Hip hop entertainment took one giant step forward when King Of The Dot battles started in 2008. For two years now, fans have laughed until they cried, cringed, clapped, booed, belly-ached, debated and recited classic lines from over 200 battles. Combine knee slapping comedy, title fight anticipation, true-school hip hop wordplay and theatrical showmanship and you start to see what makes King Of The Dot Canada’s premier battle league.

Since then, we’ve released over 200 videos from over 40 events in 4 different divisions (Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver) featuring approximately 150 battle rappers.
