Loading ...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 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.

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.

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.
Sorry for the delay folks. I’ll make it up to you soon, I pwomise!!

Repping Columbus, OH, Meta4ce has been a noteworthy competitor in the battle scene for many years. Most known for battle with Bo-Rat in Scribble Jam ‘04, he’s garnered an unruly amount of unjustified hatred from internet turds despite being a sick battler and dope as fuck on tracks. Follow along as we discuss his well known battle with AdeeM, figure out what went wrong against Bo-Rat and get updateded on his music. [This interview is approximately 2 years old.]
How’s it going Meta? What’s been up man, how’s your daughter?
I’m aight. Been drinking some good old fashioned beer. My daughter’s fine, I just got her some dunks.
Word. My girlfriend’s pregnant too. I’m bout to be a father. So, how’d you first get into battling?
My dude’s older brother in Texas (Bigg Naut RIP) was like “super rapper” and he used to make us prove ourselves. So I kept battling him and I got pretty good at it.
Your street battle with AdeeM is something of battle legend. Can you explain exactly how that whole ordeal came about?
I didn’t even really know who dude was before I battled him. I saw his name, but I didn’t watch battles like that. Jakki called me up and told me some white nerd was at Bernie’s and my other dude (who will remain nameless) wanted to take his bread. So I went over there to clown and act a fool, maybe rob, but my other guy Przm was like, “Nah, don’t do that because he’s gonna think I set ‘em up. Just battle him.” So I did.
When he was performing, I’d sneak downstairs and throw ice at that man, being young and immature, trying to see what he was gonna do. It was quite hilarious.
Post your predictions below.
I’m sure you’re all aware of the old saying that battle rappers can’t make good music. Well, it’s not completely unfounded, but there’s definitely a large amount of bumpable music being released by current and former battle all stars. Each week I’ll hit you with some solid cuts from your favorite battlers.
Meta4ce – Bringers Of Death [download]
Meta4ce is probably the most underrated battler ever due to the fact that nobody gave him another chance after he lost to Bo-Rat. Instead of checking his other battles or listening to his music to judge him, they decide his entire skill level on his worst performance ever. Eat crow, this song is murder.
Flesh scarred and wrecked, your dead squads a memory
My niggas is the bringers of death ya’ll pretend to be
You twitchin’ cause we wringin’ ya neck, God is sinking in paws
Now you living in gauze, you fuckin’ wit the squad
