WE PROTECT THE CULTURE
A.B. and Cease believe in preserving the essence of Hip Hop by turning the spotlight on wordsmiths, lyricist, MCs and leaders of the new school who preserve the art of "dropping bars".
THE BARS MANIFESTO
We as a culture come from an era where lyrics pushed and drove the hip hop scene, when you had to have BARS to be respected amongst the MC’s and just sounding good wasn’t enough. You had to have the looks and the talent to be able to get on the microphone and rap about your own unique story. Whether it was on a stage, a radio station, on the block, at school or in your local neighborhoods, your lyrics meant everything. It was “Skills Over Politics”. Before you heard the hit singles, people wanted to know if you can rap, this was the purest form of hip hop. Seeing that part of our culture in danger of being diluted, Cease and A.B. created a show to keep the essence of our hip hop pure. Building a platform where you get to see your favorite industry and underground artists display their lyrical abilities on a show dedicated to the power of vocabulary. Back in the good days you had shows like Bobbito and Stretch, Rap City The Basement, VH1 Raps, 106 and Park Freestyle Fridays, Funk Flex and now we bring to you Bars On I-95.
