In this episode, I take you through the build up of my battle vs Soul, from what I'm doing with 5 days to go, then the day OF the battle and then a few days after. It was an idea I had in order to draw attention to the battle which is being released tonight (12/12/20) at 7pm! It was interesting to think about the process, so I hope you guys enjoy it!

Shuffle T vs Anton Murphy
Lol. By that I mean it’s just me going through the lyrics to one of my old battles. Namely my Anton Murphy battle. This was really fun and I love looking through my old writing to see how much it’s changed. I think you’ll like this one.

The Tony D Special
Well, here he is. This is the 2nd ex UK Champion we've had on the show, this one being Tony D. This man has had a long and varied career in rap, ranging from performing with Poisonous Poets to rap battling all around the country. We talk about where rhyme sits in his list of priorities, how he feels about rap and writing now, compare to how he used to feel about it, about ambition, editing and how he writes those punchlines he has become so known for. I know you're all going to enjoy this one, it was an excellent chat. Have a listen for yourself and SHARE if you can!
