Battle of the Year – Balkans - 6th Annual Competition

U.S. Rap Artist Akil the MC performs in Thessaloniki

On May 11, American rap artist Akil the MC at the annual Battle of the Year – Balkans performed at a concert sponsored by the U.S. Consulate General.  The concert was part of an annual break dance competition, which attracts an audience of youth from around the Balkans interested in Hip Hop culture.  The winning team, from Athens, will travel to the “Battle of the Year – World” in Germany.   

Akil also spoke to a group of young students at the Pinewood International School of Thessaloniki on the positive message of the hip hop culture.
