Registration is OPEN FOR THE JANUARY 22nd, 2010 Show At Shadow Lounge
Rhyme Calisthenics is an MC competition that combines the intensity of a rap battle with the excitement and unpredictability of a game show. While rap battles only require one skill – the ability to diss one’s opponent – Rhyme Calisthenics is the true test of an MC’s versatility, creativity and swagger.
Our competition is based around our six foot game show wheel known as “The Wheel of Skillz.” The Wheel has 12 different rap challenges designed to test a wide range of real life rap skills from freestyles to writtens, from concepts to delivery.
In each competition 16 MC’s compete in four elimination rounds. And yes the final round is a classic head-to-head battle but you have to go up against “The Wheel” in three rounds before you get to the battle. In each round a panel of three judges award scores and determine who advances and who gets eliminated. Judges award points in three categories: originality/creativity, delivery/swagger, and execution of the challenge. In the event of a tie the crowd is the tie-breaker. The winner walks away with cash money, prizes and ultimate bragging rights.
Rhyme Calisthenics was founded in Pittsburgh in 2007 and in 2009 the Rhyme Calisthenics circuit expanded to include New York, Philadelphia and Chicago. Rhyme Calisthenics is open to all MC’s, rappers, freestylists, poets and anyone else who is fresh enough and brave enough to take on the Wheel of Skillz. If you think you have what it takes to be a Rhyme Calisthenics Champion then go to our registration page and fill out the form.
