If you've never been before, this show does not happen on a stage, but inside of a boxing ring, making it the ultimate showcase of lyrical gladiators, with the audience surrounding the ring, eager to be enlighteneded and entertained.
Much like the March Madness basketball tournament, 16 poets will enter the ring, each with the hope of ending the night victorious.
Bishop Brigante, Hip Hop Artist, and past winner of BET's Freestyle Friday, MTV's Video on Trial's Trixx, and the Forgiveness Project's, Tara Muldoon, will be three of the five guest judges for this year's competition.
DJ Manifest will be the musical referee for the night, and the show will be hosted by Dwayne Morgan.
This show is the biggest literary spectable that the country has to offer. Past winners have been, The P.O.E. (Burlington), V (Ottawa), and Philosofly (Toronto), each taking home $500, the Championship belt, and bragging rights for a year.
The 2015 edition will feature artists from the GTA, Burlington, St. Catherines, Whitby, Buffalo, and Columbus, Ohio
