Combatant Profile: Daylyt Eclipses the Competition
“Rap is a complete joke, so I have no intentions of being serious at this level of hip-hop. It’s over for serious hip-hop. The entire hip-hop scene is a walking gimmick. Gimmicks got me to the top, not skill level.”
Have you ever heard of a battle rapper whipping out his dick onstage? How about a battle rapper who gets butt naked or chokes out an onlooker? Sound strange? Well, meet Daylyt.
The Watts, California rapper has never shied away from pulling stunts—he inked a Spawn tattoo on his face to follow in the comic book character’s footsteps, has scratched his testicles and wiped his hand on Loe Pesci’s face, and even dressed up as a superhero on multiple occasions.
In fact, Daylyt has told interviewers that he wants “to be a gimmick rapper.” After his indecent exposure during the 40 B.A.R.R.S. battle, he claimed that he’d “never not do an antic again.” So it makes sense then that earlier this year, he showed up to Queen Of The Ring, a battle league usually reserved for women. Purists don’t respect it, all the tomfoolery eventually comes off as corny to those that take the craft of battle rap seriously, but to Daylyt, it’s only gotten him more attention.
