We’re down to just four remaining rappers in our 2015 Hip-Hop March Madness tournament here at KarenCivil.com and it’s coming down to the wire.

In the Elite 8, we saw 4 great match ups between Drake vs. J. Cole; Kendrick Lamar vs. YG; Kanye West vs. his artist Big Sean; and Lil Wayne taking on the 7th seeded veteran Jeezy. The contest was close and each match up was decided by less than 10 votes, making for an exciting finish. But, just like the real March Madness tournament, there can only be one winner per match up, and we are excited to announce our remaining Final 4.

In a very close, and grueling competition, the 3 seed J. Cole ousted the 1 seed (and favorite to win the whole thing) Drake by a measly 5 votes. As for the other remaining match ups, the 1 seeds prevailed as Kendrick, Kayne and Lil Wayne all defeated their respective opponents to move in to the Final 4.

With that being said, we have officially opened up the voting polls for our Final 4 match up in our 2nd annual Hip-Hop March Madness tournament. Review the rules below once again and check back on Monday, March 31st to see what our championship match up will be!
