The Italian Takeover Freestyle Royal W Jack The S

Gotobeat is thrilled to announce the return of **The Italian Takeover** with a brand-new twist—introducing **Freestyle Royal**!

This one-of-a-kind event will shake up London’s Italian rap scene like never before, and will take place on the **23rd of April at Folklore Hoxton**.

Unlike the previous edition—where up-and-coming artists each had 10 minutes to showcase their skills for a chance to open at the bigger Takeover—this time, the night will feature a freestyle battle between 8 to 12 acts.

Guiding the night’s action will be a special guest host.

But that’s not all. We’re also bringing back a true legend: Italian rap veteran **Jack The Smoker** returns to London for the first time in three years! Fresh off the release of his critically acclaimed album Sedicioni—produced entirely by Big Joe—Jack has cemented his status as a heavyweight in the scene. Featuring standout collaborations with Massimo Pericolo and Salmo, the album has been hailed as an instant classic among old-school hip-hop fans.
