After Two-Year Hiatus, YouTube Staple ‘Epic Rap Battles Of History’ Plots Return - Tubefilter

Epic Rap Battles Of History, the Emmy-nommed digital series that pits figures from pop culture and history against one another in highly-produced hip hop duals, is readying its comeback after an expansive two-year hiatus. Season six of the series, which is created by Peter Shukoff and Lloyd Ahlquist -- better known to the channel’s 14 million subscribers as Nice Peter and Epic Lloyd -- is set to bow next spring. The guys teased the return of the series in a video on their channel today (below), which also revealed that fans won’t have to wait until next year for a taste of new content: a bonus episode -- in which Shukoff and Ahlquist will battle against one another as themselves -- is set to drop next Friday. Epic Rap Battles went on hiatus after its last episode in Jan. 2017 -- in which Shukoff and Ahlquist also faced off against one another. Shukoff told Inverse that the duo was burned out after relentelessly creating content for six years -- or “feeding the machine,” as he describes it -- though they did team up for a tour this year in which they performed some of their biggest hits.
