray. £5 on the door!
