Been really busy with starting work again and getting back from Cuba so have only just had time to write about Culture Clash back in June. It Involved Eskimo Dance (a collection of the best in grime) VS Wiz Khalifa and Taylor Gang VS MixPax (a reggae/dancehall group) VS UKG Allstars (all the best garage artists).
1st round (Pressure Drops): Being a big fan of Garage I went supporting UKG Allstars with the likes of DJ Luck and Mc Neat, So Solid Crew, Oxide and Neutrino, and Majestic. UKG winning the first round, pulling out banger after banger as well as using a message from Danny Dyer to get the crowd going. All crews turned up with Eskimo Dance bringing out surprise acts such as Stormzy.
2nd round (The Selector): Won by Eskimo Dance bringing out Chip, Lethal Bizzle, Ghetts, Fekky, Wiley and many more. Taylor Gang used trash talking from Abmer Rose but this didnt win them the round despite getting a good reaction from the crowd.
3rd round (Sleeping With the Enemy): Won by Mixpac bringing out Big Narstie and blowing Eskimo Dance out of the water. Big Narstie taking his t-shirt off and leaving the crowd lit, helping to win Mixpac the Round. Mixpac weren't the only ones to leave Eskimo Dance shocked with Wiz Khalifa and Taylor Gang bringing out Ice Kid who killed Eskimo Dance.
4th round (Armageddon): Won by Mixpac meaning that they took the trophy. Playing 2 last dubplates to win the clash. Pulling out a Drake ‘One Dance’ dubplate which killed the competition and left the crowed partying and leaving Mixpac with the win. Following the lead up to the clash I didn't see Mixpac taking it, however on the night they turned up and took the trophy by winning the crowed over and knowing clash culture.
