He hold s the record in the 757 area in bringing out the most supporters and always brings a entertaining show. Young X has an unorthodox style and keeps brand strong by staying on top of delivering quality material on record and in the battle rap arena.
The current topic of discussion in February 2018 is will he defeat his highly favored rising competitor known as “Gold.” Throughout the year of 2017 fans of the battle rap culture in the Hampton roads area have looked to see if Gold would go the distance in regards to the battle scene. Although Gold was apart of the first initial groups of battle rappers spawned through the headhunters battle circuit, his stock has always had a question mark beside it until now.
We have seen this Norfolk city native level up in the recent months leaving the battle rap leagues no choice but to put his craft to the test against A1 competitors. His last three opponents including Rice, Dece, and Pg Skillet were all respected rappers in the culture who are known to do damage to their opponents and Gold held his own.
In a recent interview with Gold we talked to him about how and why has there been such a drastic change in the quality of his match ups, material and stage performance.
“I was taking a battle every month . Im having more preparation time now” -GOLD
