Part 1 of 5. 30 different rappers gettin down down down to business. Rhymefest rocking off the top? Damnn.
We filmed this event last Spring at Leaders1354 on Wells and we invited close to 30 emcees to participate. The Experiment was hosted by PHLI-guy Dave Jeff, with Jay iLLa handling the DJ duties. We told the emcees to arrive and be prepared to spit a quick sixteen – however, I’m not sure they knew they were going to be in a room of their rapping peers. The public was not invited, and besides a few lucky patrons, it was only rappers in the room.
The emcees were picked in small groups (around 5 for each segment), and the first to grab the mic were Rhymefest, Pugs Atomz, Que B.I.L.L.A.H., Phil G & Big Wiz. And all rappers spit over Chicago beats.
