We return for the new season with an exclusive allstar transatlantic line up. Pioneer of the West Coast Beats scene meets UK Hip Hop legend in a venue that was always at the cutting edge of Hip Hop in Liverpool. Hailing from Los Angeles Ras G is a member of Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder stable and regular DJ at the legendary Low End Theory. He makes his Liverpool debut bringing his unique take on instrumental Hip Hop and dubbed out production that nods to the blunted boom bap of Madlib and the intergalactic jazz of Sun Ra.

Sharing the bill an artist who needs little introduction on these shores. The High Plains Drifter has been at the forefront of UK Hip Hop for over a decade and remains the freshest, most relevent homegrown wordsmith and producer. His latest LP ‘Dragon of an Ordinary Family’ and work with the likes of Kidkanevil and OM Unit has garnered support from DJs like Hudson Mohawke and Gilles Peterson, sharing stages with everyone from Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry to MF Doom.

Rounding off the bill we have YNR Stable mate and all round Hip Hop Junkie Micall Parknsun, ITF Turntable Champion Jazz T, Madnice Resident Sert One with his new live set and Bolts and Kwinzola bringing the turntable support. 
***PLUS***
Since we be bringing the illest British MC up to Liverpool we figured it was only right we showcase one of the illest crew of MC’s in town in the form of Children of the Damned! BIG. 

Spiritual Home to No Fakin from 1997, the Zanzibar has a rich History in Hip Hop with artists like Lootpack, Peanut Butter Wolf, Dilated Peoples, Maseo, Kool Herc and DJ Spinna gracing its stage and MADNICE is proud to be continuing the tradition.
