Much love to everybody in attendance for making MD2 so enjoyable, and thanks to PB for another stellar event.
I’m pleased to have won my first clash in D1 by unanimous decision, starting as I mean to go on in what will be my most active year yet 🦈
VOD:
I had a great time making my
@PremierBattle
debut yesterday!
Rubbing shoulders with some real all-timers was totally surreal, and the welcome I received in Manchester was overwhelming - thanks to absolutely everyone who came along 💜

When my APEX battle flopped, he put it on his card.
When the draft happened, he was the first to put faith in me.
And when Shark City came calling, he left a decision he had every right to veto entirely up to me.
Almost nobody helps young talent in UKBR more than
@MrItsStro
💐
Better late than never!
I’m very excited to make my
@PremierBattle
debut next month, and the chance to do so on such a great card really does make it worth the wait for me.
After an unlucky run of cancellations, I intend to make this one count double.
Manchester, here I come…
My latest battle with Frost just went live on the YouTube!
I’ve always been a big fan of Frost, so it was a pleasure to share the ring with him.
Thanks to Premier Battles for having us, and for always doing such a stellar job on the edits.
My Premier Battles debut is out now on YouTube!
This was a load of fun in the room, and I’m glad a wider audience can now enjoy it online.
Much love to everybody who has engaged with it, and thanks again to PB for having me 🦈
Reeverse Vs Savant:
So many fans I spoke to at The Plug said it was their first event, and with the levels shown I’m sure it won’t be their last.
Shuffle and Shotty put on a UK classic, Quill was sensational, and Bobby was electric. There’s a reason these guys are at the top of the food chain.
1/3
It’s been a long-term goal of mine to battle Georgie, so yesterday was a pleasure. He’s a top competitor and a class act; I’m really happy with our clash.
This continues my winning streak on PB, which, for the record, is still only getting started.
VOD:
Five.
Formi - Tryout - DF
Carlton Shanks - Promo - DF
Kinell - Promo - DF
Savant - Promo - PB
Crow - Judged W - PB
I’m also a Pisces, if that helps, and my favourite film is Alien.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any further enquiries during the buildup to our battle.
Hello again, Frost.
I was a pupil at ████████ during the years ████-████.
If you require any further information on this matter, I’m sure the Customer Service Team at ABK would be happy to assist you.
Kind regards,
██████.
1/3 🧵
Battling on such late notice was risky, and I couldn’t be happier.
I’ve learned to trust my instincts as a battler in the last 48 hours.
Loso was incredible, and the experience of facing such an electric performance will be invaluable.

🥱
Look, I don’t really do the trash-talk online; my material will speak for itself.
After postponing this battle for 3 months and making such a ludicrous comment, I hope yours does too.
Have a good one, mate.
I sure hope you're ready man 'cos I'm not sure you fully understand what's coming. This is battle of the night or your insides painting the ceiling, so please choose wisely
I’m thrilled to announce that the full edit of my Premier Battles debut has just landed on Patreon!
I’m very proud of this one, so please support it at if you’re in a position to do so.
The clash will be available publicly on YouTube from 29/01/23 🦈
@Slester_HipHop
Fuck a big fish in a small pond; I’m a blue whale in a shot glass -
@Shuffle_T
I’ve passed with flying colours like Mystery Ball -
@Frankie_Phraser
Copping knuckledusters, I had them fashioned out of gold, like if Frost is a snowman I’ve got carats for his nose -
@CoJayLives
The disrespect to the league, the fans, and the battlers who were prepared is unacceptable. We as a scene need to talk seriously about accountability going forward.
Regardless, the three battles still happening today will all be fantastic. Come along for free and show support 💙
🚨 UPDATE 🚨
Unfortunately, todays event has been a complete disaster with zero time left to resolve the issues.
Last night we received messages from both Villun & Dialect removing themselves from their battle due to different reasons. (1)
After a series of (un)fortunate events, Frost and I will now be headlining Undisclosed 9!
You’ll definitely want to be in the room for this one, as none of the best bits will make the final edit.
Seriously, though, it should be quite good.
Tickets:
Many thanks and much love to everybody doing their bit to provide for this scene that provides so much for us. That goes for all fans, staff, battlers, and media.
What we’re building together is special, it is growing, and it doesn’t stop here.
Onwards and upwards now…
3/3
I’m afraid I’d expended all my sass in the pit.
Why don’t we both bring the best three rounds we’ve ever written and leave it at that?
I don’t plan on speaking to you again before next Sunday.
All the best.
You may well be right.
The move isn’t something I sought out at all, but the opportunity fell in my lap and I felt I’d be a fool not to take it.
I’m under no illusions as to how hard I’ll have to work to justify my choice.
However, if it’s sink or swim, I’m glad I’m a Shark 🦈
It would be my pleasure to prove you wrong, sir.
If you’re serious, you know where to find me.
Sidenote: first Lazy, now me… it appears you have a type.
Wow, this is very high praise to receive - thank you, Bobby - but I’m really proud of my boy
@KingsleeThunder
for clinching it. He deserves it!
Personally I’m delighted with my spot in D2 on
@Venom_PB
, and I’m looking forward to earning D1 next year by fighting for promotion 🐍
I was also inspired by the standard of the tryouts at Short Circuit; the baseline quality of UKBR has never been higher.
Fellow newcomers, there is talent HOT on our heels!
The Wiretap Cypher afterwards was terrific, and should absolutely become a staple feature at events.
2/3
I’ve been a fan of Orwin since before my first battle, so it was really cool to see him remix this!
Orwin Vs Kinell dropped yesterday and was thoroughly entertaining:
For those interested, my Kinell clash can also be found here:
Thank you, mate!
For me personally Battler Of The Year is between Cojay and Gemin1, and it comes down to The Plug.
Bizzo, Unan, Quill, Bobby, and Shuffle are all in and around there as well.
I’ve never made the list before, so I’ll be happy sneaking in anywhere in the Top 10.
Welcome to the APEX | Day 2
📍 Sunday 11th September
📍 Factory 251, Manchester
Manchester legend
@RaptorWarhurst
headlines day two against
@OppaFromDiscord
one of the most excitinf newcomers in BR!
Tickets:
My main doubt when joining Sharks was about filling the boots not only of a certified UKBR legend but a personal favourite, so this really means a lot - thank you!
I’ll be there to watch you in March, and I’d love to get a drink after and meet you properly.
All the best, bro 🦈
Got me feeling like Aguero right now ngl 😪
I go on a little holiday to Barcelona for a few weeks, come back and some Norwegian robot
@elliotreeverse
has took my spot in the team 😫
I checked him out, and I officially hand over my Shark City Jersey..
He is FIRE
Not long to go now!
This Match Day 2 card is stacked from top to bottom and it would be really cool if it sold out, so get your tickets at 🎟️
I’ll be making my Division 1 debut against Crow, and I’ve got a point to prove. Roll on Saturday 🦈
In 4 weeks’ time I’ll be making my return to Bristol for the
@DontFlop
14th Birthday event!
I’ll be taking on DF veteran
@ZainAzraiTweets
(yes, really - you read that right) in a clash you won’t want to miss.
Get your tickets at ; I hope to see you there!
I’m excited to announce my most recent battle has just dropped on the
@DontFlop
YouTube channel! I hope you enjoy it; shouts to
@ghastbuff
for the edit 🙌🏻
Reeverse Vs
@Colak
:
@CoJayLives
I think the top five of the recent era are Georgie, Slester, Vizual, MOAK, and Black T.
Tek could also be there, but I’m not exactly sure when he debuted.
All of those people slightly predate my crop, which I’d consider to be Kingslee Thunder, Ghast Buff, Coopar, and Crow.
I really appreciate this bro, especially as it was an idea you set the blueprint for.
Of course the situation wasn’t ideal, but after two consecutive cancellations I just wanted to get some bars off!
Congrats on the win yesterday also; it was a performance fit for a champion 👑
So
@MrItsStro
and myself came to a deal regarding one of his battlers joining the current D1 champs, Shark City..
Great doing business with you bro. Good luck this coming season to the Venom boys! See you next season in D1
Watching Gemin1 Vs Rivers made me want to rap and quit rapping in equal measure.
PB have given us a handful of BOTY contenders already, and this one is the benchmark for me.
Find the battle at: 🔥
The breakdown on the DF podcast will be out soon ⏳
Both a modern battle of wits and an old school grudge match, this is easily one of the year’s liveliest clashes.
As Black T continues to improve with no sign of letting up, Villun dispels any doubts about his application nowadays how only a vet could.
Out now on the PB Patreon!

3/3 🧵
But there’s no rest for the wicked.
In two weeks I go again on this ridiculous card!
I’m glad to hear Lazy is rethinking the “best three rounds he’s ever written” after seeing what I threw together in a couple days.
So it goes.
Tickets:
@Slester_HipHop
@bigbobbyrex
Without a doubt. You know how much I love to nitpick/critique things, and I couldn’t say a word against it. It ticks every single box, and epitomises how great Bobby’s redemption arc has been in my opinion.
@DontFlop
returns to Bristol this month for the April Fools event! I’ll be battling
@Colak
on what is a brilliant card from top to bottom. Be sure to get your tickets at while they’re only £5 👀
@unanymousmate
There are far too many to choose from, but a great one I haven’t seen yet on this thread:
“I get the urge to wear his fur; I’ve got Cruella’s habits/
If he’s got thick skin, I skin him, like ‘check my new leather jacket’/
It’s made from Quill but it ain’t goose-feather-padded!”

Both the established guys and the DF debuts all showed out, and I hope to see a lot more of everybody involved 👀
If you’re able to support, please do:
@Frankie_Phraser
@TheSaurus831
Thank you both so much! It honestly means the world.
As a sidenote, one of you needs to hop on a plane very soon because I can’t go much longer without seeing you two battle 👀
@Slester_HipHop
is one of the most unique talents produced by UKBR in recent years, and in my view deserves much more credit when discussing the best youngsters in the scene.
He’s also a cool guy.
AND it’s his birthday, so please watch his latest battle:
@UsdiTwoThree
Thank you, mate - I just wish I’d have known it was happening so I didn’t have to pen a verse in 20 minutes 😅
More importantly, you absolutely killed it! Starting your first ever round with a rebuttal is a mad way to introduce yourself. I’ll be keeping an eye on your next one.
@rootstlo
@PremierBattle
Thank you, mate. I’ve enjoyed watching it back this morning as well, and your rounds were incredible. Absolute pleasure making this battle with you 🤝🏻
@Frankie_Phraser
I’ve only just seen this and I really appreciate it - it was a pleasure catching up with you last weekend too mate. I’ll do my best to prove you right
@Frankie_Phraser
I appreciate this mate 🙌🏻 for various reasons I haven’t been able to battle as much as I’d have liked to this year, but you can expect me to be back with a vengeance very soon.
@hylasgeist
Thank you mate! I really don’t know what my next move will be; I’d like to take a little time off, but I could certainly be tempted by anything arriving in my inbox.
As for the defense, I’m glad you noticed! I had to force it at times because Kinell had some hilarious stuff.
Thank you mate, that means a lot coming from someone with as much love for the craft as you have. Plus, I needn’t mention, you and
@NoahFenceMate
did something truly unique and absolutely smashed it as well. Amazing. I am totally not bitter about you stealing my POTN shouts 🙃
Wanted to send another huge shout out of respect to
@elliotreeverse
who put on a fucking incredible performance yesterday at the
@DontFlop
event. Guy has levelled up x 10 from his previous match.
@Frankie_Phraser
I go back to this so often, bro, and it blows my mind in a different way every time. Be it music, freestyles, battles, or anything else - it’s just one of my favourite pieces of rap. 10/10.
Another brilliant
@DontFlop
event this Saturday! Biggup to all the battlers, the staff, and everybody who came through for making it what it was. VOD out soon 👀
@ghastbuff
@Frankie_Phraser
This is a two way street mate; people like yourself and Coopar motivate me most. Lots of newcomers get a buzz and start mentioning names above their station, and it’s a disservice to the top clashes they could put on with their peers if they were only willing (as you two showed).
@Joesenbergg
Cheers Joe! It obviously wasn’t how I anticipated my performance going down, but it gave me some valuable experience if nothing else. Thank you for your help beforehand too bro.
The
@DontFlop
April Fools event yesterday was amazing start to finish; not a single clash disappointed, and with fourteen of them on the card that’s no mean feat! Thanks to everybody who came along, and respect to both the battlers and the staff for putting on such a good show 🙌🏻
Well, the cat’s out the bag! While you’re here
@PremierBattle
, any chance I could get one of those cool graphics? I’ve been wanting to change my profile picture for a while 🥺
@hylasgeist
I appreciate that mate, glad you enjoyed it! That was one of my favourite lines too. But I can’t complain about being slept on; I got far more reaction than I expected overall, and the crowd really kept pace with the battles throughout the day. Thank you for supporting the PPV :)
@Colak
@XanderGrey_
@DontFlop
I think you’ve summed it up perfectly there. It’s very much a case-by-case thing, but one always runs the risk of looking silly if they seem to be taking themselves too seriously.
@Quillyrics
Thank you, bro - your advice has helped me a lot over the past few months, and I really appreciate how you’ve used your platform to get my name out there. Looking forward to catching you at Match Day 1!
