5 Artists That Need To Compete On Smack Url
MC Battle Culture may not seem as active as it used to be but, it's still alive and well. Smack URL (Ultimate Rap League) is a YouTube series that which artists compete against each other. Think of spoken but instead, you have an opponent that you're meant to violate. Tough skin, hard-hitting one-liners, boasting, and wordplay are needed to succeed in these battles. Cash prizes and exposure is what the winner ends up with and of course, bragging rights. Here are 5 artists that are either experienced in battle rap or would be the perfect candidate.
1. Mila Mansa
As you can see in the picture above, she has already been crowned as the Elite Cypher Champion. Mila Mansa loves the real culture of Hip-Hop and you can surely tell. Her bars will smack you in the face and pierce your nerves. Mila's lyrics are cutting edge and full of double entendres. In Mila's single Repetition, she showcases her wordplay and attitude perfectly. A writer, a poet, a real Hip-Hop emcee.

His cup runneth over and his energy exudes out of it. Chance Fischer possesses a slick tongue along with a contagious quick-witted attitude. Here we have another skilled rapper who has actually battled former URL rappers in the past. So when it comes to battling, Chance will never be intimated or discouraged by his opponents. In his newest single, Don + Corleone featuring Noah O., Chance showcases his clever usage of metaphors and similies. He endures the beat easily which is needed while battling (on no beat).

3. ALFRED
Personality is a force that you can feel even if you just got introduced to them. Alfred has the confidence of an 80's model in their prime and you can feel it within every line rapped. The flows, deliveries, and inflections prove that Alfred would be perfect for battle rap. Quirky lines filled with banter throughout their lyrics will definitely keep you entertained. On Alfred's track PRNDL, their flow literally switches up along with the beat which keeps you wanting to hear more. Alfred's lyrics are relatable, honest, and descriptive.

She has been in over a dozen rap battles including a URL appearance and continues to dominate them. 40 B.A.R.R.S. brings her feminine, confident energy and then surprises you with the fire she spits gracefully. She is known for digging up dirt on opponents and disrespecting them with no remorse. 40's SoundCloud is filled with straight freestyles and her pen is lethal.
