On Thursday, October 25, SMS Audio, Sam Ash Music, Charged Up Studios, and Charged Up Entertainment will be coming together with Hip Hop VA to present The Rebirth: Beat Battle IX. This epic event will see hip hop producers from all over the local area coming together to compete head to head and see whose beats can rise above the rest. The panel of judges for this competition will include DJ Lonnie B, as well as A-Wall, the producer behind Trey Songz track "Don't Be Scared (featuring Rick Ross)," from his newest album, Chapter V. Winners will receive prizes from SMS Audio, creators of 50 Cent's new signature line of headphones, and from Sam Ash Music stores. The bill will also feature live performances from Noah O, Chance Fischer, and Charged Up Ent's Y.A.N.K.E.E., with DJ Swerve 360 spinning raw hip hop all night.
