Arkaic is a current Don't Flop battler who has also battled a number of times in the Jumpoff league.
About[]
Arkaic is considered one of the veterans of UK rap battling. Having been involved in the scene at a high level since 2007, the former champion of the WRC UK division has battled against other big names such as Illmaculate, Tony D and Bender. His successes in the WRCs came in 2007, where he battled with his regular partner Eurgh, before being controversially knocked out in the finals. Arkaic was heavily involved in battling until mid 2014 where he announced his retirement, appearing occasionally for other leagues and considered by some a contender for a Don't Flop title shot.
Controversies[]
As an outspoken battler, Arkaic's battling career has had it's fair share of disputes. In one of the WRCs most contested moments, he and Eurgh were eliminated from the competition in the quarter final stage after the judges 'recounted' their decision for overtime. Despite the overtime taking place, it was announced that Eurgh and Arkaic had lost the match at the first judges' count, causing a backlash of abuse from the battlers directly after the battle.
Arkaic formed a tension with Stig of the Dump during his battle with Enlish when Stig was accused of ducking from a battle. Stig claimed he put his career above battling and was annoyed at Arkaic's choice to bring it up during a battle.
In 2013, Arkaic was involved in a dispute with Dizaster, who was battling Unanymous at the time. Dizaster turned to Arkaic during his battle and spat a number of insulting bars. This caused Arkaic to leave the venue, with Dizaster later recounting the events on Twitter, with both parties involved in their share of criticism.
It is believed this tension developed in May 2013 when Dizaster publically expressed his displeasure at Arkaic being awarded the win against Illmaculate.
