Illipsis

“You shit-talk, I talk that shit – it’s a big difference!”

Nat Schumacher, better known as Illipsis, is a Canadian battle rapper from Victoria, British Columbia. Known for intricate wordplay, putdowns laced with pop culture references, and a sarcastic and humorous approach to battling, Illipsis started battle rapping in 2011 when he attended Lord Byng Secondary School in his hometown of Vancouver. Initially getting his kicks and honing his skills battling classmates, Illipsis soon moved on to King of the Dot’s Ground Zero division in 2012. As he ascended the ranks in the Vancouver scene, he found himself competing against established veterans in battle rap, including five former KOTD Champions: Sketch Menace, Real Deal, The Saurus, Chilla Jones, and Arcane. Outside of KOTD, Illipsis has competed on platforms including Ruin Your Day, iBattleTV, Smoked Out Battles, and BeastMODE Battles
