MC Point Blank has won the viciously contested Kenyan leg of Emcee Africa 2 that happened on Saturday 6th June at Club Clique. Point Blank has earned himself not only the bragging rights as the tightest MC in Kenya in 2009 but will represent Kenya at the Finals of Emcee Africa 2 in July where he will go against the finalists of Botswana, South Africa, Ghana and Nigeria.
By 9am on Saturday morning over 50 MCs flocked to Baricho Road to register for the competition. The judges Mwafrika, Doobeez and Nazizi went through each one of them giving them an option of showcasing their free styling or doing a written song. From that showcase the judges had to find 10 MCs who had what it took to represent Kenya at the finals of Emcee Africa just as Big Mic did last year.
This year the competition went further to add an element of songwriting and speed with ‘Who Run It’. During the songwriting section of the event MCs were given a selection of beats to which they would create songs. It was during the ‘Who Run It’ section that things got heated up with MCs going for each other’s necks.
Point Blank a WAPI board member says that he owes his stage confidence to the never ending practice at WAPI every other month. You have a chance to watch this performance on Channel O every Sunday evening at 7pm (CET).
