What a fucking awesome battle. Everybody Knows is a monster, but I think Okwerdz definitely took this. Major props to both, and super huge props to Okwerdz for landing Unsigned Hype in this month’s issue of The Source.

Damn, Real Deal’s first round is fucking vicious. He’s definitely one of the hardest hitters in the Mid West division, which is gaining more and more steam with every event they throw. Tut is also really solid in this match. Major props to both of these guys.

I personally thought Real Deal took it in 3 pretty easily although Tut came with it as well.  Sick battle.

Check the full post for bonus battles from both Tut and Real Deal.

Diabolic – 60 Bars

On February - 12 - 2009

Diabolic is an absolute mad man. Known for many years on the New York battle circuit for his competitive matches against Immortal Technique, Mecca and others, he got his first large promotional push after destroying his guest verse on the Immortal Technique song, Dance With The Devil.

I’ve said for years this guy has the best writtens out of anybody and this video definitely backs that opinion up. With a steady buzz on the indie hip-hop circuit already, his debut album “Liar & A Thief” is sure to open many people’s ears to true lyricism.

Weekly Battle Drop 2

On February - 11 - 2009

Welcome to another installment of the Weekly Battle Drop. If you missed it, be sure to check the last entry since it was the real deal. I apologize for the delay, but due to me keeping busy playing with my own balls, I haven’t had the time to update.

Alius Vs. E.V.I.L.
Round 1: [download]
Round 2: [download]
Beat 1: Mobb Deep – Burn [download]
Beat 2: Mobb Deep – Keep It Thoro [download]

This battle took place in the finals of the Mic Wars event in Rhode Island. Alius is a legend in the battle circuit for his classic matches against Sage Francis, Jin, Esoteric and many, many others. E.V.I.L. is relatively unknown and his battle career was most likely confined to his local scene.

I miss solid beat battles. :-(

Grind Time West Coast’s Tryout Reel

On February - 11 - 2009

With Grind Time having so many less than satisfactory battles these days, new rules have been implemented to require mandatory tryouts for new battlers as well as as the wacker ones who were already in Grind Time. The GTWC’s tryouts ended up with some sick battles. Check it out, it’s definitely worth the watch as someday you might see these guys taking on the vets in this video.


Video: Fresh Coast Cypher

On February - 10 - 2009

Ajaxx, Lush One, TheSaurus, Madness, Bo-Rat, Plex Rock, Okwerdz, Frank Stacks

An insanely ill cypher with some of the Fresh Coast’s hardest hitters dropping nasty verses.  The shit is ridiculous as expected.

Exclusive: Presence Vs. ShowNuff

On January - 19 - 2009

An old throwback battle which was left off the main Brainstorm 2 DVD due to sound quality issues. You can tell this is an older battle (Presence has hair!), but it’s definitely worthy of being posted as Presence absolutely rips it. This was the very first battle I’d ever went to and as far as I know this has never been put online. Enjoy!


Weekly Battle Drop

On January - 7 - 2009

Each week I’ll be uploading classic battles accompanied by random battler’s thoughts on each video (will be updated frequently). When applicable, I’ll provide a link to the instrumental used, as well as an option to download the video in much better quality. I hope you enjoy the first installment. As always, please link the blog to anybody who might be interested as we need all the traffic we can get!

One of the earliest Jack Cracker videos to surface, his dominant performance against Big Tone put him on the MC battling map.
