If you’re in the Los Angeles area between May 1st-3rd and you love true hip hop, don’t slack and buy a ticket to TeamBackPack‘s annual event “Mission Underground“. TBP has made a name for itself predominately on the West Coast and every year the company throws one of LA’s biggest Hip Hop events. Throughout the three days, you’ll be able to experience a live beat show, TBP heavy hitters performances, live cyphers, and their annual live cypher tryouts. Their event will be held at Mad Ave in L.A. and is expected to have a turnout of 1,500+ guests per day.

Make sure to check out their promo video for the event, Portland’s MC Illmaculate spit in preparation for the festivities, and one of their biggest cyphers featuring Passionate MC, E Money, and Jeff Turner from their 2014 concert down below. Also, make sure to buy your tickets in advance right here before they sell out.

I’m lookin down on you from the top of the food chain
This is TeamBackPack, we the new Wu-Tang

TeamBackPack are back at it again with another region-blending cypher with their “LAX to JFK” series. This time around they bring together MC’s Obvi (Rohnert Park, Cali.), Koncept (Brooklyn/Queens, NY), and Peoples (Bay Area, Cali.). The three rapped over the J57 produced instrumental, brother to Koncept as they both rep the Brown Bag Allstars camp. All three MC’s went off in their own unique way, and Peoples definitely finished off the entire clip the right way. Make sure to check TBP’s website here for more cyphers in the future as well.

Everyone knows I pack it the fuck out like Noah’s Ark
And spit a flow that can break the composure of a Royal Guard

In TeamBackPack‘s newest installment they make sure to connect Canada, Seattle and New York by creating a cypher featuring some of their most prominent up-and-coming MC’s: Raz Fresco (BKR$CLB), Aaron Cohen (Inner City Kids) and FinaL OutlaW.

Known for their eclectic mix of artists from different backgrounds and differentiating styles, the new TBP cypher showcases just that in a grand way. All three MCs spit their best over a production also created by Raz Fresco. Make sure to check out the immense amount of bars down below and stay tuned for their future projects. Fresco has already linked up with legendary Duck Down Records and Aaron Cohen is prepping his visit to a couple stages in France and Belgium for his “You Wouldn’t Know” tour. Hip hop’s underground doesn’t plan on staying in the underground for too long!
