Marshall Law vs Flawless
Here is the video of the emcee battle between Marshall Law and Flawless at the November 13th Elevation. Pardon the footage, we are still trying to find the best angle to document the event. This battle was dope regardless. Both emcees really brought their A game! The crowd decided that Marshall Law won the battle. What do you think? Who won?

Elevation the Open Mic Podcast: 10/02/09
Elevation is a monthly Open Mic / Hip Hop Showcase. Its also a monthly Podcast. We are proud to debut the first official Elevation Podcast. William Javier recorded the open mic, emcee battles, our features performers, and the cypher. He edited it down to one hour and nineteen minutes of pure Rhode Island hip hop audio goodness.
The Elevation podcast is hosted by Rock Solid. The beats are provided by Sterby Rock and William Javier (except when emcee brought their their own beats). The show features performances by: Rock Solid, Romen Rok, Wor Paint, HW, Vendetta, Boudy, Mic Feen, Big City Bumpus, Reason, Dirty Hank, Marshall Law, Science, Casper and CasUno.
Vendetta @ Elevation 10/02/09
Vendetta graced us with his ability to pick up the mic and destroy at Elevation this past Friday. Between his onstage performance and this quick flow on the side, we notice a level of lyrical integrety surprising and entertaining to the ear. Tune into the podcast to experience the impressive onstage sound and lyrics. Vendetta tore it up that night.
Big City Bumpus @ Elevation 10/02/09
Big City Bumpus is an impressive performer. This talented emcee smashed it on and offstage. He was able to capture the audience immediately. I’ve listened to other tracks from this gifted performer and noted a consistency in his impeccable style and lyrics. This is another emcee that I look forward to listening to in our future Elevation events.
Elevation – October Recap w/ Photos
Live hip-hop and an audience of smiling faces are rarely seen together nowadays, especially here in Rhode Island. That said; I can’t recall the last time a featured artist kicked off an evening wearing sun-tanning goggles. Romen Rok did exactly that while onstage at Friday night’s Elevation and set the tone for what went on to be an enjoyable, successful open mic night at Firehouse XIII.
Thanks to Rock Solid, who did a fine job of hosting as well as blessing the mic, and Sterby Rock performing scratchutory rape on the tables, the night continued on – and finished – without a moment of silence. Courtesy of some newer names (at least to myself), including Boudy, Wor Paint and Vendetta, and a few of the more recognizable rhyme-slingers, HW, Big City and Mic Feen, the open mic was nicely kept in balance and did a fine job of showcasing the aptitude of our locals.
