The Hold Up guys really have their finger on the pulse of the hip hop heartbeat. Every time I've been to one of their shows, or listened to their radio show on Newport Radio, I've come back with new favourite artists to explore.

Used to film and photograph some Hold Up events a while back, absolutely a pleasure to work with and the shows are always packed with great performances and a great turnout for the crowd too. Awesome atmosphere and they all do so much for the local music scene and further afield bringing in UK and some times international rappers too (Bronze Nazareth was a highlight). I always try and get to the events still now when I can as its just a great vibe and always have a good night. 100% recommend. More...

In a world filled with selfishness and greed, Very few people break the mould. Rappers around Cardiff/Wales in general were for too long neglecting opportunities to make the scene what it could and SHOULD be.
I personally have only been taking this music thing seriously for about a year now.. More so in the past 6 months. The Hold Up gave me my first opportunity to perform live.. They have been an integral part to my development. Be it with my confidence on the mic or through helping with collaborations. The Hold Up are are a shining light for the community of Welsh Hip Hop in an otherwise segregated scene. I thank them for all they have done for me thus' far, and look forward to being a part of this scene for a very long time with all of these guys.
5 MOTHER FUCKIN' STARS BRUV.

these Guys are quite simply what i consider as true lovers of the genre, they put on nights for the fans instead of just trying to line their pockets. personally i have some of the best nights at these events, you can see and meet some of your favourite artists like jam baxter etc. They are always looking to give new talent an opportunity to shine, create safe havens for budding artists to showcase their skills in a pressure free and supportive environment through side projects such as "inner-City cyphers" in association with Oner Graffiti store. what more can i say, long live the Hold Up, Cardiffs Home of hip hop!!!

I'm from a time in Cardiff Hip Hop, that's long gone! But it's so refreshing and revitalising to see the flame still burning in the manifestation of 'The Hold Up'.
Thank you, for keeping our Welsh Hip Hop torch burning! You're very much appreciated by many people.
