Chicago’s New Rap Battle Hits the Moon

Chicago’s underground rap scene is about to explode at “To The MOOON,” a high-energy battle event this Saturday at Nubez Gallery, featuring 24 local rappers competing in three intense rounds—cypher, collaborative verse, and a full three-minute track—all while building community, networking, and winning big prizes. Hosted by five-time Emmy winner Sista Afrika and judged by hip-hop heavyweights like Taylor Bennett and GLC, the night blends raw talent with culture: live comedy, fashion, vendor stalls, and more. Designed to be inclusive and accessible, it’s not just about rhymes—it’s about opportunity. Tickets are $23.18, VIP upgrades available.
