In another unexpected announcement, KOTD revealed that Don't Flop founder Eurgh will be battling at "Blackout 5." He joins an already stacked card that features Hitman Holla, T-Rex, Bishop Brigante, Rone and more, that is steadily getting more stacked with each new daily trailer.

This trailer is among the most surprising yet, since Eurgh and the Toronto-based league had a very public dispute after Eurgh told KOTD to "suck [his] dick" in a Don't Flop battle against Canadian emcees Bender and Loe Pesci at the end of 2013.
Check out T.O. Battle Blog's detailed breakdown of the rivalry from when it was happening, which features BattleRap.com editor-in-chief Chris Mitchell.
Obviously the BO5 announcement shows that the controversy is now in the past, perhaps helped in part by British duo Shuffle-T and Marlo presenting a peace treaty to Lush One at "Battle Of Los Angeles 5" in June.
In a Facebook post after the trailer dropped, Eurgh wrote: "YES. THE BIG FUCK OFF BENGAL TIGER CAT IS OUT OF THE SANTA CLAUSE SACK SIZED BAG. I'm going to #BLACKOUT5 and heads are coming OFF! This will be my defining performance. Mark my words. S/O the businessmen over at #KOTD - This event is a milestone in battle rap."
Long considered one of the best battle emcees in the U.K., Eurgh has previously made several high-quality appearances on KOTD — against Kid Twist and The Saurus — as well as in a classic against DNA that just passed one million YouTube views:
