Lyrics cannot be divorced from Hiphop, which is why all time Hiphop
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 Hiphop.
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, Phenom 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.
