Screen Shot 2023 04 25 at 9.28.46 PM

A white battle rapper got the exposure he was not looking for after he was punched in the face by his opposition for calling his opponent a “n***a”.

William Wolf, who is white, spit a few solid bars at his opponent, Philly’s Avenue C , saying, “I ain’t like these other battle rappers, they talk too much, saying I can’t use the n-word in this battle, my n***a….” Before he could get the last word out of his mouth, Avenue C delivered a hard right jab to Wolf’s mouth.

The two were separated by other onlookers but not before William Wolf was fully embarrassed by Avenue C.. See the footage above.

URL Battle League Releases Full Card For Biggest Event Of The Year Streaming Exclusively on Caffeine

Screen Shot 2022 09 24 at 12.18.19 PM

The Ultimate Rap League (URL) announces its highly-anticipated Summer Madness 12 (SM12) card, bringing together some of the biggest names in battle rap to go head-to-head in this one-night-only event. The sold out event will take place on Saturday, September 24, 2022, at 3 p.m. EDT / 12 p.m. PDT from the World Night Club in Charlotte, NC and will be broadcasted live on URL’s Caffeine channel. Battles from the event will start to stream exclusively on The Ultimate Rap League’s App soon after their debut.

For over a decade, the Summer Madness series has been the most anticipated card of the year for battle rap fans, pairing artists who have consistently wrecked stages over the last year, and defining themselves as the most requested emcees on the league’s roster.  This year, social broadcasting platform, Caffeine, will bring each battle to audiences around the globe, as fans can tune-in and interact throughout the event.   

The featured battles on SM12 are Tsu Surf vs. JC, Tay Roc vs. Swamp, Easy the Block Captain vs. Calicoe, Chess vs. Shotgun Suge, and Danny Myers vs. Fonz.

This year’s event has been heralded as the “Gun Show,” as one of battle rap’s most dangerous crew, Gun Titles, is headlining, further solidifying the URL as the world’s most respected MC battle arena.

Tsu Surf, who has arguably not lost one round in a battle for at least three years, and Tay Roc, the undisputed “Face of URL,” lead the collective of heat-spitters on this night of battles. Chess and Easy the Block Captain, two emcees who had the showing of the night at last year’s SM11, are sure to bring their grit, street talk, and performance to the event, further leaning into the mystique usually associated with the card.

“This year, Summer Madness 12 sold out before we announced the third battle. This affirms one thing, the URL has a level of favor with our fans, where they can trust we will deliver a fire card,” owner and founder, Troy “Smack White” Mitchell stated.

Adding, “And from the feedback we have been getting from our valued supporters, we not only completed the objective, bringing to the culture an amazing event, but we saluted some of the culture’s hardest working emcees like Calicoe (who arguably had the greatest battle in history and also a war waged a Summer Madness stage), Shotgun Suge (who is a contender for battler of the year with a flawless 2022 record), JC (our Ultimate Madness 5 winner), Swamp and Fonz (two of the most formidable emcees on our roster).”

Smack concluded, “The Gun Titles are electrifying, but if they are to dominate these top-notch competitors and fan favorites, they got to come correct. It is going to be a blood bath up there!”

Like every marquee event over the last 12 years, SM12 promises to build on that tradition with our streaming partner.

Exclusive: Geechi Gotti Speaks Ahead of “Drake’s Til Death Do Us Part” Battle Event

242211878 1255212968251134 7658773921646096703 n

This Saturday, Drake will take over Los Angeles alongside Ultimate Rap League for the “Drake’s Til Death Do Us Part” rap battle event. The event is the biggest card in rap battle history.

The battle is headlined by Geechi Gotti taking on Loaded Lux in a match-up of generational talents. The event will be live-streamed to fans on the Caffeine TV live streaming platform. The mega-event will be hosted by Drake to celebrate his birthday and URL’s 12th Anniversary on Saturday, October 30, 2021.

For Gotti, this moment is special for a variety of reasons. Aside from taking the stage as the hometown hero, he is standing tall as the poster child of battle rap.

Ahead of standing across from Loaded Lux before one of the most anticipated battles of all-time, Geechi Gotti spoke with The Source about preparing for the battle, Drake’s inclusion in the art form, and more.

What does it mean for you to have battle rap amplified with someone in the star power of Drake?

That’s big, you know, that’s huge. The magnitude where he at, the biggest artists in the world. So for him to come down to what we do and lend a helping hand as far as to get more eyes on it and get more people involved with it, that’s amazing. So I think all the artists involved in battle rap period are kind of excited just to have him around.

You mention the eyes that are on you. Going into this event you are the guy. No. 1. The face of the brand. How does that feel?

It really is the main reason we get into this. To be the main guy and on top of the food chain. For me at this stage of my career to be on top and have Drake being part, it means a lot. You don’t get no bigger than that. So it’s definitely time for me to go out this weekend and put on a great show for everybody in attendance or that’s going to be watching from their home.

You are heading into this against Loaded Lux, which for many people is a dream battle. What type of preparation does it take for you?

I don’t change up too much. Kind of more like, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. This kind of what got us to this point is the stuff that we’ve been doing. So I kind of want to, you know, stay true to that. I had a battle about a month ago, you know what I’m saying? So, um, but I’m used to the short prep and prepping back to back. So the only difference I would say preparation-wise for me was just zoning in a lot earlier than I usually do. I’m like a procrastinator sometimes. As far as the pioneering stature that he got, as long as he been doing this, he really takes his battles real particular. But our battle, me being the forefront man right now in the company and in battle rap period, it was kind of inevitable though.

You have a Jordan vs. LeBron meme online. Painting yourself as LeBron, in that comparison, some people already feel that Bron already passed Mike. He will admit that I’m sure you will too.

It’s battle rap. You gotta have that confidence. This is basically fighting with words. So it’s just like going into a boxing match. Like you gotta know, you gotta knock it out. We know we got three rounds and after that third, I gotta be the one that they cheer for. I gotta be the one that they leave this building saying, whoa. So you go in with that confidence that what you wrote down is enough to win this battle. No matter what your opponents say, I mean, I can’t stop what he do. That’s this one sport where I can’t stop him. He always going to have a chance, no matter what, unless he get up there and just decides to not say nothing, which ain’t going to happen.

You know, I’m glad you mentioned boxing. Terrence Crawford picks his fights in Texas, fighters will pick a home fight overseas. You’re going to get the home arena. At home, it’s reasonable to believe that you will have people on your side. Does that help you? Or do you even think that could be like an Achilles heel?

It’s a double-edged sword with that. I got a lot of love, so I won’t even disguise that fact, cause a lot of people will root for me in that building. My growth from the beginning of my career to now will be there and we don’t get these types of big events on the West Coast.

It’s a double-edged sword because they could be cheering for me. And on the outside looking in, it could look that like all the gas. But with Lux not being from here, it’s like, I never get to see you. We’ve only seen you on YouTube. He got fans all over the world. It’s those who out here in Cali, he might be they favorite battle rapper. So it may be some on his side and that’s ok.

Does this one feel different because it is in your home area? I’ve seen you on Billboards here.

Shoutout to Caffeine and Drake for amplifying this. I’ve been on some billboards before dealing with these battles, man, which was major, but he never was in my home state. I think I was one in Atlanta and some in New York before, but just the fact that I can literally drive and my family can see it is crazy. I don’t want to take that moment for granted. There’s somebody walking downtown LA passing by that right now and looking like, man, got it.

Once the event is wrapped up, what do you want new or existing fans to take away from this?

Take away that this sport takes a lot of time and preparation. It’s not easy. This is like some of the most difficult stuff to do, man. As far as rapping ability these are some of the best MCs in the world. Take in this craft because it is phenomenal.

For people that will get to know you a bit more this weekend, what would you want them to look out for in the future?

I got a lot going on. I got clothing on GeechiGotti.com. Shirts, hoodies, shorts, stuff for the ladies, all type of stuff, man. Of course, the music. If you any digital platform type in Geechi Gotti, I got plenty albums out. I got an album I’m working on right now. I’m working on this music heavy with hopes to drop at the end of the year. I’ll also be dropping that a podcast that goes weekly on caffeine.

SOURCE LATINO: Orlando Rapper Reverse Takes The U.S. Title In 2021 Batalla Rap Battle

Screen Shot 2021 09 18 at 7.41.37 PM 1

This weekend in the City of Angels, the best of the best Spanish-speaking emcees met under the roof of the Sunset Las Palmas Studios and battled it out for the champion title of the U.S. in the Red Bull-powered 2021 Batalla competition. Out of the sixteen Hispanic slang spitters, only one could walk away with bragging rights and the winner’s gold rope and this year Orlando’s Reverse walked away with the title.

Donned in a LACED 3.5 custom made jersey/hoodie, Reverse brought the same energy from the very beginning as he was the first to set it off on the mic in the competition against OG Frases, who Reverse took out in a unanimous decision. He then swiftly took down El Poeta to move himself into the semifinals. The Orlando native faced Tijuana born/Texas bred Betho, who proved to be difficult comp for all of his opponents, prompting several sudden deaths or “replícas” as they were dubbed in Batalla.

Last year’s top contenders El Dilema, who was eliminated in the first round and Jordi, who lost to Venezuela’s Eckonn in the quarterfinals, were proof that even amongst the best, the competition was almost impeccable compared to last year. El Dilema lost to Cuba, who repped his country to the fullest, losing only to the night’s king of the mic, Reverse.

Salute to all of the competitors of the night and look for Reverse to rep the U.S. in the Batalla World Finals.

King Of The Dot Brings Third Round Of Battles To Detroit

Screen Shot 2021 07 02 at 4.31.27 PM

More than 250,000 viewers tuned in to Twitch to watch live as battle rappers competed in downtown Los Angeles in the second round of this year’s King of the Dot (KOTD), but the third round is set for Motown.

KOTD brings the most competitive rappers from across America to clash with flows in head-to-head battles. The top four competitors from each division will move into sudden-death S1 playoffs, which begin in November where they compete for one winner to take home $100,000 in cash. 
Viewers on Twitch will be granted access to the exclusive closed set that offers a front-row seat for the battles. Not only will the battles be streamed for millions of fans around the world, but each fan will also play a role in voting on the winners. 

Winners of each battle are determined by their “Total Battle Score” or TBS. A TBS is comprised of the score each of the four judges gives the competitor, with a maximum of 10 points and a minimum of seven points per round. Fan votes are weighed as though they make up a single judge, with the rappers getting points depending on whether the win was convincing or close. Each battle, an artist can accumulate a maximum of 150 points, or a minimum of 111 points across the three rounds.
