Battle Rap Chris sits down with the new KOTD champion to talk about the "Blackout 6" battle.

For the first time, the KOTD chain belongs to an American from the East Coast. Rone became the 12th KOTD champion by convincing four out of five judges to cast their vote for him after a close battle with defending title holder Illmaculate at "Blackout 6" in Toronto in the early hours of Feb. 21.

BattleRap.com caught up with Rone after the crowds had cleared to talk about the battle and what comes next.

Check out our pre-battle interviews with Rone and Illmaculate, some play-by-play commentary during the battle and how Twitter reacted to the new champ.
