The Xrossfire: Two Sounds Clash coming soon.

Next month is officially the hour of evolution and solidarity designed to put the soul back in the city. Thanks to the team at Rakinos Bar & Cafe, we're glad to bring you a reggae/hip-hop exclusive entitled The Xrossfire: Two Sounds Clash due to launch on March 25th. If you're not familiar with this format, two DJ's and four MC's collide in old school, dancehall fashion. The idea of such a challenge originates from Jamaican pioneers like U-Roy, Prince Hammer, I-Roy and Rankin Trevor. We're looking to make this a monthly occurrance anchored by The1LikeFurious, DJ Locksteady, MC Arme and 5th Chyld including guests from around the country. Bella Shanti and Grass Roots will feature at the opening show. The concept has been put together in order to cater for lovers of urban and cultural music, very few venues in Auckland serve up this flavour of music so we see it more as filling a void that has long been ignored. Get ready, duck for cover and don't get caught in the crossfire.
