Sway & King Tech of the 'world famous' Wake Up Show are getting ready to set things off-again. They are holding international auditions for freestylers who wish to go through rigorous rounds of emcee battles to see if they qualify to go head to head with Supernatural or Juice. If you recall back in September, Supernatural who hails from the state of Wisconsin went up against the Chicago based Juice. It was supposed to be the epic battle of all time as they two gifted freestylers attempted to win the 5 thousand dollar 'winner take all' prize purse. Supernatural won and the result was a whole lot of disgruntled Juice fans who listened to the battle on the radio complaining that Juice was robbed despite the unanimous nine judge decision.

King Tech explained that while the battle may have sounded close on the airwaves it was definitely a different story at the actual event. While Juice was able to drop some nice rhymes.. he simply did not have clear dominant presence compared to Supernatural. He also explained that what folks heard on air was the result of him having to seriously clean up the sound and equalize it for air play. During the event Juice's lyrics were muddled and not very clear to the audience. And that wasn't do to the sound system. It was due to his technique. In any case it's not certain if Juice and Supernatural will return to the emcee arena to battle...

With regards to the upcoming tournament, Sway explained that in order for an emcee to have the privilege of battling Juice or Supernatural they will have to earn that right. Hence they will have to endure several rounds of battling in which they will get ranked. There will be several cities in which these battles will take place including LA and The Bay Area.. If anyone wants to get down and see if they qualify they must call this number 1-818-971-6112 and spit some verses. Sway emphasized that they are seeking skilled emcees. They don't want any non skilled crappy sounding wannabe woodchucks trying to get on.. Only true lyricists with battle skillz need to call the number..

Lastly be on the look out for the Wake Up Show's upcoming project 'Freestyles Volume 5' It will feature folks like KRS-One, Kool G Rap, Ahmad and several key surprises.. It will be dropping December 7th.. That's the same day as the upcoming Biggie album.
