SXMPRA And 9LIVES Go Head-To-Head On GOAT Showdown Season 4

GOAT Showdown is back, and on this week's episode, we ventured across the ditch to visit our New Zealand neighbours and returned with SXMPRA & 9LIVES—two of New Zealand’s fastest rising stars.

If you’re not familiar with SXMPRA, where have you been? Boasting over 4 million monthly listeners on Spotify, more than half a billion streams across his discography, and collaborations with artists like Ski Mask the Slump God and Pouya, it’s safe to say SXMPRA deserves a spot on your rap radar.

While SXMPRA delivers fire on the mic, his frequent collaborator, 9LIVES, excels in production. With well over half a billion streams himself and more than 6 million monthly listeners on Spotify, partnering with SXMPRA for this episode makes for one of the most formidable New Zealand musical pairings in GOAT Showdown history.

In this episode, SXMPRA goes head-to-head with 9LIVES to see who will drink one of the least-offensive smoothies ever featured on GOAT Showdown. Watch along as the guys discuss the worst New Zealand stereotype, their least-enjoyable fan interactions, the greatest hangover cure, the most epic hip-hop beef, and the best of New Zealand slang.

Are “sheep shaggers” the worst New Zealand stereotype of all time? What tops the old 'hair of the dog' trick for curing a hangover? Can anyone surpass Drake as the king of hip-hop beef? All these questions and more will be answered in this week's episode.
