Both this song and video is really awesome. I’ve probably checked around 5-6 songs by TOPR now and I’ve honestly enjoyed all of them.

This is kind of old, but it’s still a super raw mixtape. For those that don’t know, Datin is a member of Nems’ crew FYL (Fuck Ya Lyfe) and is an absolute monster. His delivery and flow are simply amazing as he nails after single switch and kick in the beat in every verse. His vocal control is also out of this world. In addition to being a ridiculously raw rapper, his lyrics are sick as well.
He went 1-1 on Freestyle Friday after getting jerked during his first defense of his Champion status.

His next album, The Grand Entrance is slated to drop soon and from what I have heard so far it will be excellent. I can’t wait. Check him out at his Myspace and check his tracks.

Support the hard work these guys put into the event and buy this DVD. The event was absolutely insane and the DVD will have excellent quality and include many bonus features as well.
Check out the free mixtape from GT West Coast battler Ghambit and be sure to spread this link around to give him extra shine. His battle with Detective Blacksmith was a very heated match and should be dropping soon so be on the lookout!

Swing by our forums and feel free to discuss everything rap battle related. No stupidity or you will get banned. Enjoy!
Round 1 Vs. J-Win
My opener was cut off. I said, “Fuck heads or tails/ I’ll just serve the shit out of you, that never fails.”
Round 2 Vs. Unknown
Round 3 Vs. Foo
See, I can rap without choking sometimes!
Alright guys, if you don’t know about Sandpeople you should definitely check them out. It’s Illmac’s crew out of Portland with around 10 MCs and they’re all super talented. They’re getting some shine with their new video ‘Hate Aside’ on MTVu but are currently in 2nd place by a small margin.
We need your help to push them over the edge into the number one spot. We know how hard it is for our scene’s battlers to get some mainstream shine so whenever we’re close we need to step up and support the movement!

This should definitely be one of the best GTNW events ever. With the last event being shrouded in controversy, fights, and noshows, Illmaculate has certainly worked hard to bring you a much better event the next time around.
9DM, who I believe is one of the best in Grind Time period, is taking on a very serious threat in Ex-I. Ex-I’s last showing against Real Deal wasn’t his best and you can bet your girlfriend’s dignity that he’ll be coming for vengeance in this one (total freeroll if your girl doesn’t have any dignity to begin with. Gamble up!)
The co-main event is another heater between the official Grind Time producer Chase Moore and local Northwest battle veteran Mic Phenom. Mic Phenom is coming off a recent loss to Kid Caustic at Battle Of The Bay 4 and fumbled a bit in one of his rounds. He’s proven capable of breezing through battles with his sharp freestyle skills, but hopefully he won’t need those in this match.
H-Bomb really displayed his range of skills by attacking F.L.O. from a unique angle involving wordplay about his name. Only One is Illmac’s partner in rhyme and an absolute beast on recorded tracks. If you haven’t checked out their album by now, do yourself a serious favor and buy it. Police Brutality was one of my favorite releases in a long time and you’re fucking yourself over by not copping it. This battle will be heat.
The rest of the lineup shows promise as well, but I don’t know enough about the competitors to write anything useful about them. I will say that I laughed at the fact there are 3 Mic ?’s in the lineup lol. Hopefully nobody gets mixed up with each other.
What are your predictions?
