After months of lead-up, GO-Rilla Warfare's "The Crown 2" is finally going down this weekend (Nov. 20-21) in Markham, Ill., about an hour's drive south of Chicago. The card has been touted by most fans as one of the best of the year, and has definitely captured the attention of battlers and bloggers.
Here's what people are saying about the match-ups ahead of the event:
Jay Blac
Battle rap blogger Jay Blac breaks down the significance of Aye Verb vs. Tsu Surf, framing the clash as the biggest warmup match ever, with Verb rumored to be facing Loaded Lux in 2016 and Surf saying he's up against Murda Mook.
Chris Unbias
On Lady Luck vs. O'fficial: "I'm not really excited about this battle. I don't know when the last time we saw a Lady Luck battle. Is she even good now? Do she even have bars like that? Can she even deal with the way battle rap is today? I don't know but I got O'fficial winning this battle. I think it'll be an easy win for O'fficial. Maybe I'm sleeping on Lady Luck but ain't nothing told me she gon' beat O'fficial."
Danny Myers
On Young Kannon vs. John John Da Don: "I got Young Kannon 3-0. John John might be mad at me, but Kannon has beat a lot of the toughest opponents over the years and people just for some reason tend to overlook that. Kannon is not a game. He is not a joke ... John John has been dope. He was dope in the Prep battle, he was dope versus Charlie Clips ... He beat Reed Dollaz, John John has been on some shit lately, he's been stepping his bars up. He beat Mr. Wavy clearly, but he going up against a different type of animal and I would give John John a round, but I'm not gonna do it. I got Young Kannon 3-0."

Daylyt on Charlie Clips vs. Big Kannon: "I'm going with Big Kannon but at the end of the day nobody's gonna care because Big Kannon's not gonna do an antic like I told him to do, and I hope he does do an antic like I'm telling him to do, or Clips is gonna freestyle his way through another debatable and that's a win for Clips."
Chilla Jones
On Aye Verb vs. Tsu Surf: "A lot of people say Verb is unbeatable in the MidWest. He's gonna lose to Surf. I haven't been genuinely impressed by Verb ... since his first against Danny [Myers] ... Surf is motivated, so I got Surf 2-1."
CJ City
On Ill Will vs. K-Shine: "This battle is dope. This battle is gonna be crazy. Crazy energy, crazy bars ... I just feel like K-Shine is really on top of his pen game right now and I don't know where Ill Will's head is at to be honest with you. Ill Will is dope but if I had to choose a winner on this one, I'm going with K-Shine."
