Word of Mouth presents Battlegrounds

Portsmouth Hip-Hop promoters/label Word of Mouth are bringing the spirit of 8 Mile to Albert Road with a new freestyle rap tournament night, Battlegrounds. Whether you're a budding Q-Tip or a fully fledged DMX (yes, I've heard of them) the stage is open for all-comers to throw down. If the guest judges rate your flow then you could emerge victorious, crowned the Battlegrounds Champion, walking away with some "epic prizes".

The tournament begins this Friday, 8th February, at The Loft (above The Kings pub) on Albert Road with DJs Supernova and Joey Kong providing the beats. If you fancy channelling your inner Andy Cooper, and have the chutzpah to take on a Portsea Island Busta Rhymes, then you can sign up on the night and step into the ring.

Doors open at 1900, with £3 entry before 2000, and ID is required.
