MC Waluigi

 

 
This HHK freshman opens up Round 10 by bringing a flawless performance and fantastic energy to an old-school track by Young MC. When her back-up dancer busts a move, the crowd chants and goes wild. If you want it, baby, you’ve got it!
 

Mel

 

 
Hailing all the way from Vancouver, HHK veteran Mel brings fire to the stage with HHKMTL’s first ever Talib Kweli performance (“Get By”). She gets the crowd singing along and has to pause before leaving the stage to slap hands with her waiting fans. Legendary!
 

MF Gold

 

 
HHK Veteran MF Gold makes an legendary comeback with this unbelievably hype performance of Missy Elliott’s “Get Ur Freak On.” She had the whole crowd signing, “From here on, errybody’s gonna be dancing a little fucked up… make some noise, make some noise!” Legendary.
 

JG and Little Fro feat. Panther & the Supafly

 

 
In a HHKMTL first, Panther & the Supafly join HHK freshmen JG & Little Fro for this unbelievable surprise performance of the Roots classic “The Seed.” Minds were blown, dreams came true and legends were made.
 

Donatella

 

 
Legendary HHK veteran Donatella returns to pop some tags and rock the mic with Macklemore’s “Thrift Shop.” It’s no surprise that this girl can spit, but she shines extra bright as she conquers this modern-day banger. ■

The next edition of HHK, hosted by D-Shade, with DJ Midas, happens at le Belmont (4483 St-Laurent) on Thursday, Feb. 21, 10 p.m., $5, or $10 after 11 p.m.
