Red Bull Soundclash This Sunday (ATL)

I'm about 110 percent sure that everyone in Atlanta knows about the Red Bull Soundclash event taking place this Sunday, November 14 but I just had to post the details on here in case some poor soul is out of the loop. From the description it sounds like Soundclash, which will feature both The Roots and Shiny Toy Guns, is more of a live mashing up of genre's rather than a battle of the bands. Details below...

Red Bull Emsee Battle Recap

Last night, Red Bull held their first-ever (don't quote me on that) Emsee Battle here in good ol' Atlanta, Georgia. The event was hosted by Dres Tha Beatnik and consisted of 10 emcee's freestyling based on images they were given. It consisted of three rounds, with round two consisting of only five emcee's and round three with only three emcee's. Judges for the event included rapper Talib Kweli, producer 9th Wonder, and Adeem.

A rapper named Manchild, who I personally wasn't really feeling, won the battle. And prior to them announcing the winners of the battle Talib Kweli hit the stage to perform about five songs. His energy was CRAZY!!

Be sure to check out my footage of Talib Kweli's performance because I actually did a good job filming this time!

Red Bull EmSee Event In ATL

September is truly turning out to be a great month for music, as far as album releases and events are concerned. Aside from the Slaughterhouse/Killer Mike and Goodie Mob shows happening later this month in ATL we also have the FREE Red Bull Emsee event going down on September 23.

The event, which will be an emcee battle revolving around images, will be judged by 9th Wonder, Adeem, and Talib Kweli. Talib Kweli will also be performing. Check out the flyer for more information.

Oh, and shout out to Senor Kaos for posting the info for this event on his blog.
