They get the greek audience systematically in touch with the hip hop culture (mcing, b-boying, graffiti, djing). The TXC graffiti crew will become the start up for numerous such crews all over the country. Tenths of smashing live performances follow.
in these gigs that most of today well known Greek mcs will get to make their first steps. The oldschoolers might remember the late night, open mic, freestyle sessions at the closing.
