The mutual respect between the two veterans was palpable from the coin toss, setting the stage for a high-level lyrical dogfight.

Round one was an absolute masterclass from Bill Collector. Employing an incredibly long, theatrical intro that blurred the lines between investigative journalism and battle rap, Bill launched into orbit. He landed catastrophic haymakers, including the infamous 'M*A*S*H' and 'weapon drawn' bars.
