With battles hand selected by the Hip-Hop icon, Drake's Til Death Do Us Part will tap the most elite emcees from multiple generations of battle rap to go head-to-head. In the promotional video
Drake explains why he put the card together:
The event is touted as the biggest card in battle rap history features the following matchups:

Tay Roc vs. Nu Jerzey Twork
Tsu Surf vs. Calicoe
T-Rex vs. Rum Nitty
Jaz the Rapper vs. Gattas
Pat Stay vs. Real Sikh
Troy "Smack White" Mitchell, CEO and co-creator of URL, co-signed the card picks saying, "Drake isn't just a casual battle rap fan and has been a supporter behind the URL movement for years. Over the last 20 months, he's helped our brand grow by facilitating our partnership with Caffeine, which allows us to stream our premium content for free to our fanbase."
"Drake's Til Death Do Us Part is not just a birthday celebration for our friend," Smack shares. "It is a shifting of the culture and is going to be the biggest event ever witnessed in battle rap history, bigger even than Summer
Madness 2."
