King Addies wins 10 straight Premier League Soundclash

-

The clash world is on fire again after King Addies’ putdown of USA’s World Clash contender Stereo 5 in Premier League Soundclash, which took place in New York City on April 23.

Roughly 1,500 patrons witnessed as Stereo 5, which is set to participat­e in ‘World Clash The End’ on May 1, was unanimousl­y ‘slaughtere­d’ in the four-round clash.

Stereo 5 won the first round of the clash. However, King Addies rebounded and won three consecutiv­e rounds, and in the process effected a brutal lock off of Stereo 5.

Premier League 2022 is King Addies 14th lock off victory in the last 11 years, and also adds to their unmatched 10 clashwinni­ng streak.

Last Saturday’s clash was the first Premier League event to occur since the end of COVID-19 event restrictio­ns. King Addies entered the ring as the defending champion of the league from both their 2018 double lock off win over Japan’s Yard Beat and Italy’s Northern Lights, as well as their 2019 win over New York’s One A Day.

KingPin, of King Addies, described Saturday’s win as pleasurabl­e.

“The clash was important because the 2017 King Addies versus Stereo 5 [ contest] ended in controvers­y, and no one went home with the trophy. Since then, Stereo 5 was talking so much trash, and so I finally got the chance to ‘murder’ him,” KingPin said.

Stereo 5 now moves on to this weekend’s staging of World Clash The End with bruised egos. King Addies, however, will not be competing.

World Clash The End, which takes place in Birmingham,

England, will see sound system giants who popularise­d the World Clash brand being honoured in ceremonial style. Those set to be honoured are Bass Odyssey, Panther, Tony Matterhorn, Ricky Trooper, Mighty Crown and David Rodigan.
