About This Event

Manchester it’s time to bring rap back to its roots! For too long underground rappers turn up to open mics full of indie bands and singers, with no place to showcase their talent. That’s why we’ve decided to Raise The Bar! Rappers have got 9 minutes to shell it on the mic, impress the crowd and gain the chance to win a paid champion set at our next event. You lot in the crowd, we haven’t forgot about you! The first 10 people who turn up on the night will be offered the important role of being our judges and play an important part of selecting our next champion! The spynal Records collective headlines RTB and will bring exceptional vibes to the stage! We're excited to see what they have in store for us!  And we can’t forget, last months winner NdoubleII will be in the champion slot for his paid set after shutting down the open mic last month 🎤 And let’s not forget, the rap scene would not be the same without our producers so we gotta put them on. We’ll have some on Manny's top producers sending in some of their hardest beats to be used for the late night cypher with Diligent Fingers where anyone can pick up the mic and spray. £5 on the door! Hit us up on Insta for more info @RaiseTheBarMCR
