Get It In - Marv Won

I'm not one for battles, unless they're lyrical ... hip-hop makes the world go round ... spherical.

Anyone can make words rhyme, but not everyone can rap, especially in battle.

Battle rapping is a completely different sector of hip-hop, more dirty, raunchy and proof that a person's mightiest weapon is their vocabulary and slow-thinking is a player's ultimate downfall.

The past few months I've been watching more battles and after witnessing DNA's downfall at St. Andrew's for the RedBull EmSee finals, my interest has been piqued.

There are three battle rappers I pay particular attention to over others, one being Marv Won (the other two are Moe Dirdee and Quest MCODY, quite predictable right?).


URL TV  hosted one of the most anticipated battles, Marv Won v. Cortez.

Maybe you're not too familiar with why this is important, from the way I understand things, the two were supposed to battle a year ago but Cortez backed out. Well, Cortez finally accepted Marv's challenge and the two went head to head.

Here's the official trailer and the actual battle is going up October 14 at 3 p.m.

It's almost like that after school fight that was going to go down on the playground ... minus the lunchboxes.
