ROOTED IN RHYME - MIF

MIF teams up with Unity Radio and Manchester Hip Hop Archive to bring you the present and future of hip hop – live at MIF21

Join us for a journey deep into Manchester’s hip hop underground – with a packed line-up taking in everything from urban pioneers to emerging grassroots talent.
Manchester’s very own DJ Semtex, one of the UK’s true hip hop legends, will be live and direct on the night. There’ll be sets from SVMI, Lady Ice, Rago Loco and Victoria Jane, among the city’s most dynamic emerging acts – together with DJ sets from DJ G-A-Z, Best DJ at the Urban Music Awards 2020, and Unity’s DJ Basha. Due to unforeseen circumstances Culps is no longer able to perform at this event.
We’re presenting this packed one-night festival in partnership with Manchester station Unity Radio and the Manchester Hip Hop Archive – which will be launching with a special free exhibition at Central Library in July celebrating 40 years of Manchester hip hop heritage, from Ruthless Rap Assassins to Aitch and beyond. Stay tuned for more details…
