Method Man is stepping into the battle rap arena with Brooklyn’s Math Hoffa. The veteran battle rapper made the announcement via Twitter on Sunday (August 16).
“Yes. It’s real,” he wrote alongside a photo of the Wu-Tang Clan legend and himself side by side. “#fortheculture.” The text underneath reads, “METHOD MAN vs. MATH HOFFA.”
On Monday morning (August 17), Hoffa was evidently still hype and plugged the impending battle again via Twitter with, “GUESS WHOS NEXT?!”

Hoffa and Meth’s collaborative relationship stretches back years. In 2011, they connected on the track “Double Barrel” featuring production from J-Glaze. Since then, Hoffa has continued to uphold his reputation as one of the best battle rappers in the business while Meth (of course) has carried the Wu-Tang torch.
