RTB (Raise the Bar) is a Manchester-based platform elevating the next wave of rap talent. From high-energy cyphers and live showcases to open mics and community linkups, we create space for MCs, producers, and fans to connect, collaborate, and level up. Rooted in hip-hop but open to the full spectrum of sound and expression, RTB is about pushing the culture forward—raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically Northern. Whether you're on the mic or in the crowd, this is where bars get raised.
