Dalit has a unique perspective on the so-called “Big Three” battle. The rapper has been linked to Drake, J Cole and Kendrick Lamar and has weighed in on various diss tracks released between them. This makes him authoritative on what to expect and whether there’s more fans should expect. Dalet even appeared on J Cole’s album, in which the Dreamville rapper dissed Kendrick Lamar. However, as far as he was concerned, the battle was officially over.
Daylyt shared his two cents on the battle on X (formerly Twitter). Not only is he involved, but he acknowledges that the conversation surrounding the fight is outdated. “This is my last and final post about this beef,” he wrote. “So y’all don’t keep coming to my page looking for ebony type tweets.” The rapper then revealed that he’s had separate conversations with the Big Three in recent weeks. “I talked to Cole,” he added. “I talked to Dot, I talked to Drake. The beef is over.” Daylit then turned his attention to the great music coming out of the beef and the great music to come. “Let’s get back to making good music,” he tweeted. “For all you rap lovers out there, the game is on!”
Daylyt hopes to break X record
Over the years, Dalit’s collaboration with the Big Three has taken on different forms. He collaborated with J. Cole on “Pi,” which also featured a performance by TDE rapper Ab-Soul, which produced his first Billboard charting single. He has worked with Drake before, though there was controversy surrounding the work they did. Some fans believe that Daylyt wrote “Back to Back” for Drizzy, and that Daylyt’s song “Uncharged Up” was meant to make fun of Drake’s diss “Charged Up.” Another Daylyt song, 2016’s “Cat’s Out the Bag,” supports the “back-to-back” theory in its lyrics. “They were all Jewish,” he said. “Help them write back 2 but what money are you offering. Drake Joe, who should I ride for.”
Dalet isn’t the only one claiming the war of the Big Three is over. On May 10, Kendrick Lamar’s former label head Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith tweeted a similar sentiment. “The battle is over,” he wrote. “It’s a win for the culture while keeping everything on wax. Especially when publications try to turn it into something else. We proved them wrong. That’s a win in itself.” At the Lamar Release “Meet Days after the one-two punch of the Grahams” and “Not Like Us,” Top Dawg’s sentiments were shared.
