When Joe Budden released “Making A Murderer (Part 1),” the diss track that took shots at Drake and (to a much lesser extent) Meek Mill, he said it was all in the spirit of bringing competition back to Hip Hop. Well, he’s found some competitors, but not the ones he expected.
Meek dismissed the Slaughterhouse rapper with an Instagram post, and Drake has yet to respond at all, but now two battle rappers have joined the fray with on-wax rebuttals.
We’ve already posted Daylyt’s response on the site, but today (July 4) top-tier battler Hollow Da Don released a track that hits Budden with more bars.
Hollow and Budden stood across from each other in person when they clashed in the main event of “Total Slaughter” in July 2014, a battle that the judges gave to the veteran battle rapper.
In a song that co-opts the presumptive title of Budden’s follow-up diss, “Making A Murderer Pt. 2,” Hollow goes in on a few angles of attack. Among them: Budden’s ex (you lookin’ sloppy, Joe / Sloppy like the toppy that Tahiry gave to Drizzy though”) and his podcast’s audience numbers (I drop one battle, it get views on views/You barely crack a hundred thou’ with your reviews on Views). He ends the song with audio from their battle, when the crowd began booing Budden.
The video also acts as a promotional tool for Hollow’s LOM Clothing brand, which just happens to have a new line of shirts that aligns him further with Drake. The second letter in each of the words in the Loyalty Over Money slogan is highlighted, spelling out OVO.
Drake and Hollow have known each other for at least a few years through Drake’s well-documented status as a battle rap fan, and also with Hollow putting the Toronto rapper onto Mike Zombie, who produced tracks for Hollow before creating the mega-hit “Started From The Bottom” for Drake.
Check out the full track below.

Budden responded to Hollow on Twitter but has since deleted the tweet.
Meanwhile, it looks like he’s readying another release.
Corny as fuck and all just to push a clothing line lol guys outa his element usualt battle rappers are about minding there own staying out of the spotlight and this dipshits making diss tracks and begging fir attention just to sell a few t shirts guys pathetic lol sick battle rapper though…
garbage
LOL rhyming to a beat is a “battle rapper’s” worst nightmare. Shit straight gaaaaabidge
To be fair its better than Budden’s diss track but not sure why any of these two are releasing diss tracks.
Well go to know da truths tone deaf…lyricaly incompetent too..it’s like he just mummbled shit aside from 3 lines.
Are you a fcking idiot? how is this track better?? lmao

Stanning on 1,000,000,000! Borderline restraining order. And that hashtag pretty much tells us that you’re a teenage white girl from the burbs. Men don’t type gay shit like that. Super creepy.

Another drake ghostwriter confirmed

This shit garbage
No way this track is better…..
Stick to Battle Rapping Hollow…was crushed when i heard this from you. Horrible. You are in the wrong arena.
Wasn’t terrible but wasn’t great. You should at least top the $#!t you are dissing. Would be a B but it’s a B – for being salty and trying to weasel on someone’s spotlight to do with.
Hollow, you didn’t beat Budden- you won by disqualification. Oh, and the fans were booing the mics not working.
Hollow needs to stick with battle rap. His songs suck a**. Joe Budden lyrically will destroy him on a track. He stomped out Drake with pt. 1, and for Drakes sake he should just dismiss this because he can’t handle Budden.
Nigel??? Look you Go! (Pat Stay Voice)
This sh*t trash dookie!!!!! Sound bad on a beat bruh.
This is wack to be honest. You’re an incredible battle rapper, but your delivery, bars, and flow on this is lazy and sub par.
Lmao…. Joey drops a diss track to Drake, and three other rappers respond
I’d rather read a Hollow diss than listen to it on a beat.
Gawd! That was terrible! Yea, you are a battle rapper, but can you actually make a song? Not even feeling the wordplay, and the flow, garbage. Sorry, back to the drawing board for you. Sounds so hollow (pun intended)
LOL, hollow needs to stick to battle rap, this was pure trash
Why holla riding drakes dick
How many times can you say sloppy Joe in the first 4 lines. This shit is wack as fuck. Cat said ‘joe” 52 times in one song. Terrible.
Another example of battle rappers making horrible records. This is one of the worst diss responses I’ve heard in years.
Hallow or w.e his name is just want attention. Tell him to stick to underground rap battles and leave what’s going on to the mainstream artists.
