This Sunday @ 7:00 PM CST

BattleWarz.com's third simulive event is the one battle rap fans have been talking about for years. This Sunday, March 1st at 7:00 PM CST, we're streaming Iron Solomon vs Rum Nitty — a matchup the culture still debates to this day.

The Battle That Set the Tone

Some battles don't just entertain — they define an era. Iron Solomon vs Rum Nitty, originally staged at SMACK Vol. 1, is one of those battles. Reddit threads still pop up years later calling it one of the greatest battles ever committed to film. When fans think about perfect pen game, this battle comes up. Every time.

If you've never seen it — you're in for something special. If you have — you already know why we chose this one.

Iron Solomon: The New York Wordsmith

Iron Solomon (real name Aaron Solomon Merkin) is a Brooklyn-born battle rap legend who came up through the most competitive eras the culture has ever seen. He cut his teeth in the freestyle circuit — winning the Scribble Jam East qualifier, placing at Scribble Jam 2005 — before transitioning to the written era with the same pen-heavy precision that made him dangerous from day one.

His breakout moment came battling Jin on Fight Club, but it's his URL run — battles against Murda Mook, Charlie Clips, Daylyt, Dizaster, and others — that cemented his status as one of the most technically gifted lyricists to ever step on a battle rap stage. With over 18 million catalogued views across 41 battles, Iron Solomon's résumé speaks for itself.

Rum Nitty: The Most Feared Man in Battle Rap

Rum Nitty (real name Cornell Powell) out of Phoenix, Arizona is exactly the kind of opponent that keeps veterans up at night. With nearly 39 million views across 67 battles, Nitty has built his reputation as arguably the most consistent performer in the game — someone who shows up prepared, dangerous, and loaded with back-to-back haymakers every single time.

The battle rap community has spent years debating whether Nitty is the best pure battler alive. Fans and peers alike have called him "the most feared" — because ducking Rum Nitty is a real conversation that happens in the culture. He doesn't just win — he embarrasses. He doesn't just punch — he buries.

What Happens When They Meet

Iron Solomon vs Rum Nitty is New York wordplay vs Phoenix ferocity. Solomon brought some of the sharpest writing of his career into this battle. Nitty responded with the kind of punches that had the crowd reacting in real time — legends in the building going crazy round after round.

Fans who've seen it call it a battle that "makes you remember why you love battle rap." Three rounds. Perfect penmanship on both sides. The kind of matchup that gets referenced every time someone brings up the greatest battles ever filmed.
