VIENNA,
Austria – Known throughout the nation as “The Official Sport of MC Battling,”
the MC WAR hip hop competition is the first and only professional organization
to provide emcee battlers an official platform for performing. With HARMAN’s AKG microphones and wireless
systems, Amir James, COO and Arall Charles, CEO MC WAR, brings the nation’s top
free style battlers to the stage for the ultimate unscripted hip-hop
competition.
“Rap
battles have become a phenomenon, drawing countless fans around the nation, who
continue viewing these battles online hundreds of millions of times,” stated
James. “What was once known as a
subculture has taken the mainstream hip-hop industry by storm, being featured
in numerous television specials and movies, which reinforces our work to bring
battles and our MCs to the spotlight.”
All
artists on stage utilize a variety of AKG products during the battles – four
WMS4500 wireless systems and assortment of AKG D5 dynamic microphones and C214
microphones.
MC WAR separates itself from the many other battle leagues through its
format as an official sport. Unlike
other leagues whose format has no real structure, MC WAR has a referee, panel
of judges, scoring system and a set of strict rules and regulations that
include timed rounds, rounds based on musical bars, a cappella rounds and
rounds over instrumentals. MC WAR is the
oldest Battle organization with its initial launch taking place in Atlanta in
1999 as M.I.C. CHECK Lyrical Boxing until its re-launch as M.C. W.A.R. in
October of 2002.
“As
the world opens its eyes and ears to our art, the demand for precision and
quality among the audience and artists themselves continues to expand,”
continued James. “We were looking for the
perfect microphone and AKG provides us with the confidence that MC WAR will
give artists a powerful voice and fans a great show.”
