Rappers battle for Rap Olympics

Eminem
Before he became a megastar, Eminem came second place in the Rap olympics.
MCs at the Nokia Urban Music Festival will have a chance to compete for a place in the Rap Olympics in US.

One rapper will be chosen to represent the UK, and they will take part in the rap battle that Eminem competed in before he became famous.

In rap battles, MCs compete to hurt their opponent with lyrics, and they are judged by an audience.

The festival is organised by The Prince's Trust and takes place at Earls Court in London on April 16 and 17.

Tune into Newsround Showbiz on Sunday to see Lizzie check out battle rappers in action.
