Rhyme Cal reaches Toronto!

Rhyme Calisthenics: The Official MC Competition has made its international debut in Toronto, Ontario.

Traveling from London, ON, rapper Casper garnered the night’s highest score with his performance of the Mackin’ challenge in the second round. His competitor, Tony Green, kept it close with unforgivingly raw rhymes, but in the end it was Casper’s positive and potent rhymes that impressed the panel of judges. Casper secured victory with an acapella in the final round, beginning his rhyme with “Listened to my daughter’s heartbeat and wrote a song to it”.

Casper is Canada’s first Rhyme Cal Champion! His new release, The Marcus Morris Mixtape Vol. 4, will be available on Nov.30 atTheComeUpShow.com. You can connect with Casper on Facebook and Twitter. Stay tuned to his YouTube channel for a new video that will be released later this week.
Extra special shout out to the event’s sponsors: Bad-Perm, Blasfome, The Come Up Show, Off The Strength, Timebomb Shop, TOgether Hip-Hop, Zolis Audio.

RhymeCal Pittsburgh Video Recap

On October 26th 8 MC's faced off against the Wheel of Skillz in one the best RhymeCal competitions to date. After 3 closely contested rounds 3PFD came out on top and took the grand prize.

New Rhyme Cal Champion!

Nov. 1 - A long-time competitor, Christian rapper 3PFD is now a Rhyme Calisthenics champion.

It was a hard fought battle in Pittsburgh, as 3PFD beared through a sudden death overtime in the first round that eliminated the round's lowest scoring MC. After a dope performance of the Mackin' challenge in the second round, judge Dos Noun called 3PFD "a portly casanova." Also impressive in round two was New Jersey native Tony Green, who rocked a Crowd Topics that challenged him to discuss Mitt Romney in his rhyme. With scoring tight, it wasn't until the final round that 3PFD secured his victory by tearing through the Word Bank challenge.

The event also marked the release of the first Rhyme Calisthenics mixtape. The tape includes exclusive music from Rhyme Cal champions Real Deal (Pittsburgh), Zone (Pittsburgh), Black Sun (Pittsburgh), ZEPS (NYC), Jadon (NYC), PremRock (NYC), and Voss (Philly). Also featured on the project are Homeboy Sandman, Has-Lo, Pack FM, C-Rayz Walz, Beedie, and J. Sands. The mixtape will be made available digitally on Monday, Nov. 5, via Rhyme Cal's bandcamp.
