In a lyrical slugfest that has since been cemented as an underrated classic, two of battle rap's most prolific pens, Danny Myers and JC, went to war on Go-Rilla Warfare. The bout was a quintessential clash of styles: the 'Bar God' Danny Myers brought his trademark aggressive energy and a relentless barrage of punchlines, while JC countered with a calm, methodical delivery and some of the most intricate and layered writing of his career. From the opening round, it was clear that both emcees came prepared for a three-round war.
