Livin' The GoodLife@ Teazer's BattleMania

Lovin' this GoodLife shit fam!!  Hope y'all are doing the same.  If this is your first time at our site thank you for your support.  Become a member and be on the lookout for more reviews and interviews.  We are committed to highlighting local and underground artists, nightlife destinations, and giving the latest in fashion trends to help you and yours stay in line with this GoodLife movement. 

Back to the subject at hand, BattleMania II @ Teazer's Bar on Tuesdays is a PRIORITY.  I actually went last week to check out my guy MC Lil Mack spin.  He has been holding down local hip hop in the area for awhile and giving artists a platform to display their talents.  One of my first performances ever was @ Teazers with Lil Mack hosting on Tuesday's.  The atmosphere is something any fan of hip hop, casual to true hip hop head, can enjoy to the fullest.  Great energy, great crowd and something we all like, great drink specials.  That same great vibe, with a few new additions, has made BattleMania @ Teazer's a can't miss!!

Battlemania II has MC Lil Mack on the wheels bringing you the hottest tracks and club bangers in between the live performances.  Each individual artist or group performs 2-3 original tracks.  There can be about 4 to 5 different groups during the night.  After the performances is the actual freestyle battles.  The artists are battling not only for respect, but great prizes including studio edition Beats By Dre headphones and a Video Shoot for their single of choice.  Any artist that feels they have enough skills to take home the prize and the title, all you have to do is bump into the right guy and tell him you want in.

That guy would be Anthony "Ant" Lazar, the host of BattleMania.  Ant's credibility as an artist(Goggle if you need) and true love for this thing we call hip hop helps bring the necessary formula to help make these battles and performances a crowd pleaser.  Dude's energy and charisma is enough to make Mekhi Phifer look tame in 8 Mile.  That element makes the whole atmoshpere so much more hype and exciting.  Also not even knowing this man well, you can tell he is a TRUE hustla by birth, which REAL hustlas alike can love and respect.  Anybody coming in with a TTMG shirt gets into the battle for free.  TTMG is Ant's music company, I'll give you a link to check that out!!  Must add that the shirts look more than right on the females!!!

To be honest you would be hard pressed to find much better entertainment any day of the week in Grand Rapids.  Ant and Lil Mack have a real good look on their hands.  Give these guys a mic and some wheels in a MCDonald's parking lot and I'm sure they would pack that thang out!  I have never seen so many women, beautiful women I may add, at a rap battle.  Reason being is that it is more than just a rap battle. Any and EVERYBODY that comes out will enjoy themselves to the fullest.  My ONLY negative is that I caught this 8 week battle series kinda late.  There are three weeks left and each week so far has been better than the last.
There are $1 raffles for bottles at least twice a night.  Big bottles of Grey Goose, Moet, or whatever the host decides he wants to giveaway!!  Adding that the cover is only $3, there is no reason not to be there next week. 

Below are a few links y'all should check out.  Also a few videos and pics of the live battles!!  Enjoy Fam and continue Livin' this GoodLife!! See y'all Tuesday!!!
