Hip-Hop Karaoke | Toronto
Before you go to another karaoke night at your local bar, where you're bound to hear wannabe renditions of "I Will Survive," "Ice Ice Baby," and "Save The Best For Last," why not tone down the cheese and turn up the beats with HIP-HOP KARAOKE instead?
Hip-hop karaoke is the chance for closet MCs to finally grab the mic and bust out their favorite raps on stage with an accompanying DJ. The event started in New York in December 2004 by J. New, DJ Wex and Digs. And now hip-hop karaoke has caught on around the world with nights in London, Brighton, Bristol, Iceland, and Toronto.
Toronto's hip-hop karaoke event is hosted by Never Forgive Action at The Boat. The night promises no attitude and just good fun for both seasoned hip-hop veterans and casual fans.
So, forget the cheese. Seriously, nobody needs to hear you try and belt out Mariah! And step up to the mic at hip-hop karaoke.
HIP-HOP KARAOKE
Feb. 15, 9 p.m.
