UPDATE – This event is May 15 – NOT May 8 – my error – I was so excited for Rhyme Cal – I didn’t want to wait a week. 

This event comes highly reccomended to me by a number of IheartPGH readers.

Rhyme Calisthenics is an MC competition that combines the intensity of a rap battle with the excitement and unpredictability of a game show. While rap battles only require one skill – the ability to diss one’s opponent – Rhyme Calisthenics is the true test of an MC’s versatility, creativity and swagger.
