We B*Girlz wants to present strong, smart, independent B-Girlz and other Hip Hop females as role models for upcoming generations to show everyone that there is a significant place for women in this worldwide culture. In addition, we want to preserve the history of women in Hip Hop by encouraging everyone to collect and archive materials from back in the days and to document the scene as it exists now.
Women play an important role in Hip Hop culture, but are presented by the media mostly as scantily dressed background dancers. We B*Girlz Productionz wants to show that women mastered skills in all aspects of Hip Hop and have earned a place in Hip Hop history.
In August 2008, supported by the “Hauptstadtkulturfonds” and with support of the mayor, we organized the world’s biggest festival for women in Hip Hop, a 4-week Festival with workshops, panel discussions, a film festival, exhibitions, battles and shows.
Our intention is to provide a platform for girls and young women from different nations and cultural backgrounds to make contacts, exchange ideas, and support each other.
In the course of the festival we produced a magazine, a compilation with female MCs and are now working on a DVD and a book.
Check the website www.b-girlz-berlin.com for information about last year's festival and the upcoming events in 2009.

hier die brandheiße Info mit Wochendendtip für alle Freestylefanatikar und Rapfans:
Beatz aus der Bude meets Beats n’ Bars – Freestylesession mit DJ Lifeforce
Am Samstag, den 27.06.2009 trifft Dj Lifeforce im Logo Club, Grindelallee 5, Hamburg auf das Beats n’ Bars Freestyleteam. Im Rahmen der „Beats n’ Bars Showtime“ Veranstaltungsreihe wird eine gemeinsame Freestyle-Show mit DJ Lifeforce und dem Beats n’ Bars Freestyle Team sowie eine Open Mic Session und eine After-Show Party mit DJ Lifeforce an den Plattentellern zu erleben sein.
DJ Lifeforce rockt seit ca. 20 Jahren bundesweit als HipHop Party-DJ die Tanzflächen der Clubs. Er supportete als Warm-Up schon internationale Größen wie Nas, Jay-Z, KRS One, MC Lyte, X-Ecutioners, Grand Master Flash, Stretch Armstrong, Looptroop, P.F Cuttin oder Afura. Weiterhin machte sich Lifeforce einen Namen als Organisator der "Beatz aus der Bude Freestyle Sessions" die, als Audio-Tape veröffentlicht, Deutschlands Hip Hop Szene in puncto Freestyle-Rap mitprägten.
Die MC’s des Beats n’ Bars Freestyle Teams verwandeln mit Leichtigkeit jede Vorlage des Moderators und des Publikums in frei improvisierten Rap. Durch die direkte Kommunikation zwischen Künstlern und Publikum entsteht eine Atmosphäre die den fast vergessenen HipHop Jam Charakter der 90er-Jahre wieder aufleben lässt.
Als Host begleitet Sressbwooi die Künstler und Gäste durch den Abend. Zusätzlich wird der Beatboxer Eriktion ein Beatbox-Showcase performen. Nach dem Live-Programm bittet Lifeforce die Gäste mit ruffem 90er Boom Bap Sound auf die Tanzfläche.
Unter http://www.beatsnbars.de/player02.html besteht die Möglichkeit die letzte „Beats n’ Bars Showtime“ Veranstaltung mit Mirko Machine, TIK und dem Beats n’ Bars Freestyle Team vom 28.03.09 als Videomitschnitt anzusehen.
