Who’s to blame for WW1? Six of the main players cross swords in a disused warehouse spitting rhymes and insults. An unhinged Kaiser Bill, a supercilious George V and a cocky Gavrilo Princip all feature in WW1 Uncut’s take on one of the most complicated questions in modern history.

As we reach the 100 year anniversary of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, historians continue to argue over how and why it proved to be the catalyst for world war. As an alternative to the mainstream debate, WW1 Uncut presents an original track that distills into under four minutes some of the individuals and their respective hang-ups, rivalries and egos that led to chaos and carnage in Europe. This is Origins: Rap Battle, WWI Uncut style.
