The Ten Toes Challenge is an initiative that was started by producer BubbaGotBeatz. The dare is designed for individuals to basically drop bars over a particular instrumental and share one`s story through poetic influence and delivery. Ten toes down literally means to be genuinely committed to something you love or value dearly. On the Kohima version of the jam session the metropolis based youngsters pledge on the responsibility to represent their love for the hometown and share the chronicles involving life in the capital.
