BOTY ★ BeatBox Battle Of The Year

UAF – Urban Art Festival

BOTY - BeatBox Battle Of The Year

Beatbox has grown enormously worldwide in the last ten years. The Belgian beatboxing scene has increased not only in quantity but also in potential. A few years ago we could only dream of being part of the top 16 in the world. But now, with FootboxG aka Tim Vdb, who put the Belgian beatbox on the international map, this is no longer a dream. While in the past the focus was mainly on Hip-Hop, it is now on a much wider range of genres. The battles also have more variation with different disciplines such as "Solo Male", "Solo Female", "Tag Team", and "Loopstation".
But what makes BOTY so special? Eight Belgian beatboxers will compete against eight beatboxers from all over the world. We cannot yet say who it is about. What we can already say is that this battle will be one of the biggest so far!
