Leeds Hip Hop Scene

Having announced a headline tour in August to celebrate the release of his single ‘Bizzle Bizzle/’Babylons Burning The Ghetto’ on 16th July and the hotly anticipated album ‘Back To Bizznizz’ released on 23rd July, Lethal Bizzle has announced an exciting tour competition.

Lethal is giving the chance for one lucky act to open for him each night of his UK tour. A competition will run in each town of the tour to find the band/artist which he will handpick to open the show.

Bizzle is the most prolific, exciting rapper to emerge from the UK underground scene in recent years and as a fan of all types of music, has been leading the way for the indie/grime crossover. He is a NME magazine favourite and has performed tracks with The Rakes, Pete Doherty, Test Icicles, Gallows, Babyshambles and The Enemy.

The competition is open to all genre’s whether they be a singer, band or MC. Lethal is looking for fresh and exciting new talent and hopes the range of music to be vast and interesting.

All entrants must send their demo, name & contact details, a myspace address and the city they want to perform in to:

Box 1231, 78 York Street, London, W1H 1DP
CLOSING DATE 23RD JULY

Support across the dates comes from Skinny Man http://www.myspace.com/mcskinnyman, L Dot man www.myspace.com/ldotmanmusic and a DJ set from Statik.

Statik has worked with an impressive list of rock and indie bands, was featured in NME’s cool list of 2006, is the pioneer of Grindie and worked on Lethal’s new album (’Back to Bizznizz’ released 23rd July). His DJ set will be a mix of rock/ indie/ grime and hip hop www.myspace.com/statikmusic
