True N Livin' Presents...Where Beats Meet Bars™ Vol. 68 - What's Beef
WBMB™ is an open cypher competition that provides a platform for participants of all genres to showcase their music. This is not your average competition or showcase – WBMB™ is an Artist Development League committed to helping you grow, hone your skills, and achieve professionalism in the music industry.
Before WBMB, we are introducing a showcase called The Warm Up. A music showcase spotlighting New Jersey's hottest up-and-coming artists before they hit the big time. Experience an electric night of diverse talent, from hip-hop to indie, in an intimate venue. Witness the raw energy and passion of these emerging stars as they warm up the stage for their journey to stardom. Don't miss the chance to catch the next big thing in New Jersey's vibrant music scene!
If you are musically inclined (including you shower singers, karaoke megastars, and aux cord savages) participate in the competition or our hot mic segments called #OPENBARS & #LASTCALL
Hosted by Queen Neveah & Quis Chandla w/ sounds by DJ Smacks
