Event organiser Nkosinathi Zwane says: “We want to revive the rap culture, and this event will also be an opportunity to celebrate young and local talent.
“Because of the positive outcome we had last year, this year we decided to up the standard.
“The best MC will win R2 000 prize money, and, on the night, we will be looking for the best-dressed male and female, who will each win R1 000.
“The crowd will get to decide who our winners are. We are encouraging everyone to come and support local talent and they must dress to the nines,” he says.
