Also, after the World Battles, on Saturday, August 9, Parris Goebel Presents Skulls and Crowns: A Royal Invasion. I am very jealous that I won't be able to attend this. This looks like it's going to be an AMAZING event to go to.
And of course, the World Championship Finals will be on Sunday, August 10 at 9:30pm EST which will be available on LiveStream for FREE at HipHopInternational.com
As for me, I'm leaving the country for vacation after today (the reason I didn't go to HHI), so I'm not sure how much coverage I can provide while I'm gone. I'm keeping my fingers cross I can catch the World Finals when I get back.
And as a parting gift, here are two interviews from PacificRimVideoPress of Philip Pacman Chbeeb and Parris Goebel from their Urban Moves Workshops.
