BIGScene Tv Frontline News - TIGGA & BIZZ

BIGscene Tv launches another Frontline video from Durham City Cliques very own Bizzman & Tigga!

 Bizzman and Tigga, both part of Durham's City Clique featured on our latest Frontline episode. The back to back performance from two of Durhams most desired mc's was a great set to film and BIGscene Tv has high hopes that the episode will gain massive exposure.

City Clique is a group of mcs and producers from the North East's Grime & Hiphop scene, who have come together high quality songs that have the whole of the North East talking.

Bizzman, one of City Cliques founders, has been quoted to have an "Interesting" and "Unique" style of mcing being a mix of grime and "Fun". Tigga, who has released songs such as 'Long Time Coming'* which features Bizzman, was a great new addition to our network having not performed on a Frontline before. If you haven't already seen Bizzman's first Frontline then where have you been?! Here it is, check it out!

VerseS Round 2 Hits BIG!

VerseS round 2 a bigger hit than Chisora took from David Haye ! 

Hauntin in Action
The live performances from some of the North East's finest as well as some of its most followed up and coming acts sent the crowd into a frenzy. VerseS, which took place at  Empire Middlesbrough's Lounge Room, could not have been more packed with people having to listen to some of the performances from outside the door!

A big hit for the crowd was latest up and coming hardcore Boro fan Hauntin, with his high energy performance which basically spilled fans onto the front of the stage. Hauntin was accompanied by his travelling ghost army including Middlesbrough football club's ultras group Red Faction who, along with Hauntin and their football chants between songs, created an inspiring ambiance.

VerseS host and organiser BLUNT!
Another great performance was from VerseS host and organiser BLUNT! who also battled against Danny Life later that evening. His raw Hip hop flows and passion was in harmony with the crowd who all attended in support of the North East hip hop scene.

As if the energy of these acts wasn't enough... the response for the rap battles that took place later that evening was one word... epic.

The battle lineups were varied, with a mix of experienced 'veterans' Rhymeotaur, Mayan Ransom, Danny Life as well as a few fresh starters including Bible of Beatz and Bam the Bastard.

It seemed the majority of the North East hip hop following attended the event, and some known faces were spotted amidst the crowd including Middlesbrough's rap duos Leddie & Smoggy, and Twisted Dialect. It's clear to see that an event like this is what the North East needs to bring the Hip Hop scene together. Many, including us here at BIGscene Tv, just cant wait for Round 3 !


BIGScene Tv is a proud sponsor of VerseS and has exclusive coverage of the event. Look out for the footage release soon!
