What started as a simple “Top 10 Lyrical Rappers” post by Rise Sacramento quickly turned into a moment of tension within the city’s hip-hop scene. When artist Boshy B publicly dismissed fellow Sacramento rapper Hayla V, labeling her music as “unserious,” the comment struck a nerve—not just with fans, but with peers who felt the line crossed wasn’t about competition anymore.
Enter Kiii, who responded not with a direct callout, but with bars. Dropping a no-name diss in the spirit of Kendrick Lamar’s “Peek-A-Boo” freestyle, Kiii addressed the situation head-on without mentioning Boshy B directly. He opened with a clear stance on respect and accountability:
“Fuck a list, these n***s disrespecting Black women / Type a man is u to really think that’s winning.”
The verse framed the issue as less about rankings and more about misdirected energy, ego, and inflated status.
Kiii continued by grounding his response in Sacramento’s larger momentum, positioning himself as focused on the work rather than the noise. Lines like “Sac City been on fire, and I’m block huntin / Smokin on ya Top 5, got a drop comin” made it clear the diss wasn’t just lyrical—it was strategic. The message: while others debated lists, he was moving forward.
Boshy B replied only through comments and Instagram stories, stopping short of releasing music. Then came Kiii’s final move. In collaboration with Rise Sacramento, he reposted the original Top 10 graphic—this time stripped of every name except his own—captioned simply, “Guess who.” No insults. No back-and-forth. Just a reset of the narrative.
In a city where most shots have been thrown in camaraderie, competition, and mutual support, this moment stood out. Rap was offered. A response wasn’t.
