Burn Battle School
World renowned artists Busta Rhymes & DJ Grand Master Flash in a celebration of street culture...
Objective
Solution
Amplify were challenged to bring fans together to celebrate street culture and the rich heritage of New York's hip hop scene from the 80's and 90's.​
A two-city arena tour with concerts in both Poland and Russia, two of Burn Energy's major markets.
We designed and fabricated an imposing two story high stage set and backdrop recreated a gritty subway, block party scene for an epic breaker battle with 16 of the best international breakers. Fans were wowed by Swiss graffiti artist Boogie, legendary London based artist Inkie and Bristol-bred artist Cheo who created live street-art installations in homage to the talent that would be gracing the stage throughout the evening.
​
Grandmaster Flash brought a mixture of hip-hop old and new, highlighting his skills which made him one of the most iconic figures not only in hip-hop history but DJ history overall.
Finally, Busta Rhymes, celebrating his 25th year in the industry, performed hits from his entire back catalogue; from his 96' debut, Woo Hah!! Got You All InCheck to tongue-twisting spitting on Break Ya Neck.
