Almost four months since the last Pass The Mic, the crew at Bodega Collective went extra hard for their first event of 2022…

And staying true to form, it was hip hop as fuck. From far and wide across Sydney artists ventured down to the Marrickville venue, each of the 15 coming with one song locked and loaded for the inner west crowd. And it’s safe to say this was the biggest Pass The Mic lineup we’ve seen yet, the likes of Planet Vegeta, Liyah Knight, Tallboyshort, special guest A.Girl and more all taking to the Red Rattler stage.

Hosted by Sydney-via-NY Don Danté Knows, the Red Rattler stage was set ablaze with fiery chants and cheers, punters eager to see the swathes of talent the local hip hop and R&B scenes are burning with. It was a return to form following months of restrictions, and judging by how big this most recent hip hop showcase was, we don’t doubt there are plenty more well on the way. Get caught up via the gallery below.
