V1 BATTLE:

[arcadianflmnl]

I love the clear contrast in styles between these two

[fabivilla]

Im not a drummer but it felt like nick brown’s drumming was more subtle and played with dynamics more, whereas Moskvin played loud and flashy...

[oneaheadtv]

I swear I didn't know Russians had this type of skills in beat making. The dude with the hoodie is dope as fuck.

[jakobsonsaussure]

that youtube algorythm really paying off
this is dope af

[guitygro]

It’s obvious that Moskvin spends more time perfecting his drum theory. So precise and fluent. Truly a disciplined artist.

[modernmusicstudio]

Their styles are definitely different. Love the Funkiness of Moskin. Both did an awesome job!

[SuperTimeChange]

Mad respect. You both did an amazing job.

[ftmouse]

Nick is just so smooth, he makes it look literary effortless. Timing is also unmatched

[DrNo]

The audience clapping makes my feel like I’m watching golf.

[leonard]

3:09 yeah !!🔥🔥🔥🔥...man, the way they're dressed alone tells you they're old hip hop heads that mean business..I love it.

[Ratkill]

Moskvin uses some really deep and well rounded samples, but his timing and technique is not the same as some of the competitors I've seen. Too many press one button and wait moments. Nick is legitimatly old school in his approach, flawless in execution, but the casuals just aren't into it.

[FunkyJay]

Moskvin, so much fire. Glad I stumbled upon this.

[djnickbrown]

Хороший финал, спасибо организаторам что делаете такие баттлы! 🙌🏽

[jimdino]

Moskvin is insane.... he demonstrated his ability to finger the sample pattern while performing the drums, but went absolutely crazy when it came to doing the drums alone

[w.o.t.]

Москвин как вкатил с первого выступления, так и до сих пор приятно слушать.

[theobscuresound]

I love Hip-Hop. From the Bronx to every nook and cranny worldwide.

[dellasx]

Both them are great. Moskvin has dirty drums from the 90s and Nick Brown got them clean drums from the 2000s. Both challengers has some good 90s Boom Bap Jazz/Funk Pop samples. Great job for both of them! I like it.

[IkaRys]

Блин, Москвин своим первым трэком просто порвал, я вхламе 🤪а вообще оба красавцы . Круто, молодцы .

[Tatsuge]

Yoooo nick got my vote right after 3:00. That shit was nasty:0 a fantastic battle nevertheless, it’s so cool to see the respect and energy between the two

[SupaPoopaScoopa]

Both brilliant but man dude on the left, has got me moving and smiling with his wonderful colourful mixups.
