Ralf Jühe, Executive Director at UFA Documentary: “BEATS N BUCKETS is more than an event – it’s a cultural statement. Basketball and German rap share the same energy, spirit and passion. We are delighted to be able to accompany this unique crossover project with UFA Documentary from the very beginning – with a look behind the scenes that shows how much creativity, passion and vision has gone into this new event.”

On July 13, the BMW Park in Munich will become a hotspot for basketball fans and German rap lovers: BEATS N BUCKETS will be the first event to combine sport and music in a completely new way – in a spectacular setting on an animated glass floor. Eight rappers will compete against each other on the court as part of an all-day “do-or-die” tournament.

Including: $oho Bani, Badchieff, Wilsn and WizTheMc – supported by real basketball pros and former BBL stars. Musically, Layn, YC, Tom Hengst, the 1019 Crew, Lucio101 and a big surprise act will provide energetic live performances on and off the court. A special highlight: NBA star Franz Wagner (Orlando Magic) will be on site as the official ambassador for the event, bringing international basketball glamour to Munich. Enissa Amani will host the first edition of BEATS N BUCKETS.

The event will be accompanied exclusively by UFA Documentary, with a documentary on the creation and realization of BEATS N BUCKETS and a livestream on DAZN and Dyn – for all those who can’t be there but don’t want to miss this unique crossover.

The livestream of BEATS N BUCKETS, produced by UFA Documentary, can be seen on DAZN and Dyn on July 13 from 1 to 8 pm. Exploitation partners for the planned documentary are currently still being coordinated.
