The party started with a live in-store session by the one and only Bosborot as one of the founding fathers of KeepKeep. Around 3 PM, the set was taken by the maestro: E-One Cronik. He delivers his signature scratching techniques with groovy tunes. Meanwhile, in the stage area, Egga kicked-off his set with his specialty tunes. The crowd started flowing and arriving at the venue, making Keepkeep more packed with people.
Other than music performances, there were stands and installations at Keep Keep Hura. There is one that attracts us very much, created by Sandarajiwa, they open a free face massage booth. The service was quite outstanding, suitable for high-intensity hustlers. After the Maghrib break, KROWBAR is up on the main stage and started to spit his dirty, offensive, yet authentic rhymes. People started nodding on the beats, and some of the crowd that knew the bars starts to rap along.
