Watch Chiang Mai’s rappers go to war at TRAP ALERT: SPIT WAR

Things are getting heated at Skill Bar this Saturday as TRAP ALERT: SPIT WAR brings 32 up-and-coming rappers together for a knockout battle to find its 2026 champion. Rappers trade spit (not literally, we hope) by going head-to-head in a tournament bracket, judged on everything from flow and wordplay to creativity and stage presence, with B10,000 waiting for the eventual winner. There’s more than just a rap battle however, with a Free Mic competition, live performances from guest artists and other hip-hop happenings running throughout the marathon event, all with their own cash prizes. A real rapper's delight, right here in Chiang Mai. 

Sep 5. Skill Bar, Loi Kroh Road. 10am-2am
