Skepta throws a lyrical jab at Joyner Lucas – Lucas responds. Now we’ve got across-continental rap battle that has the streets watching.

Skepta lit the match and Joyner Lucas is right here for the smoke. Lyrical warfare, it’s. The North London grime rapper dropped “Friendly Fire” and determined it was time for the gloves to return off.

“Joyner Lucas you bastard/You sound like you come from Harvard,” he rapped. Joyner Lucas observed.

Lucas has formally fired again and each rappers appear to be holding their greatest materials within the chamber. This is unquestionably heating up quick. The bars are coming, followers are selecting sides and YouTube reactors are most likely licking their lips. “Give me some UK subscribers!”

Nobody’s gone nuclear simply but. These really feel like sparring rounds. But the potential is positively there. I hope they loosen up.

There’s an air of stress. We simply heard about OVO affiliate Top5 getting stabbed within the U.Okay., although particulars are nonetheless unclear. While that incident doesn’t seem linked to rap, the timing is eerie. Anything can occur.

The framing of this as a U.Okay. vs U.S. showdown feels a bit outdated. It’s not 2007. We want collabs except there’s pleasant competitors. Skepta drew a bizarre line between U.Okay. rappers and the American South; a comparability that doesn’t actually maintain up.

Maybe URL or one other battle league steps in and truly organizes a battle. That manner the followers win and the rappers receives a commission. Until then, let’s benefit from the bars.
