It appears that veteran emcee Mickey Factz wants to accept Mos Def’s challenge and plans to bring well-known lyricists Lupe Fiasco and Daylyt to battle Mighty Mos’s selected Black Thought and King Los. 

In the comments of King Los’s Instagram post, Factz explained that he, Lupe Fiasco, and battle rap icon Daylyt once pitched themselves as opponents for Mos Def’s dream team. According to Factz, the idea never materialized because Mos quickly dismissed it. 

“We already wanted to do it. Me, Lupe Fiasco and Daylyt… mos said no immediately lol,” Factz wrote, his words carrying both humor and a hint of disappointment.

Factz went further, mapping out how the faceoffs might have unfolded. “I would have had the pleasure of facing off against you… because day and thought yea lol,” he said, suggesting Daylyt would naturally match with Black Thought, while Lupe would square off with Mos Def. That left Factz envisioning himself against King Los—a pairing that, for fans of pure lyricism, represents a battle of technical mastery versus underground credibility.

His response lent weight to Mos Def’s latest statement, framing it not just as spontaneous bravado but as a challenge with real precedent. By reminding fans that he and his peers had once offered themselves as contenders, Factz hinted that this time might be different—that Mos could finally be ready to back up his words onstage.

For many, the comment opened a window into the competitive spirit that still defines elite hip-hop. Factz’s honesty underscored the seriousness with which these artists view lyrical combat, treating it not as spectacle but as cultural preservation. The idea of Mos Def, Black Thought, and King Los trading verses against Factz, Lupe, and Daylyt stirs visions of a dream battle capable of resetting standards for rap supremacy.

Whether the clash happens remains uncertain. But in just a few words, Mickey Factz reminded the rap world of the stakes: lyrical skill, authenticity, and the enduring hunger for competition at the highest level.
