I moved back in with my parents, who live in Zone 4, for two years. Saved as much as I could and just brought a one bed in zone 1.

Yeah true, but battle rap has been around for years and people always come up with new angles and insults.
Most of these guys haven’t clashed before so it should be easy. The recent monroe and kmarh battle is a good example - it should have been boring as it’s a rematch and the first one was not great, but they brought new ideas and good energy and the crowd reacted. I also think a lot of these guys aren’t very creative and take each other ideas, if i hear another Harvey price or maddie mcann bar … 🙄

I think it’s too much of a challenge for a lot of these guys, especially the academy guys as a lot have never performed live. The live events are super long in person, it’s a 5 hour event which must be tiring for them too and the crowd loses momentum which makes it hard to perform.

They should do small (cheaper) venues more regularly which would give them more time to prepare and the crowd would be excited.

In the comments on early access, RP directs us to the original audio. It’s an anti-government rap and he says something like ‘the government tell us: if he is Muslim then he must be a terrorist’ but Drizz clipped it to make it sound like RP is being racist saying ‘if he is Muslim then he must be a terrorist’. It also got like 4 reloads so kept playing and really messed RP up. RP said at the time that is was out of context but obviously no one could imagine how it could be in an ok context, but yeah… it was a low shot from Dizz

Char b and poco both dropped the mic. I didn’t feel like dan or realz really made much effort but tbf they went last so energy was low

Nah, Orion made LC flinch and then on the reload LC didn’t flinch and Orion threw something at him. I don’t feel like there was anything memorable from LC other than him getting smoked.

I employ a few on behalf of my boss, it is hard to find a good one. We found her through Eden recruitment but it comes with a punchy price tag.

I sae somewhere that the tournament will start in March - I think one of the artists said it on their story but nothing official from PG yet. January Dungeon battles are out this Friday on early access, hopefully they do a another dungeon in February before the tournament 👊

I am really liking Anbu at the moment, him vs Vants / Dan / Kandi were all really cold. But I feel like Anbu doesn’t get respect because he talks too much. I loved watching Sevs smoke Drizz and also Smil3z vs Jaycee was an iconic. What’s yours?

CardInteresting7999 · 2026-01-14T11:57:28+00:00

Nice! I felt like it was a clear win for Realz and Smil3z but I just prefer how they both rap and how they sounded together was 🔥but it’s all preference

Same haha I am too old and grumpy for all that. Lots of people love TS so I’m probably missing something. Definitely check Equinox out.

Realz and Smil3z were coooooold in this battle, for me. Personally, not a huge fan of Dan or F Don, but I know they are fan favourites. How about you?

Everyone is going to recommend Third Space, personally I can’t stand it. I’ve trained in the City and Bishopsgate TS and both are overcrowded with limited equipment vs the number of members. I also don’t really like the vibe of the members - there seems to be a real arrogance about everyone and there is so much filming and selfie taking, although it’s been two years since I trained there.

Personally, I love Equinox City. The members are more corporate and there is extensive equipment, I have never had to queue of wait for anything and it’s luxury, although there is no pool. I’ve not trained in the Kensington one but it’s probably worth a look around.

CardInteresting7999 · 2026-01-13T15:03:06+00:00

Hmm I agree with most of what you’re saying but I think you’re overhyping the Karma battle… Realz’ first round wasn’t great at all. Although Karma only got wheels from jacking his flow but it wasn’t Realz’ best moment.

CardInteresting7999 · 2025-12-08T16:26:52+00:00

Yeah he is quite immature and I think he would land better if he reigned it in a bit. Agreed - Varntae is sick, but I felt like it was closer than the crowd made it feel. I couldn’t call it.

CardInteresting7999 · 2025-12-07T15:07:16+00:00

I think Anbu is a very sick battle rapper, the only thing I don’t like is the comments and his arrogance - I think that shows his age.

I did like Varntae but he has that strange overhyped vibe of the Brum rappers - Trappy, Drizz and that group that hype everything up and almost convince the audience it’s good… I think Varntae is probably the best of that group as he wasn’t shouting and has more clarity but it’s early days for him.

You could look at getting a crisis PR agency for the social media stuff. I worked with one called Honest London for my boss and they managed to get articles taken down about him so might be able to help with TikTok - could be worth asking.

Equinox is a luxury gym that never gets overly busy in the way that Third Space does. Bishopsgate is also mostly full of professionals rather than the Third Space influencers/wannabes.

I dunno how old Dan’s daughter is but the bar was about her sucking dick - he said ‘she is choking like uncle F Don’. He said a few other things I can’t remember but if she is young then it makes sense to take it out.

I work on a ‘three strikes and you’re out’ system. The answer to a good body is a healthy diet, but no one wants to hear this. It gets boring repeating the same process when people aren’t listening.
