KOTD Champion Rone defends the title for the first time this weekend against challenger Caustic at “World Domination 6” in Toronto.

The championship is the main event of an annual three-day battle rap event with a Toronto crowd being entertained by rappers from around the globe such as England, South Africa, and Australia. Of course, North America will be represented with the best talent around to compete in this extravaganza.

The winner of this battle will receive $1,000 and bragging rights for another half a year.

HipHopDX reached out to both rappers for comment when the match-up was first announced in July.

“I feel ready and, ultimately, disrespected,” Rone replied. “People ‘rah-rahed’ for me going into the title match and now I’m suddenly a bad champion? Why? Because I took care of business in the title match against a bad performance? It’s bullshit and I’m sorry that I have to take it out on Caustic,” Rone said, addressing the flak he’s taken from some fans who say he hasn’t been doing enough to rep the league as its champion.

Caustic was more positive in his response.

“I feel the best about battling I’ve felt in a long time,” the Oakland-based rapper said. “This is the most focused I’ve been since like 2010. I believe that I am one of the greatest to ever do it and now I’ve been given a platform to prove it. I feel like my old self again. This is going to be a very different title match than the last one. Leaving it all in the ring, going for blood, and bringing the title to Oakland for the very first time.”

According to an informal poll of 500 fans done by BattleRap.com, Caustic is going into this one as the underdog.
