Hailing from Ottawa, Ontario, Bender is one of the most respected battle MCs his country has ever produced. A former King of the Dot champion, Bender built his reputation from the ground up, winning his first 7 battles on his way to the chain before taking his first loss to Sketch Menace. He has had high profile matches with rappers like Illmaculate, 24/7, Arcane and Arkaic and has battled both in multiple divisions of KOTD and across the pond in Britain's Don't Flop battle league, impressing audiences everywhere he performs.
Bender is known for his sharp lyrical style, complex metaphors and gravelly delivery. His abilities with a pen are considered among the best in the world, and the music he creates with his crew Flight Distance is critically acclaimed. His match with Syd Vicious will be the first of his career in the United States and his first in KOTD's Fresh Coast division.
One of Georgia's most consistent and consistently underrated performers, Syd Vicious has been dominating his scene and waiting for the chance to showcase his skills on battle rap's biggest stage. A veteran of Grind Time who has travelled across the country taking on all comers, Syd is best know for being both the president and one of the most respected MCs of GT's Atlanta division. His matches with Swave Sevah, Johnny Storm, John John Da Don and Soul Khan all provided Syd with the opportunity to flex his lyrical muscles. Vendetta will give him the chance to go to the next level.
A wickedly talented writer with a penchant for furiously paced multi's and internal rhyme schemes, Syd pairs his potent bars with an energetic and aggressive delivery matched by few in the scene. His battle with Bender will be his first in front of KOTD cameras, and his second in the Fresh Coast.

[@TheHipHopSpot]

Rip Bender. Doesn't seem real.

[@zachmermis2511]

i thought it was another hoax.

[@CenturySAM-vb2kt]

How did it happen???

[@agostocobain2729]

TheHipHopSpot how did it happen

[@Methecos]

Ngl, it still doesn't. Ik all his verses, I own one of his paintings, I've talked to him directly. He wasn't a rapper, he was a person.

[@RadiCoolArtist]

"this mans music as transluecent as Stan Kubriks moon landing movie with the flag moving just a fraud recording" - Bender .. one of the worlds best writers in battle rap

[@cianos9578]

Insane

[@randumbguyisaac]

This IS or is one of Benders most legendary performances.. how the fuck does this only have 200K views?

[@saschahat7848]

I have no clue but I've watched 10 times now

[@ScroogeMcDouble]

Jesus Christ, 3rd round, and it took me 3 watches of this battle to catch it. "Or is Syd pretending he ricky henderson, on what basis (bases) do you think he's pulling that hard steel (steal)?" For those who aren't so in tune with the Baseball world, Ricky Henderson has held the MLB all-time base stealing record since forever. And that might just be the sickest bar I've heard in my god damn life.

[@jeffreyrent9532]

Still

[@cammartin1997]

RIP Bender, will always be my favorite performance of his career

[@socialassassin]

Illmac, Syd & Fredo are my 3 favorite battles of Benders. R.I.P. to the LEGEND!!!!!

[@cammartin1997]

Vendetta is such a legendary event looking back.. Canibus vs Diz, Arsonal vs Illmac, Eurgh vs DNA are all over a million views, Bender had a career defining performance, Daylyt vs Rich Dollaz was the first battle with Daylyts new style.. just such a classic event

[@LouieLuciano]

Cameron Martin PREACH 🙌🏽

[@mjunior2nd530]

facts and the crowd was great!

[@TheKnowledgeofGoD]

Philly swain was daylyts new style debut

[@KazzyOfficial]

I still remember when this was one of the most requested battles...and its been 8 years. life is crazy man

[@CinderFelleth]

Hold up. 12:33 "Anything he tries to tell you people, disregard. His shit is sweeter than my great grand mothers christmas cards. This beluga couldnt lift an arm to let the whistle spark. Said the kid is hard? I aint felt shit he spit so far. Think your sharp? get ripped apart with scissor parts and mirror shards, prison bars and lit cigars, 50 shards of pickle jars, a shiv i carved from willow bark, six alarm chili farm pepper spray and scimitars. Fishing barbs, flat serrated Patrick Batemen business cards. Head on santa monica. Limbs behind the quick E mart, just discard him with the garbage down stream on a river barge, or ditch him in Griffith Park with more missing parts than a whip thats parked between a titty bar and a shipping yard!!" ... BUSINESS!

[@carlosdanger7907]

+Lunar Swoon "Shiv I carved from willow bark" "flat serated patrick bateman business cards" "head on santa monica" "just disgard him with the garbage downstream on a river barge" "than a whip that's parked" Otherwise well done.

[@CinderFelleth]

+Carlos Danger "Just discard him with the garbage downstream" lol. Dude i tried so hard to figure out what he was saying and i know i know i fucked up with some lines. i mean come on, "cant obtain a monica" ?? .. wut. hahah good lookin out playa.

[@carlosdanger7907]

Lunar Swoon Haha all good my g

[@jasonlopez5913]

Rest In Peace Bender

[@trfccurt07]

One of the greatest writers we will ever see. RIP man.

[@benprocter8131]

Lush One could have died happy after this battle.

[@jfitness432]

I still get chills watching his 3rd RIP BEN nobody has been able to achieve the level of writing you were on we are all blessed to have footage like this to remind us how lucky we were to have you for as long as we did.

[@myinfinitestate1586]

RIP Mr. Multi. You brought an entire new audience to battle rap! Thanks for the Memories Bender.........

[@m9tttt9m]

RIP Bender. This was some of the hardest shit we ever saw.

[@Keyes101react]

I come back here every so often and scrub through the video just to get to Bender's bars. RIP you legend.

[@cesarlpz91]

Same bro, same

[@jfitness432]

His rounds are stuff of legend

[@JohnnyWordsWrite]

Bender was on God Mode this battle. This performance and the one vs. 24/7 are amazing!

[@lovesickdope123]

Miracle one too

[@Bonanza86]

RIP Bender. You will be sorely missed.

[@ice9planet]

"Finish Syd Vicious this is a tar heroin hit!" Bender!

[@MasamuneStreams]

Slept on bar seeing as how the real Sid died from an overdose

[@Sammy213]

you guys are really bringing the top-notch production and post-production. most of the people watching this probably don't know how much effort it is to make things look like this, so props to whoever is handling your team, good job KOTD.

[@MykBlauuw]

I'd love to see THIS Bender vs. Gjonaj

[@ChrisLaundry]

Bender and Syd both rhyming asphalt and bathsalt within a minute of each other is hilarious

[@TotalKaosEntertainment]

25:17 "I'm looking to set up a moon colony." ~ Bender

[@TommyKnox]

13:48 cracks me up every time...the guy in the crowd "Bender's fucking awesome!" He's just blown away haha

[@HumanN8ture]

I remember watching this thinking “ Bender is just a completely different level of talent!” R.i.p. Bender! That cadence and aggression mixed with humor stuck in my head to this day!

[@BeYouDoubleBeeZee]

R.I.P Bender. One of the GOATS.

[@kylechermak7092]

I wish bender would battle more... He has this stigma where he loses or has a lackluster performance compared to what he's accomplished then he goes super hard. I'm not saying him vs Big T was wack, but it wasn't the bender in this battle. If he battles again i have this feeling he's going to beast it on whoever he's against.

[@samslovin4106]

#botb7

[@kylechermak7092]

Sam Slovin Who's he up against?

[@samslovin4106]

oooooo ull have to wait n see. the whole card is strong, announcments dropping strong

[@kylechermak7092]

Sam Slovin how soon?

[@samslovin4106]

Kyle Chermak the battle itself is on january 23rd

[@optimaprime8970]

This never gets old.

[@Revominded85]

The fact that this only has 200k views is criminal

[@TokenBlack]

When Syd starting forgetting in the 1st round I was like "already..?"

[@ravcreed]

I'd put Bender up against anybody and he could hold his own. His lyricism and wordplay is second to none. His multis are tops in rap battle. Other rappers call him out and imitate his doing that, but the complexity in the rhyme sequences that he uses and the words he incorporates into those multis is ... tops in rap battling.

[@OneWithManyThings]

What kills me the most is from like 12:30 on...during those two giant multi schemes Lush and an audience member are both jumping at the same time, then right after Bender's "...digging through some crates, no Diamond D" Organik is shaking his head, then Bender does as well 😂

[@pinoythinker31]

12:42 camera angles switching with the multis was so dope. if every round was as close as the second and syd didnt stumble thi wouldve been such a classic

[@NZDERO1]

RIP BIG HOMIE. Glad I got to be here when you battled SORRY PLAYER 💔💔💔🙏 Rest in power

[@02goodProductions0]

R.I.P Bender

[@dillybar4812]

It frustrates me that this doesn't have 1K views yet, god damn. Bender deserves it in this performance.

[@AlakahnRah]

Dope battle!

[@mikeramsey4452]

Syd might have hisitated but his comebacks were amazing

[@strictlygrim]

The more I watch bender, the more I appreciate his abilities, that dude gets deep with his.

[@enso1hunned227]

Getting choked up watching this. Who cut the onions..

[@codecrt321]

No problem man, I have already seen it on the pay-per-view and it was a great battle.

[@robbbyyy25]

Bender can definitely bar out Big T, it just depends which Bender shows up..hopefully the one with bars like vs Illmaculate, and of course his multi's identify him so he must do those. For people who think he isnt worthy because of multi's, even Illmaculate called Bender out for that battle, one of the greats, because Illmac knew Bender got bars...so Cant wait for Blackout 3

[@gedbeat15]

RIP Bender

[@kylechermak7995]

THIS is the KOTD crowd that the events NEED. encouraging the rappers when they slip up. There's so much support for these guys and their entertainment. The crowds in LA are so much better than in Toronto. Where was this crowd during Blackout III? WD3 and BO3 were lackluster compared to WD2, BO2, Vendetta, etc. Here's hoping KOTD doesnt fall. I dont want to get stuck watching GT and DF for the foreseeable future ;__;

[@mingbek]

one of the best performances i have ever seen from a battle rapper - especially that 3rd round. you gotta just accept that was pure class. heard arcane digging at it when he spat some multi sylable rhymes but bender does it in a superior way to anyone else

[@benjammin8475]

One of the best crowds are LA crowds.

[@djBTips]

You'll have more missing parts/ than a whip that's parked/ between a titty bar/ and a shipping yard/ Bender one of the best writers ever

[@MIDNIGHTMOONSH1NE]

my favorite battle from the vendetta battles

[@Zeiknox]

Damn, was expecting a lame battle but this was tight. They both killed it.

[@Da1an0nly22]

R.I.P BENDER

[@SundayVenom]

RIP Bender.

[@IronLoveOfficial]

nice catch

[@paTROLLINGxD]

That song was amazing! Do you have any other songs you'd suggest (not necessarily by hopsin)

[@JacqueDeGatineau]

Bender could rap like this and still lose to Big T. All Big T has to do is say CHALAKABOOO and everyone will go crazy and say bodybag 3-0 Big T.

[@rhymeswithorange7209]

lmao I actually read that in Big T's voice

[@Xaw010]

this made me laugh so hard ahahaha

[@steved8486]

Bender seemed way more confident in his material

[@siwooot]

"Soul/Seoul had you shook like a north korean air raid"

[@emergenchris]

Love this battle

[@SwantonSexBomb]

If Bender can reproduce a performance like this, he might survive Big T.

[@dallasbagley]

Survive? Bender is perfectly capable of murdering T.

[@DrugStarz]

udeadwrong

[@dallasbagley]

No I'm not, I got an ear, and could probably write a bar better than you could. Bender's lyrically one of the best, period. Big T raps in the URL, but that doesn't make him better, just more popular.

[@noproblem451]

Dallas Bagley lol, bigt's best battle was in small room with 50+ people , was he's best battle. BIG T WILL DESTOY HIM. THE PG BATTLE RAPPER WILL GET HIM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[@FrostyDAsnoPLUG]

ieoheoirh cehøiojero he did infact murder big T

[@Fallenskate069]

Damn this needs more views.

[@Tyrel1985]

My god avacdo is a genius. The quality of these vids are off the chain.

[@fkyaLYFE]

Everytime I click on this guys battles I seriously expect to see the futurama robot going in on somebody.

[@optimaprime8970]

Bender you're one of the few im looking forward to meeting up there. Thank you

[@marcoclaytonjadesmith9405]

Insane writing from both these guys!!

[@MrRaptors101]

i came back to hear benders verses,so , thank you

[@deansgnr]

we're supposed to be getting that soon.

[@LouieLuciano]

"Broke that piece off quicker, then a treaty on the Gaza Strip!!" Smh hard. Bender is nice man

[@deansgnr]

spot on man

[@TotalKaosEntertainment]

It trips me out that Bender was disappointed in his 3rd round bc he said shards twice in that scheme. RIP

[@tuila]

Bender back on beast-mode here, but Syd was better than I've ever seen him before (minus the chokes). Classic shit right here.

[@DunbarTheGreat]

Based off quality and editing alone.. this is the best event KOTD has thrown..

[@coolsoccer1234]

I want to see Pat Stay vs Bender. That would be a sick battle.

[@animosityDK]

yes. I would pay to see this, no question.

[@hydrographix]

It's 2021 and that first verse from Bender is incredible. wth

[@cs2884]

True. All his rounds slap hard

[@Sam1878Henry]

Can't believe this only has 90k views i've watched it 10 times at least

[@7dream7scape7]

you had my favourite performance there.

[@Jecoby]

both rappers killed it

[@randomimpulser]

First of all huge respects to you for all your battles and your music, especially loved that tom waits small change work. Anyway i'm just trying to work out exactly what you're saying in this battle. smoke a half **** of them bath salts? "feeling ***** but i cant hand you that pink slip to you cuz" keynes something maybe and the bar just before more missing parts than a whip thats parked between a titty bar and a shipping yard. hope you come back to dont flop sometime soon.

[@MrTrevorg18]

I like how both Bender, and Syd not only thought of a bathsalts line, but both mentioned ashvalt & bathsalts lol.

[@standarsh8606]

wow that was amazing, one of the best match ups, too bad syd stumbled, i give the second round to him tho, they definitely need to battle again, i wanna see either Bender vs thesaurus or Bender vs Dizaster

[@Angielyrica]

this was a great match up.... thats why they clashed on bath salts and asphalts. Both have dope rhyme structure that draws you in and makes you react to the punchlines.

[@PHreshcobar333]

Benders styles definitely original as it gets 1 of the best technical lyricist out when he applys himself and is comfortable the way he constructs his bars if hitting is unstoppable

[@codecrt321]

Dynasty, Dying League, Dire need, Dried Up Scene, Dial Up Speed and Diamond D. Wow, having 6 words with the same first letter than all rhyme is so impressive.

[@daxflow]

RIP Bender, great battle had to bring it back

[@Rekyndul]

organik looks mad proud of bender.. i think rightfully so in this battle, he deserves mad respect for stepping up to the plate on the venue with all the other international mcs... bender had by far the best performance of Vendetta

[@jeffreyrent9532]

Legends never die

[@iamhexoronii]

"Bender, the only Canadian at a kotd event, ain't that some shit" lmao

[@duckymv]

Had to see that and Google to see how that was relevent. Jesus Christ Bender's good. Thanks man.

[@twiztidlestat]

HA. Just saw the Troll in your name. Well played sir :)

[@FREELIVING190]

this is a fucking unreal battle probly my favourite battle of 2012 so far

[@TheOnlyPersona]

Quick links to Bender schemes: 5:19 : Sorry Player 8:47 : Fraud Recording 8:54 : Hopsin CD on Repeat 9:07 : Pair of Speedos 12:32 : Best scheme of the battle 13:19 : Grindtime Dissection

[@Ih8thePolice]

Congratulations to Bender for winning performance of the year in this battle, so much replay value thanks to him...

[@juicemAster2000]

Yes please!

[@ganstadogg69]

we need a Bender vs Arcane rematch.. because that battle was fucking classic..

[@LLandQC]

i watched it live too and he never paused...and belive me i've watched it over and over on ustream

[@jakeboxing]

This is my favourite battle from vendetta

[@FrostyDAsnoPLUG]

i think, we need to see a bender vs dizaster battle. that would be fuckin bananas

[@dacha1992]

thats the next title match!

[@AngrySanta1]

are there weight classes in kotd?

[@MIPDANCE]

14:32 "OOOPSIE" LMAO

[@dustinmosley5965]

RIP Bender. Arguably his best writing in this battle, without the little slip up on that crazy scheme it would have been unbeatable by basically anything anyone's done in battle rap period.

[@themiggs831]

Crazy battle! Even Syd slipped up he still did his thing and his punches were strong. Bender was just non stop gassin' it was just crazy.
