Battle rap is quickly growing as a culture. What was almost completely relegated to street corners and Youtube a few years ago has garnered national recognition, more tv programming, Pay-Per-View events, and other attention of the mainstream media. Hip Hop icons like Eminem and Snoop Dogg have put on events for the battle scene and at this rate things can only continue to expand. That being the case, we’re here to keep you updated on all things battle rap. Now is a great time to join the culture.
We have some heavily talked about battles coming out this week. We have the Calicoe vs Pat Stay battle that has gotten quite a buzz, the possible bodybag of O’fficial vs Jaz The Rapper, and a 2 on 2 that featured remixes and showtimes galore. Also, a certain rapper will be making his long awaited return to KOTD this weekend.
