'''Dame Dove Kathleen Hepburn''' ([[Wikipedia:Née|née]] '''Hemira'''; 10 January 1980 – 11 January 2025), known as '''Dove Dynamite''', was an [[Wikipedia:Egypt|Egyptian]]-[[Wikipedia:United Kingdom|British]] musician, entertainer, public speaker, painter, and humanitarian. Widely regarded the greatest [[Wikipedia:Rap battle|rap battle]] maker of all time, she became popular for her word-twisting wordplay, deep humour, and nostalgic allusions to shared culture. She created a distinctive style that combined [[Wikipedia:Nerdcore|nerdcore]] with commercial [[Wikipedia:Hip-hop|hip hop]], integrating [[Wikipedia:Video game|video game]]s, [[Wikipedia:World Wide Web|internet]] culture, and [[Wikipedia:Anime|anime]] references into competitive, energetic lyrics. Her own [[Wikipedia:Rap battle|rap battle]]s often involved combinations of retro and modern humour, making her stand out as a one-of-a-kind artist in the music world.<ref>Hepburn, Dove (2016-01-07).

From 2010 to 2024, Hepburn served as a video editor, beat producer, thumbnail designer, and as a writer for the renowned ''[[Epic Rap Battles of History]]'' series. Her output covered all 89 battles produced during the time, from ''[[List of Epic Rap Battles of History episodes|John Lennon vs Bill O'Reilly]]'' (2010) to ''[[List of Epic Rap Battles of History episodes|Donald Trump vs Kamala Harris]]'' (2024). On each assignment, she played a crucial role in refining the series' now-legendary structure, mixing fast rhymes with historically and culturally grounded allusions. Following her tenure with the show, Hepburn collaborated with [[Wikipedia:Los Angeles|Los Angeles]] rapper [[Cam Steady]] from 2020 to 2024, supplying writing, editing, and conceptual input for his rap cypher series and solo work. The work confirmed her reputation as a talented performer but also as an off-stage creative force whose influence could be seen in multiple facets of modern [[Wikipedia:Nerdcore|nerdcore]] output.<ref>Hepburn, Dove (2016-02-02).
