Everyone likes a good competition, and on Friday night fans of rap music are in luck as the Tip Top Deluxe Bar & Grille -- a unique and gem of a watering hole on the west side of the city - will host the Rap for a Stack contest.
A stack is a pile of cash, and, in this case, a $500 short stack for which area rappers, who have pre-signed up in advance of the event, will battle the night away in this High Rise United & Screaming Needle Tattoo & Body Piercing Studios joint production.
Hosted by local entrepreneur and MC performer Ajax Stacks, Friday’s Rap For A Stack has been created as a way to expose emerging artists to our music scene while also building up our local hip hop community.
The competition is three rounds and will only involve eight MC/groups in a single elimination format. What makes this event a thrill to behold is that Rap for a Stack will see performers bringing their A-game in this winner-take-all thrilling format set in one of my favorite venues in the city. Arrive early and enjoy a bite to eat from the bar’s kitchen.
Admission: $10 in advance, $12 at the door
