Flow Lounge - The Bay's First $200 Weekly Rap Writing Contest and Cypher

Flow Lounge is more than a rap contest—it’s a takeover of time and space. Doors open at 8 PM, and the room is already cracking with raw energy by the time the 10 PM battle drops. Pull up early to stake your claim in the cipher, soak in spinning records from our community DJs, and watch live graffiti—because the culture doesn’t wait for a schedule. The contest is free and first-come, first-served (or lock in your spot now by registering at www.HipHopForTheFuture.org), but you don’t have to spit a single bar to feel this. Whether you’re an MC, a breaker, a DJ, a graffiti head, or just somebody hungry for unfiltered Hip Hop—Flow Lounge is for you. Show up at 8, be part of a space that white supremacy tried to erase, and witness our voices and our art rise before the night even officially begins. The art, the beats, the community—all of it is free. All you need to bring is yourself.
