For years, battle rap's premier league, URL, has been met with criticism for placing certain rappers on a pedestal based on their profile and popularity rather than skill. They have since addressed the issue, but there is still a noticeable divide between the rookies and the vets, with tension and resentment building between the two groups at times.

URL's next card should put all debate to rest as seven battle rap vets will take on seven relative newcomers to see which class really has the most skills. The card is as follows.

T-Top vs. Charlie Clips
Brizz Rawsteen vs. Aye Verb
Chess vs. DNA
Prep vs. John John Da Don
Th3 Saga vs. Shotgun Suge
Mr. Wavy vs. K-Shine
Sno vs. Real Deal

The battles will take place at Gramercy Theater in New York City on March 28th. While this is a full-on battle event, many see it as a warm up to N.O.M.E. 5 featuring one of the most anticipated battles in URL history, Charlie Clips vs. Hollow Da Don. N.O.M.E. 5 goes down on May 9th.

Check out the trailer above.
