This past Saturday (Oct. 18) King Of The Dot’s Fresh Coast division held “The Rebirth” in Fresno, California. Despite issues with the venue(s) that led to several relocations throughout the night, the card was still apparently chock-full of entertaining battles.
Eleven match-ups were scheduled for the card, eight took place:
Jonny Storm vs. Reverse Live
A-Class vs. Megadef
Lex D vs. Laugh N’ Stalk
Esem vs. Epic90Vah
Urban The Element vs. Type-Z
Logik The Saint vs. Young One
Rubba Tung vs. Billy Boondocks
YNot vs. AB Hogish
Joe Cutter vs. Cadalack Ron, Mack Moli vs. Emerson Kennedy and Patton’s Ghost vs. Override didn’t materialize for various reasons.
Here are some Instagram videos showing the police shutting down the event (the first time).

After the night was cut short, Lush One took to Twitter to suggest that the battles that didn’t take place could be featured on the “Ether” warm-up card, scheduled for Nov. 8.

That was before the crowd found its way to a nearby house, where a few more battles happened in the backyard, before more police forced people inside.
Lex D and Laugh N’ Stalk checked in with BattleRap.com the day after the event to weigh in on their battle and to recap how the entire night went down.
We've also collected some of the night's chatter here.
