The first installment of the Real Wednesday rap battle series at Social is in the books. The series’ first winner at its launch on Jan. 22 was Jeremy “Big Germ” Cox.

The weekly series, held each Wednesday night at the nightclub on the Murfreesboro square, allows aspiring rap artists the opportunity to showcase their skills, and for the winner to come away with $100.

“Real Wednesdays was a smash! Jeremy ‘Big Germ’ Cox is our first winner,” said Real Wednesday organizer Larry Kennon after the first night, also giving praise to first runner up Logan ‘LP.’ “Big Germ brought killer bars for the open verse cypher round and LP had a monster verse when given the topic word ‘Pixie Stix.'”

Other performers included Van C, Mike B, Leon, Highmunkulus Thunk, and Kenny and Zack Nance, while Stranger Danger performed DJ duties.

Stop by Social, 114 N. Church St., one Wednesday night to participate or observe.
