Rappers will battle it out at Paisley music venue

A Paisley newsagent has teamed up with bosses at a Paisley venue to promote a rap and hip-hop event.

Staff at The Bungalow, in Shuttle Street, will work with Rehman Afzal – who owns convenience store RSA – alongside organiser Darren Scott present‘Ground Zero’.

It will be held in the Shuttle Street venue on Saturday, July 8, from 8pm.

An organiser said:“Crowds can expect to witness rap battles between 12 different MCs through-out the night and the winner being presented with a £200 cash prize.

“Local DJ‘Big Div’will be launching sounds all night long, with more additions to the night due to be announced over the coming weeks. Beatboxers are also welcome to take to the stage.

“Rehman added:“I have always been interested in expressive music such as hip hop and rap.

“The Scottish scene in comparison to the English scene has been lacking in the mainstream.

“Paisley is an integral musical hub in Scotland it would only be fitting for the Scottish talents to take centre stage in the Bungalow Paisley, which will no doubt create noise and inspire people.

“Paisley having had turbulent times socially, music such as this can unite people and in many occasions be helpful to the mind and soul.”
