E. Ness delves into his creative resurgence through battle rap. After initially gaining fame for his appearance on "Making the Band," Ness had aspirations beyond being pigeonholed as a battle rapper. However, during a challenging phase marked by depression and homelessness, he turned to battle rap as a form of artistic therapy and a chance to reintroduce himself to the emerging Gen-Z audience. While a rematch with Jae Millz was initially on the cards, it was Mysonne who eventually stepped up, leading to a formidable showdown that E. Ness describes as a significant victory post-Making the Band. This battle not only rekindled his career but also cemented his status within the battle rap community. Ness also touched on the competitive nature of battle rap, noting how it not only revitalized his career but also paved the way for personal growth, allowing him to navigate industry challenges and forge new connections.
