PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!!!!!!


Yup. We are bringing back the "SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT" MC Battle!

For those that witnessed, participated, or heard about the first one, you already know.

If you don't know we had a packed house every night (including lots of "important" people), great talent, and alot of networking. In a word - successful.

So if you are interested in entering the 2nd edition of "SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT" you need to read up on these details. AND YOU BETTER READ THOROUGHLY SO YOU DON'T GET DQ'D!!!

This NOT a traditional head to head rap battle. This is a chance for you to showcase your material.

There will be 2 rounds and a final. All will be held at Fletcher's.

701 S Bond St. Baltimore, MD 21231

(410) 558- 1889

Round 1 will be March 4, round 2 March 5, and the finals on March 11. There will be approx. 16 acts on the first two rounds. Three winners from the first two rounds will be asked to come back and compete in the finals. If you have a preference on which day you would like to perform let me know and i will try my best to make it happen. I CAN'T MAKE ANY PROMISES THOUGH! Also we only have room for 32 acts. Unfortunatly not everyone that wants to compete will be able to.

Each act will get a 8 minute set. It is very important to not go over 8 min. We will have 16 acts each night so at 8 minutes YOUR MUSIC WILL STOP! You might want to make your set around 7 minutes to be safe. Should you place and advance to the finals you get a 20 minute set on the night of the final. Same deal. DO NOT GO OVER YOUR TIME LIMIT. Can't stress that enough.

You must arrive at Fletcher's on the day of your event NO LATER THAN 8 PM. We will draw names out of hat to determine the line up for the night...literally. That's the only way to make it fair. IF YOU SHOW UP LATE YOU WILL NOT COMPETE AND YOU WILL NOT BE REFUNDED YOUR ENTRY FEE. IF WE CALL YOUR NAME AND YOU DON'T RESPOND YOU WILL NOT COMPETE AND YOU WILL NOT BE REFUNDED YOUR ENTRY FEE.

There is a $40 entry fee. This gets you 20 tickets and a reserved slot in the battle. Do what you want with the tickets. We would like to see you sell them and get your $40 back, but it is up to you. Give them away if you want. BUT YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO DRAW YOUR 20 PEOPLE! Now I can't be running all over the state to deliver tickets to 32 different artists. So it is up to you to come meet Frank or myself. We are out and about the Baltimore area just about every night. If you can't meet up with us let us know ASAP and we will try to make arrangements. THE SOONER THE BETTER!

You will be judged by a panel of judges that will not be announced till the day of the event. They will be legit. Trust. You will be judged on stage prescence, crowd response, professionalism (this means how you handle business from the time you sign up to the end of the event...BE ON TIME...yeah I'm judging you on this one!), and overall performance.

What do you win?? One winner will go home with $500 CASH...AND open up for SLICK RICK on April 9 at Club 5 in Washington DC...AND open up for SLICK RICK again on April 11 at The Ottobar in Baltimore. WOW! Now you should know that even though only one winner takes the whole prize all will be observed by lots of people that can help advance your name and music. BELIEVE ME.

This is a BIG opportunity so let's blow this shit up!! Copy and paste the flyer on the bottom of this message and put it on blast!! Feel free to hit Frank or myself up about any questions you might have.
