Good morning / afternoon / evening to you all - which ever time zone you may be in!
In 2018 when ERB became fully independent from Disney, we didn't have a grand plan. We wanted to make more rap battles. We wanted to build on the legacy of Seasons 1-5 and we wanted to have some fun doing it.
Most YouTube creators will tell you that the pressure of trying to constantly create great content can be rather debilitating over time. The highs can be very high, but the lows can quic...

It is a big bumper list of prizes this time around to make up for the fact we weren't able to publish one recently whilst working on the two upcoming battles.
Some of the prizes are very unique memorabilia. To enter just head to the link below...

Hello patrons!! Hope you are well.
Just want to confirm that we are aiming to upload the new ERB video on Saturday 27th November. That is plan A. The video is still being tweaked. But it's nearly done.
If we can get it all finished sooner we may release it on Friday instead. But right now, I expect Saturday to be the date. :)
For those unware the match-up is... Jeff Bezos vs Mansa Musa. EpicLloyd takes on the role of Jeff Bezos and...

Hola all you fine Writers & Directors! Yesterday Peter and Lloyd dropped into the ERB Discord server for this months scheduled Discord chat session. Here is a recap of what was discussed...
Lloyd started by saying there was good news and bad news. The bad news was that he "only" had four exclusive photos to share from the recent ERB video shoot. The good news was that they were mainly of him!
He then shared the first photo which was Lloyd as John McClane...

Happy November folks! The ERB crew continue to work on editing the upcoming ERB due for release later this month. Huzzah! And this coming weekend they are filming a second battle - that actually won a previous #MakeThisBattle poll. This whole process has been so great for sifting through all kinds of matchups. So, thank you for taking part!
EpicLLOYD is in the hot seat this month. Let's see what he thought of your ideas!

Hola! First up some bad news - we are having to cancel the planned video live stream we had planned this coming Sunday. Apologies for any disappointment caused. We will try to announce a rearranged date, as soon as we can.
The cancellation is due to things really ramping up work wise and Pete wants to focus all time on continuing the writing for the upcoming "Wick vs Rambo vs McClane" battle. And we simply have to finish the writing soon, so that the lyrics can be recorded and the...

For the past month patrons in our Discord server have been submitting lyrics for a rap battle that we are currently in the process of writing.

If you fancy submitting your lyric ideas for the battle head over to the Discord server and look for the channel ca...

Last weekend we were in the studio in LA filming a brand new battle. Yay!!!
We had a special guest rapper who flew in for this one, who you may well recognise from some YouTube reaction videos.
We are now starting work on editing the video together, whilst at the same time we have started writing a second battle. We hope to film that other battle in early November.
We plan to have the both videos finished and ready for upload in mid-late November & early Dece...

Yesterday Pete & Lloyd hosted this months Discord Chat session over in the ERB Server. As usual here is a recap of what was discussed...
Peter kicked things off saying he had been chatting to Joey Greer this week who has previously appeared as background characters in various ERB videos. He also helped write the Goku vs Superman battle. Pete didn't explain what he discussed with him but perhaps something is afoot.
He then moved on to discuss the upcoming...

We have a brand new poll. Lets see what you all think of these super seven!
Rewind Time! In the last round Captain America vs Captain Picard smashed its way to victory with a pretty big 42% of the vote. I think its a strong pairing. And a good option for them both. Limping behind in second place was Hideo Kojima vs Todd Howard with 24%.

Diving in, let’s make a splash with...

Lloyd and myself do not like Robin Hood. He’s been trying to get into a battle for years now, and every time, he just feels a little bit… soft? Maybe its the tights. Maybe it’s h...

In our most recent ERB Quiz one of the bonus prizes we offered was the chance for one patron to select seven match-ups of their choice to feature on a poll to see what the rest of our patrons feel about them. The winner of the prize was a patron called 'Cheske' and he's now selected seven matchups for you to vote on.
So, please vote for your favorite matchup and let us know in the comments why.

We can now announce the winners of our last ERB quiz. For this one there was a bumper array of prizes. We also made it a bit trickier by asking you to guess what Peter and Lloyd gave as their own answers (rather than the actual real life correct answers).
This was done just to try to give everyone a fairer chance rather than just reward those of you who like to use google search to provide all the answers. :) Hope you understand.
The overall highest scorer was [...
