Team Boston: Poet @amandasheallday, Poet @d.ruff3, MC @brandieblaze, MC @therealseefour
How it works: Poets will go head-to-head with Emcees in a friendly, all-Pace and all-Love "battle"; competitors are REQUIRED to hug (or dap or show each other love in some way) to emphasize the bridging of gaps and culture. Each artist is encouraged to perform their best work - at the end of each round, the audience cheers wildly, throws money, stomps on the floor and goes wild for their favorite performance!
What do you win?!: Bragging rights! Connections, new friends, networking. Healing people's hearts. Saving someone from a messed-up relationship. These are all the things you really win! Then, you get to IG Story & TikTok all your friends and tell them you won your round and your team won the battle! In most shows, the winners of each round get to choose between a mystery envelope with a modest cash prize and/or some Poetry vs. Hip-Hop (PvHH) swag. YAY! Chicken and Waffles for everyone!
At the end of the show: Audience members are introduced to the best Poetry, Spoken Word & Hip-Hop your perspective city has to offer. You will leave feeling empowered and light-hearted, cheering, hugging and taking pictures with everyone! The artists are reminded they are the pulse of their community and continue to be inspired to produce great works to heal the world.
...and our small, touring, crew that makes up PvHH goes back to our hotel room, or Airbnb or someone's home who was kind enough to house us ... feeling fulfilled and exhausted .... ready to plan our next trip! (Hint...hint... this means bring us to your city!)
