Rappers Delight is a hip hop open mic night celebrating raw lyricism, beats, and community. Held in Fitzroy at Izakaya By Tamura, the event gives local MCs a platform to step up, grab the mic, and perform over live DJ sets in a supportive environment. Featuring resident host One Sixth and DJs Daily, Decktektive and Sal618 and a guest performer each month, Rappers Delight showcases emerging talent and keeps the focus on freestyles, bars, and hip hop culture. The night runs 8pm – midnight on the 2nd Wednesday of the month with free entry, making it an accessible space for both performers and fans of underground hip hop.
This month’s special guest is Melbourne based hip hop artist KUDOS. Known for his sharp lyricism, introspective storytelling, and a fluid, natural delivery. His music balances thoughtful wordplay with rhythm driven beats, blending classic hip hop fundamentals with a modern local edge. Drawing from lived experience and close observation of the world around him, Kudos crafts verses that are personal, reflective, and often subtly humorous. With a strong work ethic and years of refinement behind him, his style prioritises authenticity, musicality, and lyrical depth over trends, earning him respect within Australia’s underground hip hop scene. Catch him live this month at Rappers Delight open mic night.
