The rap battle took place last Saturday at Biber Baron where a set of rappers faced each other. The battles were between MC Jono vs Eto, Kgox VS Osama Bin Chaplin, Poseidon vs Last Poet, Holocaust vs Ill Minded and Quaint vs Ill Law.
The rap battle was being judged by rap heads Konkrete, KEB, Shay and L The Street. Each rapper was given two 2:15secs in a round. A battle had three rounds.
Despite having a number of rap battles lined up for the day, the battle between Kgox and Osama Bin Chaplin was the one to watch. Both MCs came in undefeated since last year. They battled each other as they both delivered massive ammunition which made it difficult for one to decide who the winner was.
The two rappers battled each other by dissing one another. Osama Nin Chaplin seemed to be handling and controlling the battle well with his quick thinking and metaphorical raps until Kgox responded with a full package rap that had rhymes, punch lines, creativity and metaphors as he mixed Spanish and English words on his raps.
Osama Bin Chaplin made a quick come back as he responded with catchy bars that caught the attention of the audience.
The two MCs exchanged rap jabs for three rounds. The audience was kept entertained at every moment of this battle as they cheered up to the raps up until the judges elected Osama Bin Chaplin as the winner which did not go down well with most people as they requested for one more round, but the decision by the judges was final.
From the look of things, it was supposed to be a tie as both rappers delivered solid bars that left none of them on the losing side.
Other battles went fairly well as the MCs took jabs at each other delivering different bars and dissing each other to be the better man.
At the end of the day, MC Jono, Poseidon, Holocaust, Osama Bin Chaplin and Quaint came out as the winners of the rap battle. All the MCs save for Holocaust will be going to the finals of the rap battle, which has been scheduled for end of March.
