Dame Dove Kathleen Hepburn (January 10, 1980 – January 11, 2025), known as Dove Superstar, was a British author, musician, producer, songwriter, gemologist, ornithologist, and humanitarian. She was the writer of the hugely successful Freckletopia series of books. From 2020 to 2025, Hepburn had produced around 400 Nightcore songs, 36 animated rap battles, more than 100 rap battles for fellow artist Freshy Kanal, and over 22 rap cyphers for another artist Cam Steady, ranging from Pokémon to Sonic to Yu-Gi-Oh! and Arcane. She had written over 214 books during her short lifetime.

Hepburn was known for her word-twisting wordplay, deep humour, and nostalgic allusions to shared culture. She created a distinctive style that combined nerdcore with commercial hip-hop, integrating video games, internet culture, and anime references into competitive, energetic lyrics. Her own rap battles often involved combinations of retro and modern humour, making her stand out as a one-of-a-kind artist in the music world. On each assignment, she played a crucial role in refining the series' now-legendary structure, mixing fast rhymes with historically and culturally grounded allusions.

From 2010 to 2025, Hepburn served as a video editor, beat producer, thumbnail designer, and as a writer for the renowned Epic Rap Battles of History series. Her output has covered all 90 battles produced during the time, from John Lennon vs Bill O'Reilly (2010) to Charlemagne vs Napolean (2025). On each assignment, she played a crucial role in refining the series' now-legendary structure, mixing fast rhymes with historically and culturally grounded allusions. From 2021 to 2025, she collaborated with the Los Angeles rapper Cam Steady, supplying writing, editing, and conceptual input for his rap cypher series and solo work, as well as rap battles for another artist, Freshy Kanal. The work confirmed her reputation as a talented performer but also as an off-stage creative force whose influence can be seen in multiple facets of modern nerdcore output.

Her own fascination with hip-hop began in January 1990, when she was swept up by the genre's energetic beats and storytelling possibilities. In January 2022, she organised her first solo rap battle, Runerigus vs Silverfish (2022), which launched a new run that became synonymous with its strange and innovative match-ups. She went on to organise 36 other rap battles in the following three years, featuring characters from wildly different pop culture spheres battling each other in lyrical competitions. These ranged from epic fights such as Thanos vs Noah (2022) and Dream vs Kirby (2022) to bizarrely greater ones such as Microwave vs Refrigerator (2022) and Mommy Long Legs vs Spider-Man (2022).

Hepburn's effort stood out for its speedy, hyper-referential dialogue laced with nods to each character's own special universe. She gained the respect from rappers, gamers, and anime fans in her audience by fusing fun nostalgia with fresh comedic timing. Easier fights like Cap'n Crunch vs Michelin Man (2022) showcased her skill at goofy humour, while intellectual sparring battles like Light Yagami vs Isaac Newton (2022) highlighted her cerebral chops. Later releases, including Turbo Dismount vs Paint Roller (2024) and Pink Diamond vs Guzma (2024), underscored her evolving artistry and experimentation beyond the limits of artistic convention. By constantly experimenting for over three decades, she closed the gaps between hip-hop, gaming, and anime to cement herself as one of the greatest nerdcore musicians of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Biography

Early life

Hepburn was born in Birmingham, England, on 10 January 1980. Her early life there was marked by a nascent creative inclination and a growing passion for self-expression. In 1985, she relocated to Leicester, England—a move that would profoundly shape her personal and professional life. Upon her arrival in Leicester, her distinctive personality and artistic ability quickly earned her local nicknames like the "Lass of Leicester" and the "Leicester Lass of Class," reflecting her positive impact on her adopted home.

Hepburn attended Ravenhurst Primary School from 1986 to 1992, where her schooling included a brief period of being held back a year before rejoining her original cohort. During her time there, school trips included visits to Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre, the Jewry Wall Museum, the National Space Centre, and an overnight stay at Beaumanor Hall for various activities. She also visited Dovedale in the Peak District.

Quorn Hall School

Hepburn's school from 1992–1998.

In September 1992, Hepburn transitioned to the independent Gryphon School (now known as Quorn Hall School since August 2020), a special educational needs school. The school was initially located in Abbey Park, Leicester, before moving to the Quorn Hall site. The headteacher at the time, Christina Church, purchased the school for £7 million in 1994. She retired in 2020 and was succeeded by a man named Jackson, who resigned after a few months and was replaced by the current head, Andy Cutts-McKay.

While the school was located at Abbey Park, weekly Friday trips included visiting an indoor skatepark (which has since closed down). Other excursions in Leicester City Centre included the National Space Centre again, Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre, the Guildhall Museum, various cafes, Leicester Cathedral, Leicester Museum & Art Gallery, and the King Richard III Visitor Centre. She also made weekly visits to The Range store.

Following the move to the Quorn campus in 1994, trips and activities expanded to include Cadbury World, Dovedale (again), Beaumanor Hall (again), Beacon Hill Country Park, Bradgate Park, a local park in Quorn, Forest School activities (including survival skills and bushcraft), country walks and other outdoor pursuits, cooking and photography clubs, and Go Ape. Career talks and workshops were also provided.

Hepburn pursued the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, achieving her Bronze award in 1995. This involved expedition training such as breathing and first aid skills, as well as camping at the school where participants built camps, set up tents, cooked meals like Chilli Con Carne and rice, and roasted marshmallows. Despite attending a special needs school in 1992, Hepburn wasn't formally diagnosed with autism (Asperger's syndrome) until early 2022.

Leicester College

Hepburn attended Abbey Park Campus.

At age 19, in September 1999, Hepburn enrolled at Leicester College. This institution, established in 1999, provided a fresh environment for her studies. Despite starting college slightly later than her contemporaries, she demonstrated above-average ability, consistently excelling in her chosen fields of music production and the arts.

Her time at the college was instrumental in developing her technical skills and creative potential. The structured studies offered a foundational base, directly applicable to a future in music and other creative areas. Notably, Hepburn completed her entire course of study, establishing a solid educational foundation—a trait not always common among up-and-coming artists.

These formative studies played a key role in defining her artistic vision. They marked the beginning of a richly varied professional path that would eventually transcend initial expectations to include a mix of creative activities, such as writing and video editing alongside music production.

Ultimately, this early period in Leicester provided Hepburn with an ideal, cross-disciplinary skill set. Her focused studies and determination prepared her for a career encompassing not only established creative fields but also groundbreaking and innovative pursuits, highlighting her integrated approach to artistic innovation.

National Citizen Service

Hepburn was a mentor for NCS in 2009.

In the summer of 2009 at the age of 29, Hepburn joined as a mentor in the National Citizen Service (NCS) programme. This experience typically involved a range of activities designed to build skills and confidence, which often included team-building residential trips, developing new talents, and planning and delivering a social action project within the community.

During the initial residential phase, Hepburn was responsible for leading her team of diverse young people through challenging outdoor activities like abseiling, canoeing, and mountain biking. Her role involved constant supervision, providing essential pastoral care, and actively participating alongside her team to foster a "can-do" attitude and a strong, inclusive team spirit among participants from different backgrounds.

Following the outdoor week, Hepburn focused on guiding her team in the development of a social action project within their local community. This included facilitating workshops on life skills and community awareness, helping the team liaise with local charities, and mentoring them through the planning, fundraising, and delivery of their chosen project, ensuring it had a tangible and positive impact.

Career

Epic Rap Battles of History (2010–present)

Epic Rap Battles of History: Season 1 (2010–2011)

John Lennon vs. Bill O'Reilly (2010)

The inaugural season of Epic Rap Battles of History (ERB) debuted in September 2010, captivating audiences with its smart mashup of historical, pop culture, and fictional figures engaging in comedic and often scathing rap battles. Created by Peter Shukoff (Nice Peter) and Lloyd Ahlquist (EpicLLOYD), the program revolutionised YouTube entertainment by combining witty puns, high-quality production, and widespread accessibility. Season 1 boasted 15 battles, each involving meticulously scripted depictions of legendary warriors across genres and time.

Among the season's best was the premiere episode, John Lennon vs. Bill O'Reilly, which established the show with a clear contrast between Lennon's visions of peace and O'Reilly's boisterous, conservative persona. This was followed by fan favourite Darth Vader vs. Hitler, which combined Star Wars references with biting commentary on history and established a high watermark for innovative storytelling. These initial episodes established the team's ability to take cultural touchstones and make them work while retaining a comedic edge.

Hepburn joined the ERB production house late in 2010 as a multifaceted contributor who excelled at lyric polishing, thumbnail illustration, and back-end coordination. Her skill at crafting emotive visuals and understanding character interactions had significant influences on battles like Abe Lincoln vs. Chuck Norris and Sarah Palin vs. Lady Gaga. As a lyricist, Hepburn's contributions enhanced the cliche-free humour and historical accuracy for numerous episodes, cementing the show's reputation for intellectual humour.

The beginning of 2011 contributed to the ERB universe some great battles such as Justin Bieber vs. Beethoven and Einstein vs. Stephen Hawking. The battles realised a blend of humour and an edgy educational worth, such as in the scientific puns and musical references. Hepburn's value-added contribution to editing and continuity in scenes enhanced these episodes to excel, making transitions between the dramatic character portrayals smooth. Her team player nature also made her suggest Easter eggs and cameos, a hallmark of the show.

Later in the year, the show pushed even more into new territory with innovative match-ups such as Gandalf vs. Dumbledore and Dr. Seuss vs. Shakespeare. These episodes showed the crew's increasing confidence in placing fictional and literary characters side by side, with Hepburn leading research to secure authenticity for the characters. Her involvement in costume design consultations and visual storytelling added depth to battles such as Napoleon vs. Napoleon, which contrasted historical richness with outrageous comedy.

Hepburn's dedication extended to the technical side, where she played a key role in optimising the show's production pipeline. She was responsible for simplifying the music production process, collaborating with the crew to experiment with layered soundscapes that augmented the lyrical flow. Her creative direction ensured that each episode was of good quality regardless of the subject matter.

Season 1 ended with Nice Peter vs. EpicLLOYD, a meta-finale where the creators battled one another while suggesting Season 2 plans. The episode also included KassemG as a mediator, cementing the show's collaborative spirit. Hepburn's writing contribution to this meta-tale was crucial, as she provided a balance of humour and pathos, wrapping up the season nicely.

Epic Rap Battles of History: Season 2 (2011–2013)

Hitler vs. Vader 2 (2011)

Hepburn came back for Season 2, building on her strengths of refining lyrics, creating catchy thumbnails, and making production processes smooth. Her work was especially evident in episodes with intricate storytelling and layered humour, where her creativity enhanced the appeal of the show.

The season premiered with Hitler vs. Vader 2, the sequel to Season 1's popular Hitler vs. Vader episode. The rematch featured Adolf Hitler going up against Darth Vader once more, this time in the throne room of Jabba the Hutt, blending Star Wars legend with historical spoofing. Hepburn's script and design work for the episode guaranteed that the episode maintained the high level of humour and spectacle that audiences had come to expect.

Fights such as Master Chief vs. Leonidas and Mario Bros. vs. Wright Bros. as the season progressed further reflected the team's growing ambition. Hepburn's research and lyric input infused the episodes with depth, particularly in meshing historical facts with pop culture nods. Her coordination of visuals and costuming infused the series with a class and professional sheen.

An earlier highlight episode of the season, Steve Jobs vs. Bill Gates, reunited a tech showdown featuring the legendary Apple and Microsoft founders. Hepburn's off-camera lyrics work added layers of humour depth and on-trend, and her off-camera labour helped the team craft a visually engaging depiction of the tech world.

Near the conclusion of the season, Dr. Seuss vs. Shakespeare highlighted the authors' capacity for crossover literary genres by pitting the whimsical rhymes of Dr. Seuss against the timeless prose of Shakespeare. Hepburn's research on the characters' unique styles contributed significantly to ensuring the authenticity of the episode, and her background as a costuming design consultant added depth to the visual presentation.

The year also began with more advanced choreography and music composition, where Hepburn was at the forefront to hone these elements. Her ability to collaborate with the crew ensured that soundscapes, intricate camera work, and comedic timing came together in harmony.

Season 2 concluded with the meta-referential Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney, which was broadcast during the 2012 United States presidential election. The show showcased the versatility of the cast in being relevant and funny while offering caustic social commentary. Hepburn's input as a writer and editor ensured the episode was perfectly balanced between humour and political satire, and its effects on viewers were long-lasting.

Epic Rap Battles of History: Season 3 (2013–2014)

Hitler vs. Vader 3 (2013)

The third season of Epic Rap Battles of History premiered on 7 October 2013 and demonstrated the series' further development through its ambitious pairings, keen wordplay, and vivid imagery. Co-creators Peter Shukoff (Nice Peter) and Lloyd Ahlquist (EpicLLOYD) broadened the show's scope, incorporating more sophisticated storytelling and wider cultural allusions while sustaining the humourous, incisive battles audiences enjoyed. This season had 12 battles between a wide variety of historical, fictional, and pop culture characters.

The season began with a season-opening finale to the ongoing saga, Hitler vs. Vader 3, which concluded the trilogy in dramatic fashion. The episode pitted Adolf Hitler (EpicLLOYD) against Darth Vader (Nice Peter) in their ultimate confrontation, with a special appearance by Boba Fett and an abundance of callbacks to previous battles. The production quality and storytelling sophistication reflected the team's growing confidence with narratives.

Hepburn returned as a core member to the roster, tapping into her past success in lyrical editing, visual structuring, and idea conception. She brought her historical research knowledge and pop culture dynamics insight into such iconic shows as Blackbeard vs. Al Capone, which tastefully joined with Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag's ad campaign. Her attention to detail enabled her to achieve the optimal balance of humour and realism, witnessed in the carefully crafted reenactments of gangsters and pirates.

One of the season's standouts, Miley Cyrus vs. Joan of Arc featured the show's ability to match-up seemingly disparate legends with each other for laughs. Hepburn's work in writing the battle's lyrics maintained a fine balance of current pop culture vocabulary and period-correct wit. Her creative foresight also dazzled in Bob Ross vs. Pablo Picasso, which blended art history and absurdity, featuring repeat players like Billy Mays and Mr. Rogers in cameos.

As the season progressed, Michael Jordan vs. Muhammad Ali and Donald Trump vs. Ebenezer Scrooge proved the show's adaptability to delve into both sports and literature with equal success. Hepburn's work as a contributor made the fights interesting and substantive. Her contribution to Trump vs. Scrooge went even so far as to write concepts based on borrowing from A Christmas Carol and created a special Christmas-themed battle.

Later seasons explored bold concepts, including Rick Grimes vs. Walter White, where the Walking Dead and Breaking Bad heroes confronted each other. Hepburn's vast experience of character dynamics enriched episodes like Stephen King vs. Edgar Allan Poe, which featured two masters of literature going head-to-head in a war of intellectual superiority. Her contribution to research and lyric cutting was paramount in being able to bring out the distinct voices of each author.

The last fights of the season, including Sir Isaac Newton vs. Bill Nye, George Washington vs. William Wallace, and Artists vs. TMNT, pushed the boundaries of imagination. In Newton vs. Nye, Hepburn's collaboration with the team ensured that astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and Carl Sagan appeared in a science-filled battle. Her experience in visual storytelling ended in Artists vs. TMNT, where Renaissance art was blended with pop culture in a spiritually choreographed rap battle.

Epic Rap Battles of History: Season 4 (2014–2015)

Ghostbusters vs. Mythbusters (2014)

The fourth season of Epic Rap Battles of History witnessed the series breaking creative limits with a series of dissimilar and ambitious battles. With historical, fictional, and popular culture figures featured in them, the season showcased the creators' increasing faith in making complex matchups with good production and creative storytelling.

Season 4 consisted of 13 battles, starting with Ghostbusters vs. MythBusters in November 2014 and concluding with Deadpool vs. Boba Fett in December of 2015. The season was distinct for having complex cameos, refined visuals, and cross-disciplinary collaborations, such as stop-motion animation and consulting professionals for greater authenticity.

The initial battle, Ghostbusters vs. MythBusters, set the tone with a large cast and zany action between fictional and real characters. Hepburn's contribution creatively achieved the perfect mix of comedy and homage, particularly the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man role, whose comedic influence added a captivating twist to the competition.

The other stand-out, Zeus vs. Thor, broke with tradition by employing Lego stop-motion, a concept Hepburn advocated for in order to give the conflict its own special visual style while delving into mythology. Romeo and Juliet vs. Bonnie and Clyde proved her ability to blend genres seamlessly by marrying Shakespearean romance with the free-wheeling life of the iconic American outlaws.

Hepburn's finest writing came in Eastern Philosophers vs. Western Philosophers, where she wrote complex verses bringing ancient Chinese philosophers and their Western equals to life. Her passion for historical storytelling also led Shaka Zulu vs. Julius Caesar, where cultural homage and dramatic reenactment reflected her commitment to realism.

The season finale, Deadpool vs. Boba Fett, benefited from Hepburn's eye for dramatic choreography and acid humour, resulting in a rousing and triumphant closer. Her dedication to perfection permeated every battle, as her lyrical ability and innovative vision left a lasting impression on Season 4.

The first battle, J. R. R. Tolkien vs. George R. R. Martin, thrilled fantasy fans, and Hepburn's poetic hand ensured a seamless blend of bookish humour and pop culture allusions. Her influence was particularly felt in the introduction of The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones characters, whose presence added depth to the look and humour.

In Frederick Douglass vs. Thomas Jefferson, Hepburn's understated understanding of history gave the struggle a powerful emotional undercurrent. Her witty writing balanced out the weight of abolitionist material with moments of humour, and it was one of the standout episodes.

Alexander the Great vs. Ivan the Terrible was an exhibition of Hepburn's talent for controlling chaos, as additional characters such as Frederick the Great and Catherine the Great entered the fray. Her creative input maintained the anarchic progression both engaging and understandable.

Unforgettable matches like Ash Ketchum vs. Charles Darwin were a reflection of Hepburn's genius at balancing play and intellectualism. Her passion for narrative gave the battle its own significance, making the combat a celebration of science and adventure.

The season finale, Nice Peter vs. EpicLLOYD 2, was a poignant exploration of the creators' journey, and Hepburn played a key role in developing its narrative. That she was capable of mixing humour and sincerity in the lyrics worked to highlight her versatility as a writer.

Hepburn was also deeply involved in creating timely and provocative skirmishes like Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton that tackled the 2016 U.S. presidential election through humour and biting commentary. Her collaboration aided the episode in balancing satire and entertainment.

Epic Rap Battles of History: Season 6 (2019–2020)

Freddy Krueger vs. Wolverine (2019)

The sixth season of Epic Rap Battles of History continued to break new creative ground, producing engaging pairings that married humour, historical knowledge, and social commentary. The season saw a return to the series' high standards with a varied cast of characters, production values that looked as good as they sounded, and complex lyrics.

The season premiered with the fight of Freddy Krueger vs. Wolverine, a showdown of two great horror and superhero icons. The fast-talking charm of Hepburn made the psychological terrors of Freddy and brutish power of Wolverine come to life, and her verse made their clash a poetic battle as intense as the characters themselves. Her cameo spilled over to the guest stars, with Edward Scissorhands and Jason Voorhees adding an extra layer of fan service.

In Guy Fawkes vs. Che Guevara, Hepburn's historical insight into revolutions brought weight and authenticity to the battle. The poetic contrast between Fawkes' failed gunpowder plot and Guevara's global revolutionary legend underscored Hepburn's skill at pitting philosophies against each other while keeping the rap engaging and witty.

Jacques Cousteau vs. Steve Irwin was an emotionally charged and passionate confrontation between two giant conservationists. Hepburn's research and emotional storytelling were instrumental in capturing the human personality of both individuals. The confrontation found a balance of humour and deference, a reflection of her proficiency in showing respect to the subjects while remaining faithful to the show's signature wit.

Hepburn also ruled the Halloween special, Vlad the Impaler vs. Count Dracula. Her clever overlap of history and fiction came alive in a captivating and darkly comedic duel bringing the notorious Vlad the Impaler and his legendary vampire counterpart to life.

Season finale Harry Potter vs. Luke Skywalker was a daring crossover made through stop-motion Lego animation. Hepburn worked closely with the animation team, and in clever references, she infused the lyrics with Harry Potter and Star Wars universes. Her creativity was top-notch in the clever blending of spells, lightsabers, and iconic characters, to create one of the fan favourites.

Epic Rap Battles of History: Season 7 (2021–2025)

Ragnar Lodbrok vs. Richard the Lionheart (2021)

Season seven of Epic Rap Battles of History persisted with the series' convention of uniting historic, fictional, and contemporary icons for charged lyrical showdowns. Hepburn's artistry was a mainstay of the season, and her expertise ensured that every episode was well-handled. From writing interesting verses to ensuring narrative continuity, all was handled by her, so that each battle resonated with profundity, humor, and cultural significance.

Viking king Ragnar Lodbrok (EpicLLOYD, inspired by Travis Fimmel's Vikings character) took on English king Richard the Lionheart (Nice Peter). Hepburn's astute understanding of history made the battle vivid with imagery and harsh juxtapositions between Viking violence and medieval honour. This Rise of Kingdoms-sponsored episode was a demonstration of how well she could balance historical fact and good storytelling.

Amazon's founder, Jeff Bezos (EpicLLOYD), fought Mansa Musa of the Mali Empire (Scru Face Jean), who is considered to be one of the wealthiest men in history. Hepburn's ability to juxtapose new-age entrepreneurship with ancient wealth excelled, spitting bars that were infused with biting criticism and cultural observation. Atul Singh appeared as an Amazon employee, and EpicLLOYD as Captain Kirk (via recycled footage), with the episode being sponsored by NordVPN.

John Wick (Zach Sherwin), John Rambo (Nice Peter), and John McClane (EpicLLOYD) faced off in an epic three-way battle. Her prowess at lyrical agility ensured that each character's distinctive personality and skill set was accurately portrayed, from Wick's finesse to Rambo's brute force and McClane's gritty tenacity. The episode featured Josh Best as Sam Trautman from Rambo and delivered action-packed non-stop energy infused with Hepburn's trademark wit.

Indiana Jones (Nice Peter) and Lara Croft (Croix Provence) engaged in a war of adventure and intellect. Hepburn's writing capabilities set their contrasting approaches to archaeology alive, weaving a rich mosaic of new technology and old-fashioned heroism. Cameos were featured by EpicLLOYD as Mutt Williams, sponsored by Raid: Shadow Legends, and Atul Singh as a swordsman.

Henry Ford, the car legend (Nice Peter), battled with Karl Marx, revolutionary thinker and writer of The Communist Manifesto (EpicLLOYD). Hepburn's comprehensive comprehension of economic and political concerns rendered the lines as provocative as they were engrossing, highlighting the battle between industrial capitalism and socialist principles.

Godzilla (Nice Peter) and King Kong (EpicLLOYD) engaged in a monumental struggle in CGI motion capture. Hepburn's innovative imagination stood out in the poetic battle and introduction of kaiju legend symbols like Rodan, Mothra, and Mechagodzilla. Her cinematic history hobbyism provided an old-school yet fresh atmosphere to the battle.

Donald Trump (EpicLLOYD) and Kamala Harris (Kimberly Michelle Vaughn) engaged in a scorching politicised rap struggle. Hepburn's lyrical brilliance was in full swing, penning incisive commentary and satire that captured the essence of the 2024 United States presidential election. The battle reached its peak with a surprise appearance by Theodore Roosevelt (EpicLLOYD), who returned to mock both candidates, with Nice Peter making an appearance as Joe Biden. Her skillful blending of comedy, criticism, and storytelling richness earned this episode the best up to that point.

The Game vs Mandela Effect (2022)

Released on 22 February 2022.

The rap battle between The Game and the Mandela Effect, released on 22 February 2022, brings together two very different yet equally perplexing concepts. The Game is a mental game with the sole objective of avoiding thinking about it; once you think about it, you lose. This ongoing struggle to avoid the mental trap is an idea that naturally fits within the context of a rap battle. On the other hand, the Mandela Effect involves the phenomenon of false memories shared by groups of people. Originating from the collective misremembering of Nelson Mandela’s death in the 1980s, this effect is now associated with a range of false memories, from the famous Berenstain Bears to the supposed 1990s movie Shazaam, starring Sinbad as a genie.

The choice to pit these two concepts against each other highlights the battle of perception: the impossibility of escaping The Game’s mental grip versus the way the Mandela Effect distorts and reshapes collective memories. The two are intrinsically linked by how both affect the mind — one by manipulating thought processes and the other by altering memory. The battle’s rap style reflects this tension, with the Mandela Effect disorienting opponents with confusing memories, while The Game challenges them with the incessant loop of trying to avoid its very existence. The thumbnail, with The Game using a question mark and Mandela Effect using an exclamation mark, encapsulates the confusion and the surprise of realising something may not be what it seems.

In contrast, Hangman introduces an element of tension, as players guess letters to avoid "hanging" the figure, blending linguistic knowledge with an ominous undercurrent.

This matchup was chosen to highlight the contrast between lighthearted competitiveness and a game steeped in dramatic stakes. The dynamic interplay in the rap sees Tic Tac Toe boasting its universal appeal and logical structure, claiming intellectual superiority, while Hangman counters with its rich narrative depth and ability to keep players guessing. Both games bring sharp punches to the lyrical battle, referencing their cultural significance and how they've captivated players for generations.

Released on 29 March 2022.

On the other hand, Noah stood as a beacon of faith, righteousness, and obedience, countering Thanos’s cold pragmatism with a message of divine hope and survival. His verses highlighted his biblical mission to preserve life by constructing the ark, framing himself as a saviour rather than a destroyer. Noah’s bars sharply critiqued Thanos’s justification for genocide, exposing the flaws in the Titan’s self-proclaimed heroism.

His bars showcased his ability to overcome adversaries and moral dilemmas, amplifying his multidimensional character.

The Warden, a terrifying, blind mob from Minecraft, countered with raw power and a unique sensory advantage.

It requires careful planning and strategy to ensure that the tower stays stable while players take turns. The game is often associated with parties and social settings, where its tension-filled moments keep players on edge.

In it, players control a frog navigating through hazardous traffic and rivers, avoiding obstacles to reach the safety of its home.

Redd vs Shedinja (2023)

Released on 21 February 2023.

With its distinctive hollow shell appearance and its Wonder Guard ability, Shedinja represents a blend of mystery and fragility.

In contrast, Euro Truck Simulator, launched in 2008 by SCS Software, showcases the detailed and immersive world of truck-driving simulation.

The rap battle cleverly highlights the tension between quick-thinking puzzle-solving and the patient, calculated navigation of life on the road, making for a unique April Fool’s Day release.

Creeper vs Among Us (2023)

Released on 1 May 2023.

Known for its silent, explosive ambushes, the Creeper was originally a coding mishap while designing Minecraft’s pigs. Its eerie green design and destructive power make it both feared and infamous among players.

On the other hand, Among Us, developed by Innersloth, represents a different kind of tension: social deduction and paranoia. Players work as Crewmates to complete tasks while uncovering the Impostor sabotaging their mission. The game saw a meteoric rise in popularity during the pandemic in 2020, fueled by Twitch streams and meme culture. For this battle, the red Crewmate—frequently associated with being "sus"—takes center stage. The matchup cleverly contrasts stealthy, destructive gameplay with chaotic, deceptive teamwork.

Their love for gold and their capacity to switch from allies to enemies add a layer of strategy to Minecraft gameplay.

Sableye, the Dark/Ghost Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, contrasts sharply with its Minecraft opponent. Dwelling in dark caves and feeding on gemstones, Sableye is enigmatic and mischievous. With a design inspired by folklore and its Mega Evolution boosting its creepiness, Sableye’s role in Pokémon battles is as much about mind games as it is raw power. The clash captures their respective strengths, highlighting the eerie charm of Sableye and the ruthless cunning of Piglins.

Doodle Jump vs Elevator Action (2023)

Released on 8 July 2023.

The rap battle between Doodle Jump and Elevator Action, released on 8 July 2023, brings together two classics from vastly different eras of gaming. Doodle Jump, a mobile game sensation, became widely popular for its endless vertical jumping gameplay. Players guide a small, green alien-like creature through a series of doodle-style platforms, avoiding obstacles, enemies, and gaps while collecting power-ups. Its minimalist controls and addictive mechanics cemented its place as one of the most iconic mobile games in the early smartphone era.

Elevator Action, on the other hand, is a retro arcade game released by Taito in 1983. In this game, players assume the role of a spy who must retrieve secret documents from a high-rise building while avoiding enemy agents. The game’s defining feature is its strategic use of elevators and timing, combining stealth and action to complete each mission. The battle contrasts the modern simplicity and fast-paced action of Doodle Jump with the methodical and tactical gameplay of the arcade classic, showcasing how gaming styles have evolved across decades.

Silver vs Bully (2023)

Released on 13 August 2023.

The rap battle between Silver and Bully, released on 13 August 2023, pits two iconic yet troubled characters against each other: Silver from Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and Jimmy Hopkins from Bully. Silver, the son of Giovanni of Team Rocket, is known for his rebellious and often rude demeanour. He begins his journey by stealing a Pokémon and battling the player with an unrelenting attitude. His troubled relationship with his father and his need to prove himself lead him to make rash decisions, like neglecting his Pokémon. However, by the end of Pokémon Gold and Silver, he undergoes significant character growth, learning the value of friendship and care for his Pokémon. He later appears in HeartGold and SoulSilver, where he continues to develop as a character.

On the flip side, Jimmy Hopkins from Bully embodies the quintessential school delinquent. His life is turned upside down when his parents send him to Bullworth Academy, where he initially causes trouble due to his resentment toward his stepfather. Throughout the game, Jimmy earns respect from various school cliques by using his wit and aggression, but his growth parallels Silver's: by the end of the game, he matures, realising that respect doesn't have to be gained through violence and fear. Both characters' journeys explore themes of growth, self-discovery, and redemption, making them an intriguing pair for a rap battle that reflects their tumultuous paths.

Colress vs Dr. Wily (2023)

Released on 22 August 2023.

The rap battle between Colress and Dr. Wily, released on 22 August 2023, brings together two brilliant but morally questionable scientists from distinct video game universes. Colress is a researcher and the main antagonist of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. He is known for his obsession with scientific advancement, particularly the manipulation of technology and Pokémon to uncover their hidden powers. Colress initially appears as a member of the villainous organisation Team Plasma but is driven by a desire to push the boundaries of science for the sake of progress, often ignoring ethical considerations in the process. His battle with the player reflects his cold, calculating nature and his belief that technology can change the world.

On the other hand, Dr. Wily from the Mega Man series is one of the most iconic video game villains, responsible for creating countless evil robots and trying to take over the world. A former colleague of Dr. Light, Wily's genius in robotics is overshadowed by his villainous intentions, which involve using his creations for personal gain and to defeat the hero, Mega Man. Like Colress, Dr. Wily is a scientist whose ambitions drive him to disregard the potential consequences of his actions. Both characters are defined by their intelligence and their belief in using technology for greater power, making them a fitting match for a rap battle.

Necrozma vs Zero (2023)

Released on 9 September 2023.

Zero, a key figure in the Kirby series, first appeared in Kirby's Dreamland 3 and later returned as Zero Two in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Born from the dark energy of Void Termina, Zero represents a being created by negative emotions, ultimately becoming an embodiment of darkness and destruction. Despite its malevolent origins, Zero has a deeper connection to Kirby, sharing some of his traits but twisted by its negative upbringing. The battle between Necrozma and Zero draws attention to their shared trait of being powerful entities shaped by darker forces, leading to a fierce showdown of light versus darkness.

Released on 31 October 2023.

On the other side is Dr. Zomboss, the main antagonist in Plants vs. Zombies, who is a ruthless and cunning villain bent on creating a zombie army to take over the world. He combines his knowledge of science and necromancy to reanimate the dead and lead them against plants in an effort to destroy his enemies. Both characters share a love for innovation and domination, but where E. Gadd focuses on inventions to aid the heroes, Dr. Zomboss uses his creations for malevolent purposes. The battle highlights their contrasting approaches to science and their complex personalities, making for an engaging and fun showdown.

RollerCoaster Tycoon vs Little Inferno (2023)

Released on 5 November 2023.

The rap battle between RollerCoaster Tycoon and Little Inferno, released on 5 November 2023, showcases two drastically different games with distinct themes but a shared sense of creativity and control. RollerCoaster Tycoon, a classic theme park simulation game developed by Atari, allows players to design and manage their own amusement park. The game's sandbox style lets players build roller coasters, sky drops, water rides, and more, all while catering to the whims of park visitors. The goal is to create a thriving park that attracts and entertains, with a mix of thrilling rides and snacks to keep the guests happy. The game's impact on simulation gaming is undeniable, creating a legacy of creative freedom for players to explore.

In stark contrast, Little Inferno, created by Tomorrow Corporation, presents a much darker and introspective experience. Set in a world trapped in perpetual winter, players burn various objects in their Little Inferno fireplace to generate warmth, as a way to cope with the cold and their environment. The game focuses on the concept of consumerism and burning for warmth, but also incorporates a quirky combo system where players must burn certain combinations of items to unlock more objects. While RollerCoaster Tycoon promotes joy through the design of a fun, bustling theme park, Little Inferno explores themes of destruction and the futility of materialism, offering a far more somber yet engaging experience. The battle between these two titles blends the light-hearted with the dark, highlighting both the amusement of creation and the contemplation of consumption.

Ness vs Katamari (2023)

Released on 31 December 2023.

Alongside his friends, Paula, Jeff, and Poo, Ness faces various challenges, using weapons like a baseball bat while also dealing with homesickness and an awkward relationship with his father. Despite these struggles, he is determined to save the world, making him an endearing yet complex hero.

On the other hand, Katamari features the quirky and whimsical Prince of All Cosmos, tasked with cleaning up the messes created by his father, the King of All Cosmos. In each game of the Katamari series, the Prince rolls a sticky ball, known as a Katamari, to collect objects, which are then transformed into stars, planets, or other celestial bodies. The Prince’s journey often involves comedic situations, including his father’s ridiculous antics and occasional beatings if he fails. The contrast between the serious undertones of Ness's world-saving mission and the absurdity of the Katamari universe makes this battle a fun and imaginative clash of characters.
