KOTD dropped a bombshell this week by announcing the surprise return of NYC battle rap legend Iron Solomon, who will be facing Daylyt this August at "World Domination 5" in Toronto. Solomon was a standout emcee in the early days of battle rap but has been out of the game since taking an L to Murda Mook on URL in 2012.
Twitter fans were quick to react with the overall responses typically falling into two categories: awe and ridicule.
Here are some of the best reactions:
I told you iron solomon was coming back.

Hopefully we get the Iron Solomon that battled ENess & Math vs the Daylyt that battled Charlie Clips & Chilla Jones. Could be a classic #WD5
