The Philly Hip-Hop community has peacefully rallied around this event for the past 6 years since the incident between rival camps on South Street in 2012. This year saw a similar altercation between rival crews that was bad enough to end the show.

K-Dubb
Ka-Vona “K-dubb” Pringle was born and raised in the uptown section of Philadelphia. Being a protégé of the music industry - hearing her mother sing, watching her older sister pursue a career as an R&B singer, and having other family members in the industry - K-dubb found her niche in her early years.
In elementary school, she was a member of the performing arts program where she studied acting, singing and dance. While attending high school at Parkway Northwest, she was given the name “K-dubb” by her friends and began writing R&B songs. K-dubb quickly realized her potential as an artist and lyricist.
Shortly after entering into the game, K-dubb was robbed and shot in the face, which left her mouth wired shut for months. This incident discouraged her (but only temporarily).
K-dubb decided to further her education and enrolled in Penn State University to pursue a degree in psychological and social sciences. Upon achieving her academic goals and also having a child, K-dubb realized something was still missing out of her life, and that was making music.
She quickly got back on track with making music and pursing her dream as a rap artist. K-dubb’s style is inspired by her mother, her sister, the Late Aaliyah, Missy Elliot, Lauryn Hill, Beyonce, Lil Kim and Eve. As she continues to hone her craft, K-dubb not only remembers where she’s been but she knows where she’s going.
