BEAT LOUNGE is a monthly hip hop producer showcase hosted by Unknown Funk Hero currently held at The Silver Dollar Room in downtown Toronto. The BEAT LOUNGE stage has hosted a vast array of Canadian talent including Slakah The Beatchild, Marco Polo, Circle Research, Mantis among others. Starting in November of 2008, the event hit the ground running, immediately receiving great reviews in local publications and accolades from the local hip-hop community.
The event continues to be a growing success, establishing a strong network of hip-hop producers, artists, DJs and spectators. This has been marked by the partnership of an established promotion team The Academy in 2009′s NXNE Festival. Organizers approached Unknown Funk Hero’s group of promoters to collaborate on what was an epic part of Toronto’s hip-hop history, the first ever NXNE Beat Battle.
