Hip Hop Congress to Host Battle in the Spring

SAN MARCOS, Texas, Nov. 19, 2011 -- Hip Hop Congress is hosting its fourth annual Epidemic battle April 18, 2012.

The event will take place at the Lyndon B. Johnson student center amphitheater at 6 pm on April 18, 2012 and is sponsored by Monster energy drink. There are multiple events that will be going on as the rap battle is taking place including vendor booths set up around the edge of the amphitheater as well as live graffiti.

“The Epidemic is aimed to shine light on the good side of rap music and graffiti,” Hip Hop Congress advisor Ariana Vargas said. “People come from Austin and San Antonio to be a part of this.”

Auditions will be held the same day as the battle and eight people will be chosen from those auditions. For more information on this event people contact the vice president of programs and marketing Mia Jackson at mj1205@txstate.edu.
