Ever since Hip hop started, Mcs have been battling. The battle is a friendly competition between two or more wordsmiths, where words are exchanged in order to 'move the crowd'. A true rapper knows how to hold it down, yet entertain the masses at the same time. Hip hop has evolved due to the amount of hype created by battles. Also, battles occur between b-boys, graffiti artists, and producers. Some do it for popularity, others do it to enhance their abilities. Whichever way we may look at battlin, it is a whole lot of fun.
I for one partake in battlin on a daily basis. Many rappers come from all over J-City, soweto and other hoods to freestyle with the Magic crew. We host Hip hop sessions every Friday, where talented unsigned artists perform to the Hip hop community. Some of the most hectic, skill-based battles happen at our sessions. This promotes unity amongst young people with equal ambition and dedication to Hip hop. Magic music is everything that is the sub-culture known as Hip hop. Rap music goes beyond social, cultural and racial differences. At the click of a button you can connect with Hip hop lovers all over the globe. Thanks to social networks like Facebook, Google Talk and Twitter, Hip hop is able to reach a greater audience. With that being said, I encourage the Rap community worldwide to join us in the evolution of Hiphop. Share music, videos and interesting links with the Magic fam.
