UNDERGAME RAP BATTLE

UnderGame Rap Battle is a live MC competition where words, technique, delivery and respect for hip-hop culture define the outcome.

This is not a concert and not a noise showcase — it is a space for honest confrontation between styles, experience and character.

Every line matters.

Every round is judged by people who have lived this culture themselves.

What the Night Is About

The evening is built as a full-scale hip-hop event, not just a rap battle.

Visitors experience:

— venue opening and community gathering

— All Styles dance battles (1x1 format)

— BMX & Skate cash contests

— DJ sets and stage warm-up

— two main rap battles on the Main Stage

— final moments, results and closing

You’re not just attending a battle — you’re stepping into the culture.

Main Battles

FTB vs TRINOPASTER

EPİ vs …

Both battles follow the same structure.

No advantages. No favoritism. No shortcuts.

Host

The night is hosted by REMO — a representative of Azerbaijan’s underground rap culture and former member of Rap Out Clan.

He is not on stage to perform.

He is there to control the rhythm of the night, maintain balance, and protect the spirit of competition and respect.
