KOTD - A. WARD vs REAL SIKH I  

This was a gentleman's 30. Real Sikh 3-0. Ward was solid as always with good moments. Real Sikh is just rapping on a whole other level right now. Great battle.

Sikh smoked A Ward. It was unbelievable to see. Sikh had so many bars that had me rewinding them and shaking my head even after hearing them multiple times. Sikh really got on my radar with his performance vs Homeskool. When this battle got announced I thought to myself, that if Sikh performs like that again, it's over for Ward. And it happened. I don't even think that a fully prepared and rested A Ward could have done anything to Sikh. Sikh just raps better.

Best showing of Sikh’s career? I feel like I come back to this battle once a month

“Airin out the joint like I’m cracking my knuckles” 🔥🔥

Sikh quietly having one of the best performances on kotd, period, ever.

Easily a BOTY contender for 2023, Ward and Sikh both showed why they're 2 of the best names in battle rap today, and there's so much potential replay value for this battle!

Real Sikh is quickly becoming a fav to watch currently. That “Sikh’s in the six with a 6 shooter cuz the devils in the details” was nasty!!

This battle is one of the best this year. From the bars, rebuttals, counter writing, to ideological and theological debate. This battle had everything. No chokes, great crowd, Loso and Ars playing hype men. This battle had an energy all its own. I gave Sikh the first two rounds, but truly the third and first are super close. This battle could be a classic, but I need a few more watches.

idk if i’ve ever rewatched a battle as much i have this one. crazy

I thought there was no way Sikh was getting past Wards first round. Each of them kept toping the other, but I think Sikh edged each round 3-0.

As good as A-Ward was, Sikh was just on another level!!

A ward's rebuttal in the 2nd is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

like he switching pronouns he went from Amen 🙏🏾 to they , them 🫵🏾 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sikh is a calculated killer; he doesn’t get enough credit .

This battle is Up there with Chilla vs JC, Nitty vs Award, Roc vs Lyt etc. one of the best battles of ALL TIME. Congrats to both these artists.

King of the Dot, please keep booking Real Sikh and give A. Ward a title match. Also, this is an amazing battle. This is everything I love about battle rap.

Sikh first round was one of the best rounds in recent history

The culture won but if I had to call it, I’d take Sikh

seeing Arsonal behind Sikh is special

“A men to they/them is CRAZY” 😳🤯 🔥

It's my first time watching SIKH, he's incredible. I'm annoyed by how many of his lines exceeded the crowd's head. The guy has intelligent bars, no filler. His Greek Mythology scheme was fire along with his mental health scheme, wordplay and various angles, from opening Jordan bars to breaking down the dogma of Ward's religion, etc. I rate A. Ward, but Real SIKH is a different beast with the pen.

Ward's 1st was crazy. 3-0 Sikh, though. That was an ass kicking.

A Ward is so good that even when you don't want to like him, you can't help it.

I haven't felt so glad watching a battle in a long time. BEST battle of the year

One of the best battles of the year hands down

Ward was wiggin but Sikh is a fucking monster now lmaoo

Just finished the battle. Real Sikh really 30 A-Ward… I’m speechless. He spoke to his soul in front of Loso. Lmaoo. Now personally I believe Ward wasn’t fully prepared for this battle. Sikh proved a point this battle. He is a force to be wreckoned with. Great battle. Best 3-0 I’ve ever seen honestly.

This is the best real Sikh I have ever seen 💯💯💯 great battle

This a gentleman’s 3-0 for Sihk, ward was bombing too but I feel like all Sihks rounds were a little better. Dope battle 🔥🔥

This the best battle to drop in 2023. I have watched it 10+ times but has insane replay value. Sikh edged it but Ward was good too. The crowd reactions, cinematography and sound quality are all top notch.

I know most people are (rightfully) saying Sikh 3-0 but I genuinely can't fathom the people saying A Ward took this. Sikh left Earth. That third round was a poetic masterpiece. A true MC through and through

Backhanded gems like the infinity gauntlet is insane

Bigg K vs Sikh

Sikhs rebuttal in the first was crazy but Wards listen to logic rebuttal in his second was in insane! 🔥 battle

Sikh 3-0 ward was good but Sikh was better every round

2-1 Sikh. Forgive me father and mother 🙏🏽

Seeing a lot of bias against A Ward in the comments, both went crazy man. This a classic

God is an energy and i got it!😮😮😮

Real Sikh would be a top tier battler on this league

As an Award fan i can honestly say 3-0 sik

When Loso asked A Ward if he wanted to go to heaven 😂😂

Battle rap is looking HEALTHY nowadays

that crackin my knuckles bar went fkn STUPID.. its one of them bars thats like - how hasnt that ever been said before - and maybe it has, but i never heard it. that actually made me just say "....god damn" out loud

Award got bodied

Wow!! That's the best Sikh i've seen yet. The writing he did in this one is unmatched. He killed Ward. If that's not a 30 ball idk what is.

Bro Sikh is insane. First time watching him dude is fyee.

Sihk first insane... wow this classic !!

So.. when is Sikh v Big K going down?

I meet real sikh in a hookah lounge in Edison NJ Before he blew up real Humble real dope dude

Backhanded gems like the infinity gauntlet 😩😩😩😩🔥🔥

I love watching A-Ward lose

I slant it (Eyes slanted) on a horse, Genghis Khan. Is Crazy 😂😂😂😂

"If he ever battle Caustic, I hear he'd pay the Jefferson Price" Daaaaayum, that battle STILL gettin referenced 10 years later. Crazy! Awesome battle. Both of these are absolute god tier.

That wife in a casket line by Sikh was craaaaaaazzzzyyy. "You can tell her that your love language is acts of service." 🔥 🔥 🔥 That's like a triple entendre 😢

Organik looks like Elon Musk after a 2 year meth habit 💉💉💉💉💉

"There's a difference between lookin to Ward and Sihk in asylum" 😤🔥🔥🔥

Sikh sounds like Pat Stay and Dizaster...

LOSO said “do you want to go to heaven?” Boyyyyy I’m dying 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They both spazzed. Definitely a classic

“I slant it on a horse, Genghis Khan” WHAT.

Sikh 2-1 1st and 2nd. It's crazy how anybody that beats Ward gotta be the best they ever been. This the best Sikh i ever seen!

Air out the joint like im cracking my knuckles is ridiculous. Sikh went crazy in the 1st.

Clear 30 - Sikh, amazing battle

Sikh got a Eazy 30 over a good A. ward

Loso saying you want to go to heaven as a hype man might be the corniest shit I’ve ever heard

"siks (6) upside down but he dressed to the 9's"

Real surprised by Sikh. I've heard him maybe 2 or 3 times before, but wasn't real impressed. After this one I'm going back to do some investigating.😮

Sikh is wiiiiiiildnggg 😨😨😨🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Real Sikh - All 3 of them thangs! 🤯🤯🤯😩🔥🔥🔥

Both of them went fuckin hard. But damn, Sikh got haymaker after haymaker.

I never realized DMX had a Punjabi brother, crazy

Wow 😮 A Ward got 3-0. Sikh was a level above 👆 all 3 rounds. 🔥🔥🔥🫡

Bruh, that “I guess to don’t listen to logic” rebuttal?! CRAZY!!! 🔥🔥🔥 DON DEFUCKIN MARCO!

I'm normally with A ward. But sikh was tooo sikh. 3-0 sikh. That was fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

"Like a happy custodian they Whistle with the mop stick" 🥶🔥🥶

Sikh edge this. Im an A-ward fan but hes been facing everyones best. So this the result.

No one: Loso: “You wanna go to heaven?”

He exposed award crazy

Ward be rapping his ass off but Sikh 30

In my opinion, this was the battle of the night and one of the better battles I've seen recently. Delivery, performance, lyricism, angles, bars and rebuttals. Not enough battles these days have all of these elements.

Award was coo but Sikh smoked his ass 🤯🔥🔥

That's the worst beating Award has ever taken and he was spitting fire! Great battle

Real vs Bigg k would be nuts

I was not expecting for Real Sikh to 30 A Ward. He went crazy! Organik used to battle so it's cool to see him enjoy the bars as a fan and reacting is 🔥. I have always loved KOTD since it started

why is Mike P looking more and more Indian every time he is around Real Sikh

😂😂😂😂 Loso 9:10 “You wanna go to heaven?”

Is it me or does Real Sikh remind you of DMX because of his voice and delivery? It just hit my mind right now and I never saw it before.

Real.Sikh has always been so underrated in my opinion and he is one of the best for sure. A Ward is nice but Sikh got this clearly

Sikh Vs Illmac needs to happen on KOTD

I aint never see my boy Ward drink so much gotdamn water my God…. I almost had to look away. First time seeing Sikh battle and I am a new fan .. this was a goodie

I like how A. Ward always pays respect and listens and smiles after his opponents good bars, shows he's a good sport. 2-1 either way, good battle

I thought this battle would be close, Sikh crushed Ward.

This battles was a BANGER, thank you KOTD and A Ward and Real Sikh

Real Sikh vs Bigg K would be different

Did the dude in the mask really say "you already know who it is" ? ..ok guy if you say so. Salute.

Sikh actually killed that. That last round was crazy

i NEVER seen Ward in this much trouble....THIRTY!!!

Sikh shoved him back Hella hard and came back with the "my bad" that's how you know King of the dot just got love for the game in the air, ain't shit personal bro. Love this event

This the BEST sihk ive heard. He went in

I think sick 3-0 ward. But it's debatable. Both of em were 🔥
