56 emcees face off for the title of Brainstorm 3. Defending champion Presence seeks to repeat against former foes such as Geologic and Surge Spittable along with up-and-comer Bad Luk. Rhode Island's Frankie Riptide and a lethal California contingent of NoCanDo, MC Orukusaki, Bo-Rat and Franco also have something to say about who gets served. Ultimately, only a judging panel that includes Canibus, Jake One and J-Live holds the power to Brainstorm. Performers include J-Live, Massive Monkees, Lifesavas, One Man Army and more.
