A showcase of Far North Queensland hip hop talent will take to the stage in Magandjin (Brisbane) on Friday as TipTop HipHop brings regional artists to a wider audience.

Presented by Strait From Da Straits, the event will be held at Shades nightclub in Fortitude Valley on Friday, March 13 from 8:30pm to midnight.

The event will feature a line-up of artists from across the Far North, including Marsh Mini, Red Eye Balaz (R3B), DC Made a Banger, Nemesis and DJ Swipa.

Torres Strait Islander musician Bala Kaijo, from St Paul's Village on Moa Island and said the event was designed to spotlight the strength of hip hop emerging from regional Queensland.

"TipTop hip hop is basically all of our hip hop artists that we have up in this region of FNQ," Mr Kaijo said.

"Brisbane is just one of those where there's a quite a big hip hop following so we're bringing them down."

The event is also aimed at creating opportunities for artists from regional communities to perform in larger music markets.

Bala Kaijo added performing in major cities allows artists to share their stories through music.

TipTop HipHop is also focused on building confidence among younger people watching local artists take the stage as Bala Kaijo described the event as a cultural gathering built around music.

"For us it's like a corrobboree to celebrate music and build confidence for our younger generation," he said.

The showcase is part of a wider effort to support artists from regional Queensland and encourage young people to pursue creative paths.

Bala Kaijo said the impact goes beyond the stage.

"I'm hoping it goes really for us because it's all about supporting our supporting our local artists particularly from regional queensland," he said.

"We see it more than just the show or telling our story but also coming back to our communities in our region and bulding confidence within our younger generation so that's the big one."

Music can also provide positive direction for young people navigating challenges in their lives.

Bala Kaijo spoke about the importance of showing younger generations what is possible.

"Because from my background we have a lot of our younger generation particularly our boys and becoming men who have mental health that they struggle with so we want to show them that you can do this," he said.

"You can go down south or go anywhere you want around the world and showcase who you are."
