After winning the 2 vs. 2 Grand Prix and a brief hiatus, Toronto emcee Diaz is back in the ring for King of the Dot. Well known in Canadian circles, Diaz is one of few rappers who maintain both a successful music career and a battling reputation. His 2009 debut album, Rhyme for Reason, played well across the global market and allowed Diaz the chance to market himself to a larger audience. Following up, he went on a battling streak that included names such as Justice, D-Lor and Protege, always bettering his skills and flow. Known for attacking his opponents with a fast paced verbal onslaught, Diaz is back to take part in Flatline 2 against American battle emcee A-Class.
One of the more successful battlers of the Grindtime era, A-Class built his reputation from the ground up. A regular on the East Coast, Class was first seen on camera's back in '09, testing the waters against lower level opponents. After proving himself, the Baltimore native moved up to facing higher caliber emcee's including Caustic and Rone, and eventually facing Dizaster in an extremely close match at the West Coast M.O.B. event. Since then, A-Class has been focusing on his music, and took part in the now defunct Follow The Leader competition, where he would have battled Ness Lee for the championship spot. Making his second KOTD appearance, A-Class now squares off against Canadian rapper Diaz, both hoping to continue their winning streaks.
