Hip Hop Weekend 05
Pass the mic
The massive 1xtra Hip Hop Weekend continued in style when the cream of the UK's MCing talent were rammed into 1Xtra towers for a two hour freestyle blitz hosted by Rodney P, with the unmistakable sounds of Skitz on the decks.

To say things went off would be an understatement, so listen back to the show now for a phenomenal two hours of world-beating homegrown freestyle spitting.
