Twin Cities Battle League is the brainchild of TruthMaze, one of the finest freestyle mc's in the Minneapolis game. As one of the originators of hip hop in the Midwest, he believes it is time to reinvigorate aspects of the culture that seem to be forgotten in the modern hustle.....one of them being the MC battle. Together with the minds of Rose Up Productions (the lovely ladies that brought you Freak In Fridays), we are setting out to build and foster the real deal...this is about coming together as a community - putting down your promotional flier, your cell phone, the cd your grinding, your paper and pen - and engaging each other in the essence of what hip hop is - creating in the moment with nothing but your skills, and each other. TCBL is also about stepping up your game in a city that has so much talent that goes unrecognized and so much recognized talent that has gotten lazy. So yeah...that's a challenge...all in the name of love, peace, and hip hop.This is how it works: If you want to battle, show up at the Blue Nile between 9 and 11:00pm to sign up - there are 12 slots to fill. Mc's will freestyle battle two at a time - 45 seconds each, then 1 minute each. And this is about freestyling - not spitting a prewritten flow! The winner of each round will be determined by a panel of guest judges. These winners will face off until the last mc standing who will go home with a $75 prize. This battle will happen every last Saturday of the month, unless otherwise noted, with the winners of the 1st 6 battles, going on to compete for a $250 cash prize and Twin Citites Battle League Series Champion. Any questions? Hit us up with a message. Let the Battle commence!
