RTB Open Mic and Cypher

RTBMCR are driving the underground rap scene in Manny bringing you the hottest rappers and producers Manny has to offer. Be a part of the movement.

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!

Kingxton, a man on the rise in Manchester who blends his rap with his cultural influences to bring you a unique sound to give you, will be headlining our first venture at the new venue Aatma! Ryan Penno is the Champion for this month after winning the open mic at our last open mic.

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 DJ cypher with Dredar where anyone can pick up the mic and spray.

£5 on the door!
