BattleFest 18 was a star studded event. We partnered up with world of dance for an all dance Memorial weekend. This event was sponsored by Pioneer Steez & Monster Energy Drink. It was amazing to see all the fans and spectators take pictures on the red carpet with all their favorite dancers.

We kicked the event off with B-boy Massacre in our Pre-Show. These dancers had the crowd going crazy with some of the most electrifying power moves we have ever seen. KidGlyde hosted this segment to promote his event that he puts on every friday the 13th

LiteFeet Nation also was apart of the Battlefest Pre-show, as Chrybaby hosted one of the most hype litefeet cyphers ever. Everyone should know about this Harlem movement by now but just incase you didn’t know they are apart of the BattleFest family as we plan to create the biggest union in the underground street scene.

You know BattleFest always has a celebrity surprise at our events. Last event we had So you think you can dance winner Russell Ferguson and Kevin Hunt. This event we had Jet Li from ABDC’s Poreotics! He did a surprise battle against Battlefest own Dre. The crowd literally lost there mind when these guys went in.

Now for the battle action! We started off with a warm up battle with the Battlefest Underground Star Brixx vs Rookie K-styles. This battle ended up in a dead lock filled with high octane moves crowd did know who to root for. | Kassic came home with the win in to rounds against Rich Nation as he pulled a gun out of his ribs making the crowd go crazy | Slicc crushed Graffiti in 2 rounds showing the League he should be looked at more seriously as a contender | Ryan Haskett all the way from Memphis wowed the crowd with his ballet orchestra jookin!

Down to the last move RudeBoy pulls our a hail mary never before done hat trick winning a nail bitter.
