The main highlight of the Roxe Jam is the monster 130m graffiti art wall (SEE ABOVE) which was made legal for the event through the Roxe foundation, this has given writers all over the city the opportunity to paint the cities biggest hall of fame.

During the two day event the wall will be transformed by an array of local writers along with some of the UK`s top graffiti artists, to create a colossal piece of public art.

Alongside there with be live musical and dance performances from a host of bboys, dj`s, beatboxers and mc`s from the cream of Cardiff hip hop plus many special guests from all over the UK

Dead Residents
Y Diwygiad and Hoax
Humurak D Gritty
Optimas Prime
Quiet Poison

Many of these names may mean nothing to those outside of the scene but represent a rich diversity of sounds and styles within Welsh Hip-hop, as well as a level of quality that has been criminally overlooked in the past.

This year the Mix Tape Jam will be held in Sevenoaks Park alongside the Graff Jam on Saturday, and there will also be a chance for up and coming Emcees and singers to shine with the ‘New Breed Mixtape Jam’, a unique opportunity which also includes a week of rehearsals with Expressions of the Young Kind, a talented collective of young performers from Cardiff, headed up by Threjay Williams
