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 Blaise and tagged Lyricism 101,
will be a platform to appreciate lyrics in hip hop. So, 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 Uprizin.
There
will also be performances by Butafly (TBB), Dolapo, Phenom and Five
Mics while DJ Ozee will be on the steel wheels for the event which red
carpet starts at 5pm.
Str8 up Hip hop is a production of Now Muzik En.Core in partnership with Beat 99.9 fm.
Str8 Up Hip-hop! Celebrate the art form, live the culture!
