It’s been a big weekend for Ultimate Rap League fans. Not only did the organization link up with Drake for the “Til Death Do Us Part” event in honour of the Canadian artist’s birthday, but they also got together with Chris Brown to host a few battles at his mansion. The “With You” singer even hosted the event and stood by Smack White and Nunu Nellz all night long.
All Hip Hop reports that Brown said “what the URL.TV movement is doing for the culture is crazy,” before assisting in the coin flip to determine which of the competitors would be facing off first.

The first battle of the night saw Lu Castro and Fonz, two newer URL stars go head to head. Afterwards, Charlie Clips and young Gawd Chess took their turn. These two competitors had already been announced by the organization, but fans weren’t aware that the location of the event would be Brown’s mansion, making it even more special.
@DatPiff on Twitter shared a 16-second clip from one of the battles that sees one of the emcees boldly calling his competition “a fruitcake,” then adding that he could “never touch [his] crown.” In the background, Breezy can be seen intently listening, appearing to almost crack up with a laugh upon hearing the aforementioned bar. He then turns to the person next to him, seemingly praising the rapper in front of him.

Fonz and Lu Castro’s battle streamed on Caffeine on October 31st, and will be made available on the app next Monday, November 8th. The Chess and Charlie Clips face off was actually done in collaboration with Netflix as a part of a promotional video for the Jay-Z and Will Smith produced film, The Harder They Fall. Check out the newly uploaded clip below.
Elsewhere in the URL universe, Drizzy appeared to be more than a little tipsy during his event on Saturday night.
Who would you rather watch a battle rap event with, Champagne Papi, or Chris Brown?
