Since the dawn of the new era of battling, few rappers have shown as much passion and work-ethic as DNA. Getting his start with Grind Time as one of the youngest battlers in the league, he quickly proved that age was not a factor as he moved up in the ranks. After facing opponents such as Rone, Loe Pesci and P-Nut, DNA moved onto the Ultimate Rap League and debuted against Oun P. Since then, DNA has faced top-tier opponents such as T-Rex, Tsu-Surf, Young Ill, X-Factor, Big T, Tech 9, as well as the highly publicized match against Dizaster at KOTD: Flatline. With his sharp wordplay, rapidfire delivery, and uncanny freestyle ability, DNA has shown that he is able to win over any crowd, even when the odds are seemingly against him. Eurgh will be DNA's first overseas opponent, and his second battle for KOTD.
Ever since he entered the JumpOff WRC Qualifiers in 2007 at the age of 17, Eurgh has been a force to be reckoned with. At the time, known simply as Arkaic's partner, Eurgh made his mark with his lyrical wit, and also for his infamous angry speech after discovering that he and his partner would not be going to the finals. Since then, however, Eurgh has become a forerunner in the British battle scene, starting Don't Flop in 2008 with fellow rapper Cruger, a league that has earned British battlers local and international recognition. On top of his contributions as a battle league owner, Eurgh has remained an active battler, having faced top-tier international opponents such as Illmaculate, Kid Twist, PH and Thesaurus. Eurgh is best known for his precise rebuttals and creative wordplay, as well as direct and incisive angles. His battle vs DNA will be his 3rd for KOTD, and his 2nd on the Fresh Coast.
This is considered by many to be the battle of the event.

I fucking love when DNA is listening he looks like a little kid, but once he is up he just transforms.

[@Bang-yt6ws]

+IshyVideos he kills me with that look, looks like he about to cry #classic

I always loved how DNA looks all bored and depressed while the other rappers are going on XD

[@OrangeNinjaTurtle123]

And when it's his turn he completely bodies his opponents

[@Vrijpostig010]

lmao ye its the "holding a fart look".. Dna mad fire tho..

[@TinaTate00]

Lol! He always look like he's gonna cry, I guess that's his game face.

[@papamidnite1305]

Black Demon That's the bar in your opinion? That shit was average at best..

[@thevengeful2426]

Papa Midnite Agreed but it meant a lot and had a good setup

[@FeedMyPets]

+Papa Midnite to be honest...and by no means am i a "hater" of either of them (just wanted to establish that first) i gotta agree...people went ape over a so-so bar. was good, just yeah. not worth that much crowd support or large reaction. lol

[@vsha2]

I thought it was pretty good. It certainly wasn't just a random jamming of two words - it has deeper meaning. DNA is one of the 'proofs' of atheism. I.e. proof of evolution , hence disproof of the creationist basis of abrahamic religions. Or maybe I'm giving Eurgh too much credit.

[@racheljones3706]

@@vsha2 It was purely the delivery that made it bang. Very simple set up and simple punch but it's still one of faves to listen to.

[@ZoomZip]

Eurgh is fucking legit. I never seen him rap before.

[@raskal8578]

yeah, if I was more cultured to the UK crowd, would have been easier listening and he maybe be more liberal with his schemes. But they get off cross waters and sometime i'm like 'huh'?

[@kylechermak7092]

Perfect example of smart intelligent lines vs Gimmicky, irrelevant ones. Eurgh killed him.

[@bentaylor10]

il100374 the vegetable scheme was off the top

[@MrMahazestar]

Smart Intelligent lines - but they weren't bars! DNA had metaphors and hard hitting. Eurghh had no rhyme schemes just hard hitting stuff.

[@fatabbot6]

ben taylor No chance in hell was that off the top. fuck out of here.

[@Arocnation]

Lol eurgh wasn't consistent. It's shame you think he actually won, I can name 9 bars that went in for DNA. How many did eurgh have that were tough like fucking 2. Foh learn hip hop and freestyle and delivery instead of yelling at the top the lungs and composure especially to go along with that. DNA 2-1 get your distaste in battling the fuck outta here haha

[@kaleogriffin8673]

DNA never let me down. I notice that the u. K. Boys only rhyme words. And are talking about making songs. That is not the purpose of battle rap. It's schemes, punch lines. Metaphors similes. You can't just rhyme word for word that only a fraction of the art.

[@donaldson1990]

Lol clearly you ain't heard shotty

[@jaydoe4679]

Ross McGouldrick It's Battle Rap, not a Freestyle. So your point is also irrelevant. They both killed it, so why do you feel that you have to be a hater?

[@StolenGoodsAU]

Fuckkk, this battle was extremely close. DNA had some of the craziest schemes I've ever heard in battle rap, the whole bike/handlebars/hub-capped scheme was unreal, the first scheme with Eurgh's name being used as a syllable at the end of each rhyme, that shit hit so hard, the way he delivered that was fuckin perfect, The "spell vendetta with DNA", was nuts too. There's others I can't be fucked using here as well but you guys know em'. Only thing I thought was kind of corny was the "pack of faggots" line, just not really a bar that stood out too me. Eurgh had some crazy ass schemes as well, but I feel like Eurgh came more direct and to the point. Some-times when you go far to deep into the intellectual realm of writing and structuring bars it takes away some of the value of the punch because you're spending so much time making it connect correctly that you steer away from the delivery and the actual shock of exposing or mocking your opponent, that shit really does exist man and I feel like some of DNA's crazy schemes lacked that. Eurgh's first opening bar was pretty nuts "DNA tests" one, his rebuttals were on point as fuck, the "Eric's Koston" bar was pretty fresh and different, exposing DNA for biting who he collabs with was innovative as well, damn such a hard one. But I'd have to either go with a DRAW or 2 - 1 DNA, such a great battle but.

[@donvittorio4737]

This is one of the sickest battles I've seen.

[@jaimea.gonzalezjr5916]

Great, great battle. I wish I was there. Great match, with a flurry of hooks and punch lines. I really respect both battle rappers.

As much as I love DNA.....but GOTDAMN! EURGH BODIED THAT 2ND ROUND!!!

Oh yeah Tina Gardner​ Eurgh was hot but DNA was hotter lol

Beamacaleone I Love DNA he brings it, and that was very clever! Just gotta give out props where it's due tho, Eurgh did his thang!

[@jacksonjDell]

Beamacaleone weak filler until a punchline...you mean like dna lmao

[@hughlowther]

After not seeing this in ages, Eurgh has some insane lines that were slept on since they were so rapid fire. Round 1: 'Like a warped view Diz taught (distort) you a lesson and Diz posed (disposed) of you!' jeez

[@iamaltitude]

Such a classic battle. Am I the only one that misses when 🔥 battles used to be 15 minutes?

[@true4040]

' You wanna be black Eurgh but I'm blacker than you ' That all line was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Got me chills ! Damn

[@soup8786]

Eurgh/er worldplay is so shite its painful

[@ProxlKing]

bars, bars, bars, fking... DOPE! I'm biased for DNA, but shout out to Eurgh for a good battle. Dam this was epic, and underrated. Queens in the house.

[@saint3211]

The majority of here Americans can't even understand Eurgh ¬_¬ Clearly an unfair judgment on youtube....

[@jraymond1988]

I feel like Eurgh is one of the only people from Don't Flop that Americans can understand. Him and maybe Cruger.

[@eljaynelson6136]

I can understand him word for word. He's good, but definitely not on DNA's level. Eurgh definitely came in, but i give it DNA 2-1. I see a lot of people saying we are benefitting DNA because he is american... no.. You all are benefitting Eurgh because he is one of the only ones to come out of Don't Flop that can hang with elites like DNA, Dizaster, And Pat. Shotty Horroh obviously being the best.

[@bentaylor10]

Eljay Nelson actually there are quite a few others apart from eurgh that are on dna/dizasters level, you just can't understand them properly plus alot of british rap are about british topics that would go straight over the heads of americans so you can't judge them.

[@eljaynelson6136]

But i can understand them. Shotty Horroh is the only one up there.

[@bentaylor10]

Eljay Nelson british rappers use schemes you have no clue about so how could you judge them properly? people like shotty write bars that are universal so americans are gunna get the punches thats why you think hes better than the rest.

[@jesusgarcia3874]

2020 just watched it again one of the best battles I seen in years lol

Me too in 2021 bro 😎

[@iammarkc707]

It's crazy to come back and watching this battle after so long they both went hard eurgh had a few lines and a I liked alot of his rebuttals dna just went off and had this energy about him and it made everything we was saying extra fire hard to judge it now but I think dna still took it classic battle! To much fire! Much love and respect salute

[@MusiColeMF]

No one would Sweat Eurgh (sweater), so why would they inVEST in putting you on the cart again (cardigan)....that line single-handedly shows that DNA's sick. However, Eurgh had some amazing lines.. "I'm known for what's coming out of my mouth, not what's missing inside." This is a tie in my eyes

[@MusiColeMF]

It's nice when people can have some constructive criticism other than "Ohh he's not from my country, his accent is different to mine, he's shit" You people are ruining what were once awesome and engaging comment sections. Very close battle though, I would honestly say a draw but if i had to pick, Eurgh's DNAthiest line stood out for me, (I'm not from the US or UK btw)

[@delivrex]

lol he was aiming to be a *vet

[@Vrijpostig010]

obviously it wasn't that particular line that had the crowd go crazy.. It was the total "Vendetta" scheme and that was just the punch ending the scheme.. It start with the referral to the canibus and diz battle, then he integrates all the rappers on the vendetta card in his bars.. and then he fall back to the canibus and diz battle with the pen and pad (canibus notepad) reference.. and at last integrates his self in what i personally thought was quite a clever way as you indeed cannot spell vendetta without a DNA.. I think Dna is honestly one of the most hated on duded but his metaphors be cold ass shit..! Give credit when credit is due and the fact that he managed to remain relevant since grindtime is a admirable accomplishment.. Don't want to take away anything from eurgh, it was not a bodybag but i do give dna the 3-0..
