(AllHipHop Features) It could be argued that Harlem, New York is the epicenter of the current battle rap scene. The locale has birthed numerous top-tier performers in the culture including 112th St and St. Nicholas Ave’s T-Rex.

With over 20 on-camera match-ups throughout his career, Rex’s stat sheet features bouts against some of the best battlers in the world. This past summer the 29-year-old emcee/songwriter earned a title no other battle rapper can claim at the moment when he took out Cortez, Marv One, Big T, and Daylyt to win the first Total Slaughter tournament championship.

In the 6th edition of AllHipHop.com’s “Profiles In Battle Rap,” T-Rex shares which battle rap stars he wants to jump into the ring with next. He also reveals the one mainstream rapper he’d like to face, his favorite battles, top 5 DOA, and more.
