News Back To Archives News   Prev    Next U.K Takeover Published on 30 April, 2006 Email To Friend  BBC 1xtra DJs Mistajam and Rodney P have signed on to host UK Takeover 4, one of the largest independent British Hip-Hop showcases. The main event will be held May 29 in Nottingham, at Rock City. Headlining artists include Kano, Klashnekoff, Jehst, Professor Green and MOBO award winner Sway. The showcase was launched in 2003 by Mistajam and UK Hip-Hop producer Joe Buddha. "The idea behind the UK Takeover was one that my business partner Joe Buhdha came up with after noticing that the crowds we were deejaying to across the country were noticeably segregated along lines of race, background and class depending on who else was on the bill with us," UK Takeover creator Mistajam told press. "While the audience [was] segregated, the music was the same so we decided to organize an event that would bring all factions of British Hip-Hop together," he added. "It's a concept that has worked and each event has gone from strength to strength, each one getting the cross section of the audience we wanted." The two day event will also consist of a 60-Second Assassin Emcee Battle, hosted by UK rapper Blade, as well as a chance for DJs to battle to appear at this year's DMC DJ Championship finals.
