Skinny Doom, Battle Rapper, Toronto #NewBattle

By: Lyndsay Brown

Toronto/GTA has seen an increasingly growing rebirth, or focus on Battle Rap.  One up ‘n coming, and ambitious Battle Rapper is Skinny Doom associated with the Rap Battle league BeastMode. Skinny doom is a Rapper working on a mixtape, and Battle Rapper who wants to continue climbing the latter in the Battle Rap world. Skinny Doom has been doing Rap Battles for about four years, and has at least 32 battles under his belt. He is always looking for a new challenge in Battle Rap. The more battles Skinny Doom does the better he gets!  You can see his progress on VerseTracker (a network for Battle Rappers) by searching “Skinny Doom”.

Most recently he battled Wendigo, at the BeastMode D THA SUSPECT Event; you can view the “BeastMode- Wendigo  vs Skinny Doom- Rap Battle”, at BeastMode Battles on YouTube, or you can watch it below. Skinny Doom has good bars, although he does stumble a bit in his delivery. I think his best round was the third, when he says: “They say Algonquins are scare of Wendigos/ Man fuck a Wendigo, I have pushole written on your grave etched in stone/ When they see what Skinny holds/ Let it known, one heavy throw he'll end up where ever the wind'll go/ I'm on my E40 mix, turnt up, "I dunno when to go"/ Call me an elf, for that snow white you get your ass kicked by 7 Dwarfs/ we shoulda battled at a drive-thru, I'm taking this win to go!”; This happens after Wendigo opens his bag, and throws skinny jeans on the floor!! The battle wasn’t officially judged, so leave your comments on who you thought won the battle, or what was the best punch line?
