Clash Summary

DOMI DUSK vs RA’SIAH took place on **PenGame Rap Battle 2025**, during an Easter event connected to the wider Cold War tournament rollout. The host introduces the battle after reminding viewers that new battles are dropping every Wednesday and Saturday, with early access available.

RA’SIAH wins the coin toss and DOMI DUSK goes first.

DOMI opens with a crude and aggressive first round. He attacks RA’SIAH’s size, lip filler, body shape, alleged BBL, Caribbean identity, lateness, sexuality, relatives, address, weed use and job status. His strongest line is around RA’SIAH arriving late and the “time of your death being delayed.” He also has a “E-A-T-I-N-G sausage” flip and ends with battery, tampon and Dubai chocolate imagery. The round has aggression, but it is messy in places.

RA’SIAH answers with a stronger and cleaner first. He flips DOMI’s name into “Dominic Dusk,” says he will leave him in the dust, attacks his clothes, smell, TikTok image, comedy skits, music, dancing, charts, body odour and immigrant/van imagery. He also uses dry-elbow jokes, dark-skinned Elmo, auction-block imagery and “no bright idea” lines. It is more controlled, more direct and lands as the cleaner opener.

DOMI’s second is his best pure insult round. He brings auntie material, maths jokes, brown-skin/burgundy imagery, chocolate/tiramisu, P Diddy references, Winnie the Pooh, “zesty friend,” FGM/Bethlehem shock material, relationship and sexuality insults, big toe/bunion/onion jokes, breath, tight outfit, Passive/phlegm references and food/body material. It is disgusting, personal and designed for shock.

RA’SIAH’s second responds with identity and culture attacks. He calls DOMI a “five-foot Zulu joke,” says he looks fresh off the boat, attacks his darkness, comedy, lack of fame, fan reaction, Ghanaian identity, light-skin/mixed-race confusion, refugee/displacement imagery, Martin Luther King, his father being a pastor and a sexuality line. The round is aggressive but slightly less clean than his first.

DOMI’s third brings the biggest performance moment of the battle. He responds to the sexuality material with the “LGBT means let’s get bitches together” line, then runs through TMNT, Raphael, Zangetsu, Daffy Duck, Scooby-Doo, Gordon Ramsay, Honey Bear, Avatar, Kendrick/Drake, deportation and BLM material. He then turns fully into the Ghana angle, saying he is from Ghana, born here but raised in Ghana, and pulls out **Kenkey** as a prop. The Kenkey causes a big reaction because it drops on the stage like a brick and the host pauses the battle to ask what it is. This is DOMI’s clearest room-control moment.

RA’SIAH’s final round is darker and more direct. He attacks DOMI’s birth, porn/gaming habits, school cap/durag contrast, lack of fame, fake Akon imitation, dry black TikTok generation image, Red Cross/Brent Cross, online skits, Ghana, the transatlantic slave trade, no-shoes/Africa imagery, Django, coconut/mango, water/mineral jokes, Slender Man, moustache/gender imagery and ends with blunt identity attacks. The round is offensive and hostile, but as battle material it directly counters DOMI’s Ghana/pride section.

There is no official judgement. The host tells viewers to get in the comments and say who they think won.

This is a close battle because DOMI has the biggest prop moment, but RA’SIAH has the cleaner first and the stronger final counter. Archive Judgement edges to RA’SIAH.

Performance Analysis

RA’SIAH

RA’SIAH wins because his first and third rounds are more controlled and more opponent-specific. He also has the stronger overall attack on DOMI’s public image. His first round is the cleanest round of the battle. He attacks DOMI’s name, clothing, smell, TikTok persona, comedy skits, music, dance ability and body image. It is direct and easy to follow. His second is more chaotic but still aggressive. He leans into cultural and identity attacks, saying DOMI is not as authentic as he presents himself. The round has heavy material around Ghana, skin tone, displacement and status. His third is the deciding round. DOMI’s Kenkey prop gets a huge reaction, but RA’SIAH responds by attacking the Ghana angle directly. He questions DOMI’s identity, heritage, platform image, fame, and uses slavery/Africa/Django references to make the round feel heavier and more direct. It is uncomfortable, but it works as a battle counter. RA’SIAH’s biggest strength is directness. He makes DOMI’s image the target from start to finish.

Lyrical Themes: Dominic Dusk name flip, dust, TikTok skits, comedy, music career, same clothes, smell, charts, dark-skinned Elmo, auction-block imagery, dry elbows, Ghana identity, refugee/displacement, Akon imitation, dry Black TikTok generation, Red Cross/Brent Cross, slavery/Django, coconut/mango, minerals, Slender Man.

DOMI DUSK

DOMI makes the battle very competitive and has the most memorable single moment with the Ghana/Kenkey prop. He loses narrowly because RA’SIAH is more consistent across the full battle. His first round is aggressive but scattered. He has good ideas around lateness, Caribbean crash, ETA, sausage and battery, but it does not land as cleanly as RA’SIAH’s opener. His second round is his best written insult round. The auntie, maths, chocolate/tiramisu, Winnie the Pooh, zesty friend, big toe, bunion and breath material is nasty and direct. It gives him a strong case for round two. His third is the performance highlight. The LGBT flip, anime/cartoon schemes and Ghanaian food prop make it memorable. Pulling out Kenkey turns the round into a moment, and the room reaction proves it worked. However, RA’SIAH’s final round attacks the Ghana angle hard enough to edge the battle overall. DOMI’s biggest strength is unpredictability. His weakness is that his rounds can become messy and shock-heavy.

Lyrical Themes: Lip filler, BBL, Caribbean crash, ETA/sausage, family protection, battery, Dubai chocolate, auntie material, maths jokes, brown-skin/burgundy, chocolate/tiramisu, Winnie the Pooh, zesty friend, big toe, bunions, onion smell, Passive/phlegm, LGBT flip, TMNT, Zangetsu, Scooby-Doo, Gordon Ramsay, Avatar, Kendrick/Drake, Ghana, Kenkey prop.
