Lyrics cannot be divorced from hip
hop, which is why all time hip hop
artistes like the late American
rapper, Christopher Wallace, best known
as The Notorious B.I.G laid
emphasis on their lyrical style.
He had been described as possibly
the most skilful ever on the mic with
lyrical topics and themes described
as a mixture of autobiographical
details about crime and violence
with emotional honesty.
Thus the March edition of Str8 Up
Hip Hop to be hosted by Andre Blaze
and tagged Lyricism 101, will be a
platform to appreciate lyrics in hip
hop.Cool DJ Jimmy Jatt will hold
down a definitive B.I.G tribute and a
special preview session from
Modenine’s Alphabetical Order.
The event which will hold at Koga
Studios, Oregun Road, Ikeja on
Saturday, March 28, 2013 with
admission ticket of N5000, will also
feature breath-taking B-boy and
emcee battle sessions as well as
graffiti art by Uprizn.
There will also be performances by
Butafly (TBB), Dolapo, and Five Mics
while DJ Ozee will be on the wheels
of steel. Red carpet for the event
starts at 5pm.
Str8 up Hip hop is a production of
Now Muzik En.Core in partnership
with Beat 99.9 fm.
