As the mercury drops across the country, it appears that so too does the mic.

RCMP units in different regions across Canada are entrenched in a rap battle of familiar rhymes that also pose as winter weather warnings. The most popular one so far comes from Kindersley, Sask.:

Shortly after Kindersley cops invoked Vanilla Ice’s classic “Ice Ice Baby,” Edmonton responded with another early ‘90s rap-themed song that’s sure to sound familiar, too:

If you guess it’s the theme to “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” you’d be right. The battles aren’t stopping there, either. Calgary’s RCMP released a winter warning based on Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Baby Got Back:”

These mean rhymes are spreading like wildfire across Canadian police services’ social media pages. The emcee directing all of this rap-battle action is CTV News’ Darrell Romuld. The man himself doesn’t rap, but he’s challenging everyone to get in on the action.
