In this clip, Vlad discussed his perspective on the battle rap scene with Math Hoffa. According to Vlad, American rappers appreciate the unique skill set of battle rappers, differentiating them from their Russian counterparts where most successful artists are also battle rappers. Unfortunately, Vlad explained, many rappers in the U.S. only engage in battling in the tail-end of their careers, unlike emerging artists like NLE Choppa or renowned artists like Drake. Despite this, Vlad believes the rap community respects battle rappers' skills. He also tackles the business side of the industry, using 21 Savage as an example. Despite promises to collaborate or do features, the practical reality is that artists prioritize their own sound and brand. He ends the discussion appreciating the open conversation and differing perspectives brought by Math Hoffa, expressing his respect for their friendship and shared commitment to hip hop.
