The first time Bar God and Nova shared a stage, it was a battle. They split the judges 2-1. Neither claimed the win. Neither admitted the loss.
Two years later, they share a merchandise line, a podcast, and a combined fan club roster of 18,400 members. The rivalry wasn't a ending — it was a beginning.
"Battle rap is the only genre where your competition makes you bigger. Every bar he throws at me builds my rep." — Bar God
