So you think you can ad lib? St. Maarten rappers will next Saturday put their wits to the test to crown a local king of freestyle with its latest show.
Called FreeStyle 2k9, Laugh Out Loud (LOL) Productions pits rappers against each other in three rounds on Saturday, August 29, testing their song-crafting talent and freestyle skills. Only one can walk away at the top, LOL said Tuesday. “The artists will go head to head in a freestyle battle for bragging rights to be crowed the Freestyle King 2009 champion,” LOL said in a press statement.
In the first round, performers compete with an original song. And then it gets tougher: in the second round, “they will have to rap about an object given to them on that night and the final round comprises of a freestyle battle,” LOL said.
LOL hosts shows like ‘So You Think You Can Model?’ and ‘Rock the House.’
Comedian Yarlin Woodley is slated to host and three-time Rock the House top DJ Reggie “DJ Vlaun” Vlaun will be spinning. Tickets are available at Van Dorp and from the performers; they cost $10.
