This past weekend was filled to the brim with hip hop events and festivals. We had international flow masters Elzhi and T3, Slum Village, come through to Bassline on Sunday night and the infamous Back to the City hip hop festival on Monday. For the underground, this past weekend was all about ciphers, punchlines and most importantly, Battles!
Crazy 88 was taken over this weekend by surprise after a crowd of cut throat MCs with lethal rhymes invaded the spot for the War with Words 3 Rap Battle for R10, 000. Once again, that crazy white boy came through and ripped the place to shreds! Nick Explicit came out victorious this past weekend when he defeated all opposing challengers in the 3rd annual War with Words Rap Battle to win 10 grand.
The event was originally scheduled to go down at Platinum in Fourways, but at the last minute, 6pm, SMS’ were sent out to inform everyone of the change of venue. What resulted from this late shift was a smallish crowd with not that many hip hop heads out to show support. We could argue that the shift in venue made it a little easier for Nick to take it, but then again, between taking the crown in 08 at the same event, and beating Pro, you can’t really hate on him. Well done Nick, represent for the UnderGround.
