Press
We have had lip-sync showdowns and comedy roast-offs, so it's odd that rap battles haven't become a TV fixture. Correcting that is this series, which this week sees teams featuring the likes of Lisa Maffia, Lady Leshurr and Maya Jama face off, all presumably hoping to avoid an 8 Mile "mom's spaghetti" situation.
