If you count success by number of battles completed, then Uno Lavoz is one of the most accomplished emcees of the past few years. Having only been in the circuit for roughly two years, the Philadelphia representative has already participated in more battles than almost anyone. After working his way through the lower ranks during GrindTime's last few months, Uno has moved on to battle in King of the Dot, Don't Flop, Real Talk, and various other smaller leagues across the country. With higher profile matchups against the likes of Dirtbag Dan, Lunar C, Jonny Storm and F.L.O., Lavoz has been moving up in the ranks, perfecting his craft and establishing his reputation. Known for his trademark style, Uno Lavoz is always quick with a joke or an outrageous comparison, but is also able to drop bars on his opponents, making him a versatile threat in the ring. Back in the King of the Dot ring, Uno takes on one of his toughest opponents yet in Madness.
Beginning to battle with a higher frequency, Madness has returned at least in part to the high demand for his battling style. A product of the GrindTime era, he built his name up in the Florida and Fresh Coast scenes, battling fellow veterans such as Illmaculate, The Saurus, Iron Solomon, and Soul Khan. One of the first to pioneer the more heavily comical side of battling, Madness become extremely popular for his humorous comparisons and movie bars, establishing himself as a heavyweight, no pun intended. After a brief hiatus following the demise of his “home” league, Madness has jumped back on the horse with renewed vigor, battling in King of the Dot and Don't Flop several times. Showing no signs of having missed a beat, the Florida native is back in KOTD yet again to take on Uno Lavoz, in what many consider to be a battle of the jokesters, in this next release from Blackout 3.
