RHYME SPITTERS

Rhyme Spitters is a Chicago-based, MC freestyle tournament and documentary film event. Four documentaries were made between 2004 and 2007. These events showcase and capture the brilliance of Chicago freestyle battling. The point of the tournament is to find the best and celebrate their skills. Nothing compares to the intensity of two veteran MCs battling, and when they step on stage they’re not just risking their reputations as wordsmiths or as critical observers of life and their opponents, they’re putting on the line something essential at their core. Call it their ego, call it their energy. Either way, it’s connected to their soul.
