Well, it happened and it was an amazing event that got people talking all day before the event and for hours after the event had ended.
It was so amazing that what was supposed to be a 10 for 10 hits morphed into both artists playing 15 of their biggest hits. They both used the opportunity to educate fans on the backstories behind each song.
The event was well documented to preserve the gorgeous display of music history on display during the battle.

I'm a Fan of Jude and Naeto C
Incredible body of work from the both of them.
This battle isn't to point out who is better, its an opportunity to enjoy the classics and be thankful for these legends.

Naeto C is a fucking paradigm shifter, influenced the game and hiphop dictionary more than anyone else, "Kini Big Deal" is (arguably) the biggest Hiphop song outta Naija…you millennials out here talking shit no know anything!
