[@CraftDRap]

Congratulations to the new champ Quill. Hope he has a great title reign and takes the scene to the next level. It's been an honour to be champ in the company of legends - Osh, Tony, Soul, Shox and now Quill. I never normally comment on my own battles. Just wanna say thanks to everyone who supported me, especially through all the doubt and hate, and big up Don't Flop for giving me the opportunity. Whether you like my style or not, I've always tried my hardest no matter what - this time it just wasn't enough. Keep supporting UK Battle Rap, and I hope you all have a good start to 2023. 🙌

Gwarn Soloman.

[@lennard]

Personally i thought you took it, but it was a close battle though. I hope you're not done just yet

[@jella488]

that retract the clause line was fire

[@ryanlewis151]

Corny

[@HenaLarkin]

Great battle from both, loved the additional media at the end as well DFAFD

[@philbackwash]

Great battle 1 of best UK clashes this year

[@donshlugga5900]

Wow, shocked at that decision. Quill had took the L before he poured a bottle of water on himself. All crafts rounds were great, two solid flips as well that shoulda got more reaction than they did in the venue Definitely a clique in battle rap and it felt like quill and was gonna be champ regardless here. Unanimous decision is baffling

[@mb693]

Craft-D is not a man you want as face of the company, he's boring and looks like a nonce

[@Gemin1_LDN]

Salute to both of these man. So hard to call tbh. Craft d was an amazing champ and lets give him his flowers! And big up quill on his new title 🖤 merry Christmas ya filthy animals

[@clipmanclipman855]

Why man's gotta spoil the end for me

[@MrADub]

mans wearing evisu fucking hell.

[@robinziphood]

great battle

[@razren-ro8jx]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 close one both fire

[@poloutz]

Quill as new champion is a great look for Don't Flop. DFAFD bring it back to the old days

[@McBawse]

Genuinely thought Craft won again, but not surprised the decision went to Quill...

[@PremierBattles]

Quill's Performance is mad! Well Deserved Champ. Shouts to Craft D too, Professional as ever - could have gone eitherway

[@mikeyplondon]

Quite hard to call, as I'm a fan of both of these guys. I reckon Quill probably edged it overall. Nice to see Craft getting on the local media at the end, promoting the scene.

[@Quicksilver9517]

2-1 Quill. 1st round and 3rd round. Quill swayed all momentum from Craft D-s' second at the beginning of his 3rd round. Craft-D catered very well to the crowd, his jokes went down really well. Quill's performance in the 3rd was unbeatable. We need that Quill vs Gemini battle.

[@lylecann9265]

A true Chrimbo treat! 🎁🎄🎅🎤

[@castawayadventuresuk]

Don't flop with those Christmas goods! Craft ds 3rd sounded like I was listening to shuffle t the way he flows and quills face says it all..great battle but craft d just didn't seem to have the same fire quill had quill wanted this Way more. However I like how humble craft d has been as a champion very likeable guy and looking forward to see what he does next in the league. Class battle worth the wait!

[@jackturner8178]

Good to see Haaland coming to these events, front row as well 👏

[@dannysoul1396]

quill killed it great battled would be great to get Gem back on the league

[@davidharman7901]

Craft got the first 2, Quill with the third. Good battle

[@andrewilliams4241]

2023 and don't flop is still gate keeping with dodgy judging lol

[@annonimouse9620]

fax

[@lsgrime3443]

Craft took round 1&2 for me

[@nickpov3y]

I thought Craft D walked this personally

[@MYVRecords]

Agreed

[@c.chinaski3156]

...said no one ever

[@davidsmith5917]

Should've been Shuffle T vs Quill...

[@charliezoot]

Quill is a ukbr legend and deserves to be a champ but ngl I think craft took this. Happy for Quill though. Hope we ain't seen the last of Craft D

[@GoldNeverages]

Great battle, kinda performances that are reviving don’t flop, congrats Quill but Craft D was a credible champion big respect!

[@Just1In1Time]

Respect to Quill mans came a long way and finally got the title I personally think Craft won this but Quill did great and like I said deserves this so I'm not mad I definitely wanna see him vs Gem

[@AppCandy]

3-0 to the stage fucking mad loud footsteps all through the round

[@charlie5685]

Personally thought Craft D took the first two, and quill took the third easily

[@connorsando5071]

I honestly can't tell if Quill is an incredible showman, or if he just kind of does stuff

[@andrewdickens7016]

For me quill took it (round 1 & 3) he is just more versatile, his rounds pop off more. Crafty can hit but it just doesn’t seem as nice

[@limyeong689]

comgrats bro

[@DannyWonder]

Great battle #dfafd

[@johnsmith-xd9ul]

big fan of Quill for years but genuinely thought Craft-d took this. 2-0. surprised they gave it to Quill

[@corvette_jake7225]

Are marlo and shuffle-T still around?

[@kaneoneill1858]

yeah floating around shuffle is battling shotty soon on premier battles

[@Dani-El.]

Yes, Shuffle-T beat Craft-D last year.

[@mxlxok3483]

i bumped into craft-d in town and he was blazed as hell and he was very excited about scooters. seemed like a lovely dude

[@MrWhitmojsherpa]

He’s never smoked so much as a cigarette in his life.

[@SkengStiegenhaus]

LMAOOOOOOO

[@mxlxok3483]

@@MrWhitmojsherpa coulda been edibles idk

[@BrandonEmery_]

Walk in the park for Craft. Easily 3-0

[@TwoFingazInCider]

Quill is a better performer and a better rapper but Craft D is a better writer and had harder punches so it's a close one Fire from both though 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@theoverthinkingalien224]

Pretty much nailed it there, mate. Quill is slightly below Craft-D as a writer (who's pen is underrated to be fair), but has bags more personality than Craft. Craft-D, unfortunately, just doesn't have any star power. Shuffle was right when he said Craft is not memorable, which is a shame as during his matches he's great but very little sticks with you.

[@w00df0rd]

I mean you said 'PREPARATE'... it's not a word.

[@mrizla3605]

craft 1 & 2, round 3 unsure

[@griffyz3705]

Quill is such a star. Loved Craft in this as well. Supreme battle!

[@MrLoo123456]

Gem vs quill let’s goooo !!

[@KRSEVEN]

Shocking decision. Quill was 2-0 down going into the 3rd EASY. Been watching battle rap for nearly 15 years, this is a clear robbery.

[@BrandonEmery_]

Seems like the decision for Quill be champ was already decided. After seeing Quill’s battle with Vizual, which I thought he lost, is creating a setup for Quill vs Shotty Horror in the future. Imagine how big the whole Don’t Flop vs Premier Battles card will be for both companies. These theatrics he’s doing is just a cover up for subpar bars and unfortunately it worked against Craft and Vizual even though they both bodied him

[@theoverthinkingalien224]

​@@BrandonEmery_ To be fair, Quill's pen is top tier in UKBR in my opinion. Craft-D is a better writer but has nowhere near the charisma Quill does, which is why I think DF would prefer him as champ. I do agree with you: Craft-D won this, but Quill is a better face for the league and I think you're right when you say that Quill as DF champ versus Shotty- PB's (and the UK's) biggest draw- is something they're probably working towards.

[@kieronkelleher709]

Craft D absolutely smashed this, very surprised to see Quill take it. Best of luck to quill for his reign though.

[@muneebjamal2605]

Big up Quill

[@Laddddddo]

Bring back webham

[@matheusmacedo9751]

Quills performing is next level, crafts punches sometimes feel like they hit harder but also feel like they leave something to be desired when hes up against quills performing, quills personality seems like he could find a way to fit in in any room

[@MYVRecords]

Its crazy. I thought Shuffle beat Craft D but Craft took the decision, and I thought Craft D beat Quill and coked up Quill took the decision

[@TheInsideVideo]

Gemini has Jermaine Jenas vibes.

[@Gemin1_LDN]

Gemaine Jenas

[@jamsandwij]

Craft 2-1

[@interesting2491]

20:41 Lolllllll

[@mlb4566]

Quill is on a WHOLE different level , he is now PERFORMING a show wow he has tremendous self belief now

[@andrewdickens7016]

Craft should lose this battle by default for using default character from game line

[@tisbymojo]

I've been pretty critical (read: c*nty online) of Craft-D previously, he's a bit of a cardigan for me, but this was amazing. Ironic it would be the title match. I think Quill had more passion, and I fuck with him more, but this was an amazing performance from both.

[@filipe009]

Craft-D 3-0.

[@TRlXTA]

Craft & Bizzo, both got nice pens but dead performances.

[@Stanxa666]

Fire battle, personally I had Craft 2-0 up going to the 3rd. His laser focused approach had concise, direct punches vs Quill’s entertaining scatter gun approach that definitely won the room. Lyricism wise I think this is a clear Craft W, but shout out to both - clean performances and I don’t think either stumbles were significant enough to impact the battle. Big up both champs

[@13twelve]

I wonder if this is one of those live vs watching the videos things - because I'd give this to Craft-D. The impact of Quill's first doesn't hit hard on the video where as Craft-D's lyrics do..

[@samatkinson9064]

Fixed

[@jakewilsoncrown]

Craft literally uses the same flow he mocks shuffle t for using in the contender match, don’t understand how he’s made it so far

[@rp627]

this was tough to call. I really like quill's wild style, even more than dizaster(!), but craft-d's chill demeanor made it often look like an easy win vs someone trying too hard.. people say "quill deserves it". i disagree. the winner of the battle deserves to win. whoever that may be. shouldnt let other battles determine this battle... Quill couldve used the loss as a lesson of pacing before battling Gem... but i'd say he def had more potential. I prefer Quill's first, but the UK crowd of golf clapping doesn't help.

[@mikehull719]

Craft d for me

[@paulgibson7162]

2-1 to Craft until Quill poured that water........ 3-0 Craft

[@annonimouse9620]

Need better judges. Bowski and Matter are vets but the others aren't levels

[@nerdoutbreak1]

Quill’s accent is so strong I have no idea what he’s saying 90% of the time. I gave all three rounds to Craft-D from an American point of view

[@asadrazzle1859]

Craft D definitely got robbed lol 3-0 or 2-1 to him, Quill isn't as good as he thinks he is.. there is no way he beats Gemini lol

[@ellakay123]

Someone show Quill where the camera is… 🙄

[@Dani-El.]

Someone show him where the kettle is.

[@williamgl2627]

2-1 to Quill.

[@bluebob81]

Good battle and right result but let's face it both of these are mid tier UK compared to peak Don't Flop.

[@SkengStiegenhaus]

I know craft-d is an intelligent guy, so how he's able to say so many "bad bars" with a straight face is so beyond me. 2-1 Quill

[@theoverthinkingalien224]

Good performance can make bad bars succeed. People tend to forget that the exact opposite can happen with bad performance.

[@hughesyplays]

2 - 1 Quill. 1st n 3rd

[@InceyInceUploads]

2-1 quill and its craft ds fault

[@jackyallop5313]

Quill came prepared but i do think Craft took it personally.

[@iBiz3rk]

Craft talks too much like lunar c, kinda annoying

[@jtjfx]

Craft got robbed

[@Ballerism]

Quill is so corny, I'm not a believer.

[@AemsMC]

Easily Craft-D 3-0

[@cbyrne2466]

Robbery

[@MarroniMusic]

Craft-D still on his 'woke' shit like it's 2016
