Drake has made it clear he’s an active fan of battle rap, as the rapper previously put up an additional $50,000 to the winner of the NOME XI event. Recently, URL revealed that they’ll be hosting a Drake Card event for the rapper’s birthday. Via Instagram, Drake showed off what’s going to go down at the “Til Death Do Us Part” event.
The URL and OVO event is set to take place on October, and battles between Loaded Lux and Geechi Gotti, Pat Stay and Real Sikh, Tay Roc and Nu Jurzy Twork are scheduled. While speaking on the battles during the video, Drake said, “These are battles that are fueled by rivalry, hate, a true chance to silence all the talking and definitely set up moments that will rewrite legacy, and rewrite history for some people.”
Drake went on to say, “I really put this event together because there’s so much time we spend debating, in sport, in competition, what if, you know? What would happen if this person had to go up against this person? You know, a lot of the time our debates stem from our dream match ups, and this event, fortunately for us in battle rap, is that debate coming to life.” Take a look above.
