The ongoing global debate about UK vs. North American rap scenes has taken another turn, thanks to Drake’s now-infamous statement claiming UK rappers are better than US rappers. As expected, that bold claim continues to stir conversation across borders, and WorldWide Entertainment TV is right at the center of it — bringing fans more exclusive footage in Part 2 of this unofficial lyrical showdown.

In this latest installment, we deliver never-before-released performances from both sides of the Atlantic, showcasing the raw energy and undeniable talent from the streets of Toronto, Canada, and the UK grime scene.

Known for her unapologetic delivery and authentic storytelling, Baby Grhyme has become a respected figure for her resilience and dedication to the city’s rap culture.

Their performances, captured during the legendary Michie Mee’s birthday bash, serve as a testament to Toronto’s ongoing contributions to global hip hop — both artists carrying the torch for their respective lanes in the scene.
