Clash of The Multiverse Returns June 28th, Where Two Worlds of Richmond Competitive Rap Collide!
June 9, 2025, 8:00 a.m. ET
Southpaw Battle Coalition founded in 2016 is a pure battle rap league where emcees face off in one on one verbal combat in acapella form to determine lyrical supremacy.
RVA Rap Elite founded in 2018 is a league of cypher emcees who compete in solo and team competitions to prove who the most elite emcees are over instrumentals.
The Clash pits teams of 10 of the best emcees from each platform against each other in a gauntlet of competitions to determine which platform is supreme, and ultimately which emcee of all is the ILLEST. In our first Clash Team Southpaw was the victor, with current Southpaw Champion Ro$$eTTi as MVP.
Ro$$eTTi | Southpaw World Champion
B.D.M. | Team Rap Elite, and Sound Clash Champion, claims belt at the 'Ready For The High' show, March, 2025.
Each emcee will compete in 3 different segments:
20 Emcee Bring Your Own Beat Cypher: Each Emcee gets 2 minutes to rap over the beat of their choice to be scored by our judges.
One Round 1 on 1 Battles: Each emcee will be randomly matched up against an emcee from the opposing team. Each emcee will have 3 minutes to rap acapella and the battled scored and winner chosen by our judges.

5 on 5 Team Battles: Both teams will split themselves into 2 teams of 5 and will face off against the opposing teams in 2 separate 5 on 5 battles where the audience will chose the winners.
