India's biggest Hip Hop festival BREEZER Vivid Shuffle announces new season

BREEZER Vivid Shuffle, India’s biggest hip hop festival, has announced the launch of its sixth consecutive season. With its past five successful editions, the festival has built the biggest brand-led hip hop community in India, celebrating talent across multiple dance, music, and art forms. BREEZER Vivid Shuffle (BVS), a NODWIN Gaming IP, is back on-ground this year and promises to bring to life the biggest-ever season at the largest scale yet. Ushering in a new wave with #BeatsOfTheStreets featuring the best Indian hip hop musicians, BVS is taking a step up and bringing forth its celebratory aspect to the masses. From being a primarily dance-based competition, it will now be a celebration of all things hip hop - live music, dance cyphers, street-style souks, fun interactive installations, photo ops, meet & greet, and of course workshops at the School of Shuffle.

BREEZER Vivid Shuffle is India's first hip hop league, and the new season will once again be led by brand ambassadors Kriti Sanon and Vijay Deverakonda.

In its sixth year, BREEZER Vivid Shuffle seeks to provide a platform for hip hop talent from the ‘streets’ of India, in a bid to make it accessible to the youth from all walks of life. It will aid a wider crossover of sounds and build a bigger-than-ever regional representation of the best hip hop geniuses from across the country. This edition includes a Digital Dance Battle with an opportunity to participate by uploading entries in open category – street styles and a chance to win from a prize pool of INR 10 Lakhs. Three winners will be selected by renowned judges and each will make their way to one of the 3 cities with a chance to meet the Brand Ambassadors. Online registrations for the competition are due to open soon.       

This edition’s BVS experience has Block Parties lined up at Hyderabad on the 5^th of November with a chance to meet youth icon and actor Vijay Deverakonda and in Guwahati on the 19^th of November and a meet & greet session with the Headliner along with dance cyphers and top notch music artists. A two-day fest in Mumbai on the 12^th & 13^th of November will witness high voltage Breaking Cypher Battle, top of the line music artists and workshops on art, dance & music at the School of Shuffle. The nation’s heartthrob Kriti Sanon will also be a part of the festive cheer!
