What started as just a simple idea proposed during a company meeting by Battle Rap journalist Michael Hughes has now evolved into a full-blown battle league. Through various interviews conducted by Hughes as well as business meetings with Vlad, one of Battle Rap's elite MCs, Math Hoffa, was brought on board and contributed greatly to the first ever Killaz Battle League event. Combine those two factors with VladTV's colossal presence on the Internet, and you have the birth of Killaz, a fresh and powerful battle league to help the culture evolve as a whole.
The first Killaz Battle, which went down on May 11th, 2013, was a highly anticipated gritty street match between two of the realest MCs in the game, Iron Sheikh and Brooklyn Hanz. Both rappers are certified when it comes to their street cred, which only made this battle and the bars they spit more interesting and believable for fans to enjoy. Iron Sheikh, a Bronx representative, came spitting hard street bars combined with a conscious, preacher-like style reminiscent of his Lionz Den teammate, Loaded Lux. N.Y.B member Hanz came with pure aggression, gritty bars, and an impressively clean and polished performance, considering this was his first battle to ever be caught on film.
It could be judged either way depending on which style of rap you like best. Who do you think won, Iron Sheikh, or Brooklyn Hanz?
**Round 2 of Brooklyn Hanz vs Iron Sheikh will drop tomorrow, May 30th, 2013 at 12 p.m.
Stay tuned.
