It goes without saying that rappers love their video games. So on that note, HipHopDX, the #1 Hip Hop news source, is proud to announce the #NextLevel Street Fighter V gaming tournament, presented by AMP Energy®. The #NextLevel celebrity Street Fighter V tournament will pit several rappers against each other alongside world renown professional gamers.
The action packed tournament will be broadcast live on HipHopDX’s Twitch channel (twitch.tv/hiphopdx) Thursday, June 23 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. EST.
Bragging rights won’t be the only prize to be had that afternoon. Capcom has revealed that the grand prize will be a custom painted Birdie/Necalli PS4 console, complete with two arcade sticks and a collector’s edition of the Street Fighter V game, all packaged in a huge Shadaloo crate!

“HipHopDX is very excited to present such an authentic and original event together with AMP Energy, Twitch and Capcom,” said Sharath Cherian, Founder/CEO of HipHopDX. “We’re honored to have these companies support the gaming and Hip Hop world and having them collide in such a fun way.”
Earlier this year, AMP Energy entered the gaming world through a partnership with Twitch, teaming up to bring gamers a one-of-a-kind program that encourages AMP Energy fans and the Twitch community to ‘level up’ their gaming experience. The program features a national fan and broadcaster sweepstakes, a new website, limited-edition gear and co-branded AMP Energy + Twitch cans, marking the first time the iconic Twitch logo has ever been used on any non-gaming retail product.
