The Dopes Save Hip-Hop
Hip-hop is in trouble, yo…
But fear not, music fans. Two guys from Macclesfield, Cheshire, have stepped up and are ready to take one for the team.
Ladies and gentlemen… it’s THE DOPES!
THE DOPES SAVE HIP-HOP is a funky ’n’ funny, fully original live hip-hop spectacular featuring fresh beats, red-hot rhymes, cutting-edge (and questionable) choreography, and jams about subjects other emcees fear to confront.
Bingo. Crumpets. Travel agents. Hormone patches. Giraffes.
It’s the real deal, boi. Like orange peel.
(Bonus free lyric sample.)
Part gig, part comedy show and part public service, it’s an hour of boomin’ beats and heroic poses that’ll change your life, man.
111% GUARANTEED FRESH. EACH AND EVERY TIME!
