"Your Always On The Internet Bitching Bout The Scene, But When Anything Happens Your Nowhere To Be Seen"

Following those immortal words of Mr. Jee4ce that ended his Deadwax freestyle taken from the Tapedekrock Compliation Album that was a free download HERE I feel it's necessary to show my face tonight at the Pavillion for one of the first Irish Hip Hop events of 2008 in Belfast. And because my conscience is still burning from missing the BCB Breakers event last month I'll be there in all my glory tonight.

Marc Stretch (Foreign Legion) has travelled all the way from Oakland, California to host the Open Mic Night tonight in Belfast. And 'ITF World Scratch Champion 2003' DJ Flip will spinning tunes behind the wheels of steels throughout the night. Shoutout to Suspectpromotions for organising this, it should be a great night. Hope to see everyone there!

Doors: 9pm and £5 in
