of that have a ranking system

new taleent. If anyone is in the

AndtwonDadon: Everyone seems
to be starting a battle league, what
makes IMBL unique?
AC Dutch: This is very true.
The main thing that separates
us from other leagues is our
pool of talent. We are not flying
in the stars you already know
of. We are showing love to our
own region of stars by creating
the platform for them to shine.
Aside from that, they way we
film our battles is different. The
ending of our battles consists
of bars from the battle. I have
never seen it done before. We are
also about to implement the first
ever “battler cam” of any league.
On all future IMBL battles, the
viewer will be able to feel what
it’s like inside of the ring, with
our new battler-cam technique. I
can’t wait to roll that out for our
April 5, 2014 anniversary. Make
sure you check out www.ironmouth901.com to see how that
looks like.
AndtwonDadon: See? Now tell
me the South ain’t on their s**t!
(AndtwonDadon laughs)
AC Dutch: (AC Dutch laughs) We
also held our very own IMBL
Awards show that I mentioned
earlier. We wanted to shed some
light on the work that our Iron
Men and Iron Women have put
in on the battlefield, but we were
also able to have some performances from our battlers; another platform for them to showcase
the music they are putting out.
AndtwonDadon: So not only do
the artists get to battle, but there
is also a lane for artists to get their
music out through. This is what I
mean when I say “branding” and
“being creative in your business”.
You are definitely doing so.
AC Dutch: Thanks, man. It is
a true team effort. My day-one
business partner, K-Wine is a
major factor in how we do our
thing. We also have a lot of
love being shown from our city
and in the Iron Mouth Battle
League group on Facebook.
Check out the battles at www.
ironmouth901.com. We are also
the first battle league to have a
“gesture”. It is the “#hom” or
“hand over mouth”. If you or
anyone you know wants to get in
the ring, email ironmouth901@
gmail.com. We also have a
weekly radio show called “On
The Line with K-Wine”. That
show is hosted by my business
partner K-Wine and comes on
every Thursday at 9:11 p.m. —
Memphis time. There is never
a dull moment and it is a great
place to catch up on what’s new,
what’s next and what’s poppin’
with the Iron Mouth platform.
