Bring your crew.
Bring your claws.
Unleash your inner villain.
And when the final rap-off begins… just know: even your enemies will be cheering you on.
Get ready to unleash your inner monster at Shambala’s eighth Monster Rap Battle Workshop!
Join legendary teacher, poet, rap battler and ‘viral sensation Mark Grist for a monstrous rap workshop that’s bigger, louder, and wilder than ever.
Perfect for adults, kids, families, and fiends of all ages.
Whether you’re a rap rookie or a seasoned rhyme-slinger, Mark will guide you through the art of multi-syllabic rhyme and razor-sharp comebacks that’ll have your rivals howling. You’ll work in teams (or fly solo, if you’d prefer), building bars, bragging audaciously and speaking truth to power in a monster community that’s like no other.
This is our eighth year hosting the monster rap battle, and it’s one of the most joyous, memorable and supportive events of the festival – where returning baddies and brand-new beasts cheer each other on right to the final throwdown. Last year Rick Sanchez wowed with a furious freestyle, Scar made a powerful case against Mufasa, and Ms. Trunchbull snatched the crown (before hammer-tossing it into her trophy case).
But which baddie will win this year? Could it be you?
