RAPublic Hip Hop Music Festival Vol.3

Campo Bruno Reffi, 31 August and 1 September



RAPublic Hip Hop Music Festival Vol.3. will take shape again, in the Old Town Center of the Republic of San Marino, at Campo Bruno Reffi on 31 August and 1 September.

With the patronage of the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Education and Culture, and with the collaboration of the Tourism Board, the event is organized by the Youth Organization Association, now in its third edition.

Urban, hip pop and street culture will be the backdrop for the two days dedicated to inclusion and fun, in which many international artists and guests will perform in Campo Bruno Reffi to show their skills and to raise awareness of street culture in San Marino.
Once again the presence of writers, breakers, musicians and singers in order to make the atmosphere of the festival unique in its kind. The organization also reconfirms the winning format of the past editions: the two main contests have therefore been reaffirmed.

Thursday 31 August the best known freestyle battle in Italy will take place: Tecniche Perfette, the contest will coincide with the XVIII edition of Tecniche Perfette, managed by Mastafive and Dj Double S (Dj of Fabri Fibra), which aims to bring a format already established in the world of rap and will develop through the performances of the participants, creating a moment of fun.
This year for the first time Rapublic will host live Tour Ensi and Nerone "Brava Gente" released in the spring with their album. The concert will be held on 31 August after Tecniche Perfette, a format that launched both artists into the world of rap and are now considered a cult of Italian hip hop.

The day of Friday 1 September will instead be animated by the street dance contest. Unithill is an event that was born in the summer of 2017 on the Rimini hills and it’s the first urban dance battle entirely to Italian music. This year's edition will be accompanied by two of the most important rap and hip hip formats on the Italian scene: Tecniche Perfette and REAL TALK, on stage on 1 September together with Tredici Pietro (son of Gianni Morandi) & Lil Busso + 8blevrai, an emerging who will also participate in the Plug-Mi in Milan, an event that the Rapublic organization has been paying attention to and from which it has been inspired for some time.

Rapublic adds the sustainability element to its third edition: the event will be plastic free and water, a primary good, will be accessible to all. An important space will also be reserved for the merchandising of the Festival.

The organizers thank all the realities that have contributed to the realization of the Festival.

The Minister of Tourism Federico Pedini Amati, through Elia Rinaldi, who spoke at the press conference for the aforementioned Minister: "Rapublic is an extraordinary event that celebrates the art, music and creativity of hip-hop culture and represents a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the vibrant rap scene, where talented artists perform with their signature style, sharp rhymes and engaging stories. Through concerts, freestyle battles and a series of events much loved by young people, this festival also expresses an important social message. I invite everyone to participate in Rapublic and to embrace the energy of the guys who organize the event and whom I thank from the bottom of my heart. Rapublic, allow me to say, is also the answer to those who accused us, just a few weeks ago, of proposing only music of a certain genre and for certain generations”.

The Minister of Education and Culture Andrea Belluzzi: “It is a pleasure to present an initiative like Rapublic which has already reached its third edition and which proves to be a project of great value. Rapublic intends to celebrate a movement, that of hip hop which is much more than a musical genre, it is a complex, multifaceted cultural expression of great value. With this event we address young people speaking their language trying to overcome any kind of obstacle or expressive difficulty. The support of the Ministry of Culture for this appointment is total".
