Based on yesterday's Drake-attended press conference and Thursday's KOTD/New Era hat launch, it's safe to say we have two very exciting days of battle rap ahead of us.
Tonight's main event is Hitman Holla vs. Shotty Horroh, which was already set to blow the roof off Toronto's Queen Elizabeth Theatre, but will be even more electric with Drake's $10,000 going to the winner of the now-judged battle. Check out our full preview of that match-up here.
Now, the good news:
