Most battles from each of the earlier seasons give each rapper only two verses. to include the only battle released within a certain year. not to have any backup rappers. This season is tied with Season 4 for having the most female rappers, despite not having a female vs female battle. This season has the most US Presidents as rappers, with a total of four, being Thomas Jefferson, Donald Trump, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. However, six Presidents appeared altogether, with Barack Obama and George Washington making cameo appearances. If Ronald Reagan's appearance in Donald Trump vs Hillary Clinton had not been scrapped, the total number of Presidential rappers would be five. This is the last season to be produced by Maker Studios. References Seasons of Epic Rap Battles of History SEASON 1 SEASON 2 SEASON 3 SEASON 4 SEASON 5 SEASON 6 SEASON 7 BONUS
