THAT VIBE AT OUTBREAK EUROPE 2015
OUTBREAK EUROPE!!! All I can ever say is Thank you!! I've never seen Hip Hop more alive than in this quiet city in the middle of Slovakia that I'd never heard of until OUTBREAK EUROPE came to be!

This is why I love this culture!' Mojitos, Cyhpers, Jamming and catching up with old friends in the town square.
