Word of Mouth organises and holds regular rap battles at The Wedgewood Rooms in Southsea, offering entertainment which is more commonly associated with American rap and comic artists.

Participants take each other on in front of an audience with insults and jokes, all of which are rapped and rhymed, which are then scored in a fierce but fun competition.
