This week in battle rap have been a little slow but there is excitement in some events coming up that is going to make some major statements. Actually Tonight will be major as two big events are going on in New York City, Double Impact 2 from URL and For the Love of Paper at We Go Hard.
We Go Hard Event is headlined by some big battles from vets like Daylyt vs Bangz which should be interesting, Charlie Clips vs Gwitty who is a crowd favorite and Cortez vs Ish Mulah who is a battler who has been on the come up with very good showings recently.
Double Impact 2 looks like it’s going be epic. Hitman Holla and Aye Verb from St.Louis are making they come back to URL going against Hungry and vicious, T –Top and Brizz Rawsteen. Also returning to the stage is Midwest vets Young Miles and X Factor battling legends of this 2 on 2 competition NWX, K Shine and DNA. Charlie Clips and Goodz are joining forces taking on Jersey’s own Arsonal and ShotGun Suge. This event is going be lit.
The Announcement of U Dubb Newark vs Harlem event came out this week. Headlining this event on Aug 5 is the return of the legendary Loaded Lux who name in battle rap is at the top of all time discussion. He is up against Arsonal another legend who says this is his last battle making this a classic in the making. Also on this card is Shotgun Suge vs Head Ice who is the Kotd champ right now.
One battle that came out this week that had the culture buzzing was Brizz Rawsteen vs Ill Will that was on Nome 7 earlier this year. This battle was super intense. Both mc’s came out with crazy energy and by the looks of it had to be the battle of the night. In the First round Ill Will came out killing it with punch after punch. It seem he had Brizz on the ropes but Brizz fought back so hard it was impressive. It seem to be like this every round as Brizz edge every one. This battle is a must see for any true battle rap fan. I’m surprised it wasn’t talked about more to be honest.
RBE released a battle that had people talking. O Red vs Showoff was highly anticipated as it showed two mc’s that battle rap respects as two talented hardcore lyricists. Showoff seemed a little bit off in this battle. He even said that O red was one his favorites so I think this what led to him not being as savage as I seen him in other battles. O red showed that he has to be one of the most underrated battle rappers in the game. His First and Third rounds was out of this world. He kept going at showoff with name flips and personals. He looked super focused. I hope he gets some big battles in the future. He also got a big match up on U Dubb vs K Shine which should be very interesting Red is getting my vote as battler of the year so far.
JakkBoy Maine and Ryda vs Snake Eyez and Dougy a war between NY and Dmv released this week on URL showcasing some of the leagues newest gunners. The Goonies (Ryda and Jakk) have been causing a lot of commotion in the culture as of late so I was excited to see what they had to bring to the table in this battle and let me say I was not disappointed as they showed a lot of creativity and chemistry in they’re rounds. Snake Eyez and Dougy had a great first round but lost steam a little bit. I had The DmV 2-1 in this very entertaining match up.
The battle of the week is a one that caught my attention. Aaliyah vs Starr White was an awkward but funny battle as these two ladies came out gunning at each other with very hardcore lines. This battle had an old school smack DVD feel which I like. The awkwardness about it was the elephant in the room as what was Aaliyah’s Gender? It was defiantly a question that was in my mind. I know I wasn’t the only one as I seen a couple people asking the same thing on FB. Starr White have been making her presence in battle rap groups with her funny, outspoken personality so I was intrigue to see if she had what it takes as this was her first battle on screen. It was entertaining so check it out. Keep tuned to everything battle rap in Battlebox group on FB.
