KOTD's "Battle Of The Bay 7" event is finally here and is set to take place today and Friday in Oakland, Calif.
KOTD unveiled the full card at the end of last month though the main draw has for months remained the "battler vs. industry rapper" match-up between Arsonal and Mistah F.A.B. Leading up to that headline battle, B Magic will take on Pass, Bender will face off against The Saurus and Rum Nitty will battle Lotta Zay. (Check our event article to see the full lineups for both days.)
Leading up to the event, the KOTD Media channel has offered up some vlogs for the match-ups. Check out the previews, blogs, and tweets from the battlers below.
