Events We Love :: Global Hip Hop Throwdown at CMJ

Our good friends at The Bloom Effect joined Nomadic Wax to bring you the best in global hip hop for this upcoming CMJ Marathon on October 22, 2009. They’ve selected top DJs, lyricists and visual artists to represent the Middle East, Europe, North Africa & North America.

This year’s event will be hosted by Blitz the Ambassador (Ghana) and will feature these international hip hop rising stars: Coolooloosh (Israel), La Melodia (Holland), Nomadic Massive (Canada/Haiti), At Versaris (Spain) and Alfaress (Morocco) as well as DJ Boo (Philippines/US) and DJ Phat Phillie (Croatia).

“CMJ is a perfect place for a global hip-hop event like this,” said The Bloom Effect CEO, Fiona Bloom. “An event that unites MCs from a variety of backgrounds, countries and nationalities is exactly the kind of event that we want to be promoting at a global music conference like CMJ. I’m still baffled that we’re the only showcase of its kind… We promise to deliver a night of historic measures.”
