This weekend, the halls of Famous Studios at Mahalaxmi will witness a different vibe pass through its gates. Hip-hop has always been the unofficial rhythm to the city’s staccato beats, and the studio will host Simba Uproar, one of the largest festivals of the culture on city shores with artistes such as Prabh Deep, Dropped Out, Sugahunny and Chaar Diwari showing off their skills on stage.

The event marks the second edition of the festival. This time, the festival has expanded to include venues across six major cities such as Delhi, Bengaluru, Pune, Guwahati and the tri-city region of Punjab. The Mumbai leg on Saturday, will feature a host of experiences that provide a holistic view of the urban street culture that is hip hop. But hip-hop is not limited to rap. It includes dance, art and various forms of expression. For instance, the event will witness visual artist Chaitanya Dixit present; he will also rev up drift vehicles live at the venue. Throw in a curated beer selection and diverse food and dance showcases, and you have a festival for the young hip-hop generation to savour.
