RTB Open Mic & Cypher – 3 Kingz (2Badda, Craze & Logic) Headline & JK Salama Champion

RTB Open Mic & Cypher – 3 Kingz (2Badda, Craze & Logic) Headline & JK Salama Champion

Manchester it’s time to bring rap back to its roots!

For too long underground rappers turn up to open mics full of indie bands and singers, with no place to showcase their talent.

That’s why we’ve decided to Raise The Bar!

Rappers have got 9 minutes to shell it on the mic, impress the crowd and gain the chance to win a paid champion set at our next event.

You lot in the crowd, we haven’t forgot about you!

The first 10 people who turn up on the night will be offered the important role of being our judges and play an important part of selecting our next champion!

3 Kingz (2Badda, Craze & Logic) headline RTB and will bring his exceptional vibes to the stage! We’re excited to see what they have in store for us!

And we can’t forget, last months winner JK Salama will be in the champion slot for her paid set after shutting down the open mic last month 🎤

And let’s not forget, the rap scene would not be the same without our producers so we gotta put them on.

We’ll have some on Manny’s top producers sending in some of their hardest beats to be used for the late night cypher with Diligent Fingers where anyone can pick up the mic and spray.

£5 on the door!

GOOD BOY NIKKO/KODAK KID/ BOOKICKZ

Sweat your cares away.

GOOD BOY NIKKO/KODAK KID/ BOOKICKZ

A night of genre-blurring sounds and Northern spirit, bringing together four of the region’s most compelling rising artists, each with their own world, united on one stage.

Good Boy Nikko craft surreal, shimmering alternative city-pop – fusing disco grooves, dreamy textures and emotionally charged storytelling into immersive live sets that feel nostalgic yet forward-thinking.

Kodak Kid blends baritone warmth with hip-hop, jazz and indie influences, delivering melancholic, groove-led songs that balance introspection with laid-back, late-night energy.

Foxglove bring euphoric, female-fronted indie pop – dreamy, uplifting and rich with heart – turning vulnerability into soaring, feel-good anthems.

Boo Kickz rounds out the bill with fearless confidence and crowd-connecting charisma, transforming every room into a shared celebration of self-belief and raw expression.
