The Alliance Battle League (A.B.L.) is a battle/hip hop league out of Tacoma, WA. The league started at the end of the summer of 2011 by SYNRGY ENT, NU EMPIRE MUSIC GROUP, MONEY MAINTAIN’N, GOODHOOD MONEY, FLY BOYs, and SHYSTY CLIC.

The league is an outlet for all ages to come out and participate and presents shows to a variety of people from Seattle, Lakewood, Lacey and throughout the Northwest region. Alliance Battle League provides a safe and entertaining environment for all hip hop lovers who love the essence of battle rapping and competition. We also provide opportunities for the artists who participate in the league to showcase their music and also help them put together the packets they need to become more successful in their endeavors.

The Alliance Battle League started off at a place called the graffiti garages on 9th and Broadway in Downtown Tacoma, WA. During this time an event called the North West (MC) League also known as the “Sunday Cyphers”, were held every Sunday at one o’clock P.M. This served as a catalyst for the Alliance Battle League. The battling scene increased and the A.B.L. was on top of it.

A.B.L. is the first to offer cash prizes every week as well as film recognition via Facebook and YouTube and World Wide Web. It is an effort to help the state of Washington and other Northwest cities and states collaborate with the common goal of exposing the Northwest for all its talents. In addition, the A.B.L. is a community based establishment, our supporters range from all nationalities and ethnic backgrounds.

In essence most people under value the importance of diversity but here at the A.B.L. we have a healthy respect for each other that enable us to make progress. Considering we live in a time where the state budget has plummeted, crime rates sky rocketed, and violence continues to prevail, the A.B.L. has created a medium for the public by giving the youth and young adults a place to channel their frustrations in a healthy manner.

The A.B.L. now holds rap battles, beat battles, main events, free style spits, cyphers, and album release parties for
the incorporate labels every Saturday at the local Rumrunners on 5240 South Tacoma, Tacoma, WA.
