Rivers is a battle rapper from London and one of the best in the world at it. He was previously the champion at Premier Battles and is one of the most popular among the fans especially over the past few years. In this conversation we barely talk about anything to do with battle rap, but out of his most recent battles I recommend checking out Rivers vs Frost (Don't Flop), vs Gemin1 (Premier Battles) & his international battle vs Holmzie Da God (Premier Battles) which is probably my favourite performance of his.

Blve Coca (aka. Blve Cocaine) is a rising star in the battle rap scene and an all around gifted creative. While she gained notoriety battling on platforms like Rare Breed Entertainment (RBE) and The Riot, since this episode was recorded she's also taken part in Hitman Holla's Bag$ And Bodie$ on Coastal Reign TV (CR-TV) and had a dope performance vs Rocq Lee that I very much recommend you check out as well.
