End of the Weak MC Challenge: Sunday 13th April

Next End of the Weak UK MC Challenge, Sunday 13th April @ The Rhythm Factory / White Chapel

MCs: M9ine (Triple Darkness) Iron Braydz (Blind Alphabetz) Fliptrix Conflix (Chain of Command) Mic Righteous (The Kraftsmen) Saint (Jump Off)

For those who dont know, this is a SICK line up.

M9ine with his group Triple Darkness will be supporting Methodman & Redman in the coming fortnight. His High Fidelity MixCD received critical acclaim on its release & the Triple Darkness LP about to drop is going to set them in stone as one of the UKs finest Hip Hop groups.

Iron Braydz is off the same caliber, as one half of Silent Sounds signing Blind Alphabetz, Braydz has recorded and performed with M1 (Dead Pres), Sean Price, Akir & many leading UK artist. he is also currently an artist in resident at the Royal Festival Hall. Check for the Blind Alphabetz Luvolution LP out soon & solo projects coming soon.

Fliptrix is on the verge of his second solo LP & has been a consistent live performer for over 5 or 6 years. His recent Force Fed Imagery LP is a showcase of serious delivery and strong song writing, comes highly recommended.

Conflix. Any one who knows about SpeakersCorner should know about Conflix by now. He is infamous amongst underground enthusiast for his unique wordplay and clever phrasing. In the past year along with Triple Darkness, Conflix toured as part of Chain of Command supporting leading US acts including Jedi Mind Tricks, Styles P, Ra the Rugged Man & Saigon to name only a few. His Character Assassin Mix CD series co produced with Chemo are a glowing testament to homegrown Hip Hop.

Mic Righteous may be weighing in as an unknown wildcard but il give fair warning now an say that this kid is Hungry!! He is the newest member of The Kraftsmen & he is sick with it. Triple time flows at live shows are unbelievable. The future lays with talent like this, check him out on Frantic Franks Hardway LP dropping next week, serious stuff.

Saint. The final challenger of EOW:UK Heat 2 is no stranger to the sordid world of the MC Battle, you can catch him all over the JumpOff world rap championships, BattleScars etc etc, give him a mic an he?ll eat it. Saint. You should already know. There is no weak links in this challenge but only one will brake through for the chance to rep UK in the International Final 2008. I cant call it, can you? Also!! Exclusive to this event.. Live Acts!!

While your waiting for the result to be announced on the night we have the mighty Mystro performing a one time only live set with the SpeakersCorner Quartet (who have recently been compared to J Dilla, Stravinski & John Coltrane. This is no small thing. Mystro returning from Australia only the day before in time for a quick rehearsal with the Quartet. Look out for his F*ck The Tax Man LP coming very very soon!
