Beat Root 2010 Grand Championships

It’s that time…

In 2009, the Beat Root Producers beat battle held their version of a year long elimination tournament to decide who’s the dopest producer in Hawaii.  In the end, Ely, TKO, Chris I, Devious, DJah, and Earwig Origami made it through the battles and have reached the pinnacle.  This Saturday, they’ll duke it out for the Grand Championship.  The winner of this battle joins Ques and Laels Beats as a Beat Root Grand Champion.

Alongside of the big battle, Joe Dub, Sentr1c, NoMasterBacks, Joe Gosalvez, Oliver Twist, DJ Observ and KTC will be performing throughout the evening.  Philippe Anthony will also be rocking the live painting tip.

This all goes down this Saturday night at the Fresh Cafe Warehouse.  Doors open at 9pm for those 18+.  It’s $7 for 18+, $5 for 21+.
