On the heels of the Illmaculate vs. Pat Stay title match announcement, KOTD has released a second trailer for its Aug. 20-23 event in Toronto.
This pairing was actually part of our "Five Match-Up Ideas For WD5" article from last month. Here's what we wrote about it then:
Rone is finally getting his due. After a string of unparalleled bad luck with opponents no-showing on him, the Philly rapper is back on track and making the most of it, putting on standout performances, one of which made him a viral sensation for a few days. He wasn't at his best against Goodz at "MASSacre," but he wasn't bad enough to impact his current runaway-train momentum too much.
Since dipping back into the scene, Twist has shown moments of greatness in his 2-on-2 against Shuffle-T and Marlo and his "Back To Basics" style clash against John John Da Don. His complex rebuttals, incisive wit and clever angles would be a perfect foil to Rone, who, like Twist, knows how to write in a way that's concise and direct enough for an audience to grasp it live.
This match-up has been a long time coming, and it still makes sense now that Rone is at the peak of his abilities and Twist has cemented his spot as a KOTD legend.
