Quban defeats O-Red

by

Recap: From Our Society Battle League, one would think that a longtime battle rap vet like O-Red would’ve been around the game too long to let the crowd (or in this case, seemingly a lone spectator) fluster him like that, but as seen here against Quban one would be wrong. The Jersey battler, after using some exquisite wordplay and a gang of stinging punches/gun bars to take round 1, getting frustrated and succumbing to unwanton crowd reactions in both the 2nd and 3rd rounds, cutting both rounds short and helping Quban (who by this time, upped his efficiency with a more wicked punch game in the latter two rounds) take both rounds for the comeback win.

Verdict: Quban (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Quban – “Let me say this quick, they only think I’m a bench-rider because I don’t play for shit!”

Chef Trez defeats Young L

by

Recap: From Public Influence Battle League, rising battler Young L made Chef Trez earn this one. The young whippersnapper using a plethora of gritty punchlines, stinging personals and some solid name flips to stay compettitve for 3 rounds with Trez. However, via a more versatile performance that ran the gamut from sizzling rebuttals, some killer wordplay/metaphors, boastful barbs, blazing gun bars and feelgood name flips, although edged by the slightly more efficient L in round 2, a more haymaker-lit Trez takes round 1 before hitting with just enough more punch-efficiency in the deciding 3rd for the win in what was a dope battle.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You fucking suck, but they acting like I’m not elite in this game, imagine saying Steph not good ’cause he known for 3 of them thangs!”

Rum Nitty defeats Mr. Biscuit

by

Recap: From Bod Bag Battles, Rum Nitty and Mr. Biscuit go at it for 3 rounds in a pretty punch-heavy effort from both battlers. But after the two split (had a slightly more efficient and punchline-lit Biscuit edging round 1 before Nitty returned the favor in round 2), it’d be Biscuit who’d out of steam, offering up a surprisingly pedestrian round 3, which helped the forever gun line rich and lyrically spazzing Nitty to take the round and the win.

Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Rum Nitty – “I keep something up my sleeve, like a hot pocket, and that’s the silver lining!”

Swamp defeats Jus Juice

by

Recap: From Hugg The Block, a dope 1-rounder here between Jus Juice and Swamp stays competitive and close till the very end. And while St. Louis vet Juice kept it aggressive and gritty throughout via a strong punch game and a generous amount of flexing trap talk, Swamp’s more versatile display of witty personals, a fly rebuttal, hitting name flips, rugged street darts, boastful barbs and hardbody punchlines would earn him the edge here in a turn that was slightly more efficient and haymaker-lit.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Swamp – “That old juice and the new juice it ain’t close enough, I think these people miss the old Jiuce…like Fruitopia!”

Quban defeats Steams

by

Recap: From The Trenches, Steams and Quban get straight to it and engage in a 3-round lyrical barfest that stayed gritty and competitive throughout. Add in a bunch of solid name flips/personals, rapid gun lines and boastful barbs to the mix from both battlers to keep the bout buzzing, nonetheless for all 3 rounds it’s the slightly more efficient and haymaker-lit Quban who earns the 30.

Verdict: Quban (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Quban – “With me I like to keep things simple, last time I had a smoking gun [is] the last time I saw steams!”

Tay Roc defeats K2

by

Recap: From Public Influence Battle League, having won a tournament for the right to battle Tay Roc, for 3 rounds up-n-coming battler K2 holds his own. The Cincinnati, Ohio rapper confidently utilizing a mostly hitting barrage of searing name flips, boastful barbs, spicy hometown references and flexing punches to stay competitive. However, once again showing that everyone from vets to rookies get taken seriously, Roc’s spirited boatload of sizzling gun bars, rugged metaphors/name flips, gritty punchlines, fly wordplay and mocking personals would do just enough to score more haymakers in rounds 1 and 2 for the win, before a slightly more formidable K2 edged the 3rd for the 21.

Verdict: Tay Roc (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Tay Roc – “50 rounds with the whole drum fit, KelTec load up quick, for this stoner kid this is what I showed up with, I’m a smoke him on this state property, which hand you roll up with?!”

Shotgun Suge defeats Newz

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from The Battle Academy, despite rapping only half the time of his opponent Newz, Shotgun Suge’s bullish punches/personals, solid street darts and flippant name flips prove to be more efficient than Newz hardbody, but mostly pedestrian raps, giving the more haymaker-lit Suge the win.

Verdict: Shotgun Suge (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Shotgun Suge – “This nigga been trappimg whole life and don’t drive, I ain’t never met a nigga with the bird connect and then gotta ask for a ride!”

Mallorei X defeats C3

by

Recap: From Our Society Battle League, a dope 1-rounder between battle vet C3 and rising newcomer Mallorei X. The former dishing out a spicy mix of gritty punches, sizzling wordplay/schemes, solid personals and flexing name flips/gun bars during her turn. While Mallorei X, aggressive from jump, matched her energy with a gang of righteous darts, rugged struggle bars, hard-hitting punchlines, searing name flips and piercing gun lines/street talk. A close one that would’ve been worth a 3-rounder, it’s the slightly more consistent and haymaker-lit Mallorei X who takes the win.

Verdict: Mallorei X (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Mallorei X – “See where you going it don’t matter what you wearing, ‘cuz it’s dark and hell is hot, and you won’t get to enjoy it, ‘cuz when you born you look like your parents and when you die you look like your choices!”

Charlie Clips defeats K. Walker

by

Recap: From The Battle Academy, deftly utilizing some fire schemes (including a dope one containing a bunch of Philly legends), a bunch of solid freestyles, witty personals, fly Philly-isms and handy punchlines/name flips, a slightly more efficient and haymaker-lit Charlie Clips manages to take both the 1st and 2nd rounds of this 3-rounder versus K. Walker. The much more steady hitting and gritty Philly battle vet coming back in the 3rd to avoid the shutout.

Verdict: Charlie Clips (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Charlie Clips – “You don’t say Young Boul, Young Jawn, dickhead or none of that, you don’t even speak Quilly, bald head on top of bald head, look like Wallo trying to reach Gilly!”

Hope Trilly defeats Mallorei X

by

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, a 3-round judged battle between Mallorei X and Hope Trilly goes the latter’s way as Hope’s variety of sturdy name flips, hard-hitting personals, fly wordplay, rigid gun bars and gritty punchlines, combined with her opponent’s often pedestrian raps and struggles with her flow in both of the early rounds allow Trilly to gain the win. And while Mallorei X’s formidable struggle bars and hard punches would earn her a debatable 3rd against Hope’s steady hitting darts, by then it’d be too late.

Verdict: Hope Trilly (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Hope Trilly – “I’m holding somethin’ shoulder-size, you’ll get blown aside, it’s like you met a killer on Facebook Marketplace…bitch you supposed [post to] to die!”

Snake Eyez defeats Danny Myers

by

Recap: From URL’s Nexus card, a matchup between Danny Myers and Snake Eyez that had plenty of promo beforehand fails to live up to the hype as Danny’s struggles with his flow throughout the 1st and 2nd rounds contribute an already formidable, gritty-punching, aggressive and name flip/personal-lit Snake to take both rounds for the win. Helped by Snake dishing a pretty pedestrian round, but also finally putting it all together and delivering a pretty punch-heavy and haymaker-lit 3rd, a way more challenging Danny is able to salvage the final round and avoid the shutout.

Verdict: Snake Eyez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Snake Eyez – “Pistol-whip a nigger with no facial hair and watch his side burn!”

Aeon Moore defeats Shooney Da Rapper

by

Recap: From Public Influence Battle League, a bullish-punchling and often gun bar/personal-lit Shooney Da Rapper versus the hard-hitting street tales, gritty punching, name flip-crazy and righteous Aeon Moore goes the distance in what was for the most part a 3-round competitive battle. However, after the two split (Aeon taking round 1 before Shooney would come back to edge the 2nd), yet another case of Shooney (who granted, did have some hard punches during the round) struggling to remember her raps to the point of even going into her phone a trio of times, would hinder any chance of a win, as the much cleaner and personal/haymaker-lit Aeon handily took the deciding 3rd for the win.

Verdict: Aeon Moore (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Aeon Moore – “Got ass and became more ass, but because y’all got surgery, you can’t afford to be sitting!”

T-Top defeats KD

by

Recap: From Hugg The Block Network, a pretty solid turn by KD filled with a variety of fiery punches gets upended TTop’s more consistently spicy punches, witty personals, righteous gun lines, steely narratives/wprd[;ay and boastful barbs in a 1-rounder that stayed close and had the crowd highly entertained.

Verdict: T-Top (W) 1-0

Favorite line: T-Top – “I’ll let a tool lift and dump once, I don’t care if you move furniture for a living nigga, I’ll ctach two men in one truck!”

J Morr defeats J2

by

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, not sure what the point of having a host is if he’s not going to even try to quell down all the interruptions and crowd noise that went down here while the (esp. J Morr) battle rappers are rapping. Nonetheless, although he had to stop and start his raps quite a few times throughout his round, J Morr still kept it cool with nary a slip-up. The VA battle vet unleashing a fiery get-back to opponent J2’s violence-tinger darts, solid name flips and gritty punches with a fly rebuttal plus a steady diet of hard-hitting/witty personals, fierce punchlines, some killer wordplay/metaphors, daunting street shit and stinging gun lines to score more haymakers and earn the win.

Verdict: J Morr (W) 1-0

Favorite line: J Morr – “Nigga we used to hype you, if being gay means being happy I’m suicidal!”

Swamp defeats Marv Won

by

Recap: From Public Influence Battle League, after getting soundly beat in round 1 to a way more punch-heavy and boastful Marv Won, a slightly more condensed and efficient Swamp utilizes a bunch of witty/mocking personals, gritty punchlines and sturdy name flips/gun bars to edge each of the final two rounds for the comeback win.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Swamp – “Your fat ass probably think that food for thought are what dreams are made of!”

by

Recap: From WestWorldBattleRap, a rematch from their battle on AHAT over a decade ago, outside of a close round 1 that he still edged, it’s all Dre Vishiss. The longtime West-coast battle rapper and recording artist bringing nothing but straight heat to Danny Myers via a gritty barrage of hard-hitting gun bars, brazen gang talk, righteous struggle bars and boastful/punches to get the 30. Dre’s gutsy effort coming against an opponent who after a gritty and competitive effort in the opening round, surprising choked almost midway through his second before (tho he did regain his flow and had some fire punches) gaining another case of fumble-itis in the final round that cost him there too.

Verdict: Dre Vishis (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Dre Vishis – “Nigga, you the suspect or the victim?, Me, I specialize in getting shit whacked, most my opps died the first, they ain’t get a rematch!”

Chef Trez defeats Cali Smoov

by

Recap: From Universal Bars Battle League, a 3-rounder between Chef Trez and Cali Smoov that was pretty much all Trez. The Chef scoring per usual with a handful of fly rebuttals, spicy name flips, some crazy wordplay, gritty punchlines, mocking personals and fiery gun bars. But also going so far as to aptly breakdown Cali’s tendency to cater to the crowd (even pointing out here how he got his cities mixed up bar-wise) and habit of spitting pedestrian bars–it’s all the same and although Smoov gave a solid effort overall, for 3 rounds his much more steady-hitting opponent simply overmatched the West-coast vet.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “What nigga, you want praise?, I was 11 when I first caught my first charge, 12 seen before I ever turned the age!”

Verdict: J Morr (W) 1-0

Favorite line: J Morr – “Nigga, this heat go off, I do my 1’s and 2’s by breaking three, four laws!”

by

Recap: Ave and Eazy The Block Captain unpack plenty of competitive heat in this 3-round clash from Chrome 23. The former Cave Gang member utilizing a plethora of stinging punchlines, greasy personals, solid name flips, nice Philly-esque hometown darts and boastful barbs to stay in the mix. While Eazy also used a barrage of searing name flips when he wasn’t scoring left and right (esp. in round) with a shitload of righteous personals, slamming trap talk, hanging metaphors, steely wordplay and gritty punches. A dope battle throughout, nonetheless it’s the more steadily hitting work from Eazy that allows him to score haymakers in each round for the shutout.

Verdict: Eazy The Block Captain (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Eazy The Block Captain – “You don’t listen, I invited you to the Trenches, even tho I think you ass, not even a good ass, we just deal with like Viixen!”

Hansel and Yung Griz [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: From West World Battle Rap, a dope and highly competitive 3-rounder between Hansel and wily vet Yung Griz comes down to the wire. Hansel, witty and ruthless with the personals, while also scoring with a bunch of boastful barbs, gritty punchlines/similes and feelgood name flips, came to win. While Griz flexed throughout with a gang of fiery gun bars, stunting personals, nifty name (“This is battle rap, nigga’s die in these rounds, let the adult survive, big Glock I palm it high, blood cover the floor, he is not alive, it look like Kool-Aid without the sugar when Water died!”) flips/wordplay, rich struggle bars and piercing punches. Despite an equally fire round 1, the slightly more haymaker-lit Hansel took round 1. Round 2 would see a slightly more punch-heavy and efficient Griz come back to tie things up heading into the 3rd. And while for a minute there, a witty at times, personal lit and steadily hitting would edge the 3rd for the win, Griz’s ability to turn up on his punchlines towards the end of his round would be just enough to make the final round a tie.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Hansel – “As a light-skin nigga, I done heard all of the stupid jokes, all of the goofy quotes, but I can admit, you wanna know when I do the light-skin squint the most?…when I’m looking through the scope!”

by

But one too many pedestrain bars from the ATL rapper combined with a surprising choke in the final round and an Ill Will on one throughout (including a superb and classic round 3) with a gang of witty personals, a handful of hitting rebuttals, hard-hitting punchlines, boastful barbs, stinging gay jokes, some killer wordplay and menacing violent-prone darts earns the Pontiac, MI vet a 30.

Verdict: Ill Will (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Ill Will – “Let’s switch it up, pistol tucked, me and you got similar features my nigga with a different cut, the irony, you coming out the closet and what my mama found in the closet…both got nigga’s touched!”

Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Rum Nitty – “We all know that Pete’s a [pizza] square like school lunch!”

Mackk flexing his animated punching power throughout what with a bunch of ill jokes/personals, rambunctious street darts and hard-hitting punchlines, while Red’s killer wordplay, brash punches, witty barbs/personals and fiery name flips/gun bars more than held their own. That said, it’s the more haymaker-lit Red who edges round 1 before a wily and punch-heavier Mackk came back to take round 2 and even things out. The deciding 3rd round was close and highly entertaining on both sides, but it’s the slightly more bar efficient, storyline/off-the-dome lit and versatile Red who edges it in the end for the win.

Verdict: O-Red (W) 2-1

Favorite line: O-Red – “You a sell-out, you and your little milk of Magnesia!”

T-Top and Jaz The Rapper [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: From Straight Drop Media, T-Top and Jaz the Rapper put forth a consistently fiery and competitive that stayed tight till the end. The Bear, a bit elongated (esp. in round 3) and dialing back on the trap talk, took it to Jaz with a bunch of fiery/witty (“You think you coudl replace her legacy?, that shit dead, even Monica Lewinsky wanted to be the 1st Lady, but was only known for big Head!”) personals, wicked set-up/punchlines, rugged storytelling and solid name flips.street darts while keeping it pretty steady throughout. On the other hand Jaz, via a gang of fierce gun bars, stinging/witty personals, some piercing similes, righteous heaters and gritty 4-bar set-ups/punchlines, kept it more shortened, but equally efficient. That said, an evenly potent round 1 between the battlers makes for a debatable there, before a slightly more haymaker-lit Top takes the 2nd round. With a chance to tie it up in the 3rd, thanks in part to her long-winded and repetitive opponent, but mostly due to saving her most concise, wordplay-lit and hardest-hitting turn for the final round, it’s Jaz who takes the 3rd to make this one a debatable.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Jaz The Rapper – “Nigga’s love talking I’m a girl dad…well push that female farther!”

Swamp and Midas [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: From Dark Horse Battle League, a Southern regional 3-round battle between Swamp (SC) and Midas (GA) while entertaining at times with its wily personals, grandstanding name flips, witty barbs, hometown comparisons, hard-hitting street shit and fiery gun bars, fails to reach its ceiling thanks to lack of preparation from both battlers–Swamp losing focus and having to cut short his oening round midway through, while Midas struggled with his flow and unleashed a couple of slip-ups in the 3rd before also cutting his round short. That said, with Midas (“Nigga, fuck a raccoon, this nigga deserve to get beat, but I could give you two black eyes, you know since you are what you eat!”) handily taking the opener and Swamp returning the favor in round 3, although Swamp rapped a lot shorter, an equally efficient and punch-heavy round 2 makes this battle a debatable.

J Morr defeats Theory Truth

by

Recap: From Unbias Battleground, after a hard-hitting and sizzling round 1 that saw him dominate punch-wise to easily win, J Morr’s sudden memory loss and struggles with his flow almost cost him here against Theory Truth. But after choking away round 2, thanks in part to the mostly pedestrian raps of Truth, but also the ability to get it back on that street shit and provide more than enough consistently gritty punchlines and boastful heat in the 3rd, it’s Morr who handily takes the deciding final round for the win.

Verdict: J Morr (W) 2-1

Favorite line: J Morr – “Nigga my grandma 95, but she still made it in time to find church, I’m 35, but the way I live she still praying I die first!”

by

Jakkboy Maine defeats Showoff

by

Recap: From Bar You To Death Battle League, a mid-battle kerfuffle and plenty of tension in the room between Showoff and Jakkboy Maine makes for a pretty entertaining bout for 3 rounds. Too bad, after edging round 1 Showoff couldn’t keep his end of the bargain. The RBE capo going mid (after a barrage of sizzling wordplay, righteous boasts and hitting punches in the opener) and settling for an aggressive, but mostly pedestrian display of punches in the latter two rounds, leaving Maine with a more condensed and stinging barrage of fiendish wordplay/punchlines, feelgood name flips, piercing.gun bars and greasy personals to take both rounds 2 and 3 for the comeback win.

Jaz The Rapper defeats A. Ward

by

Recap: From the King of the Dot stage in Canada, A. Ward and Jaz the Rapper deliver a close three-round bout packed with gritty punches, wily personals, and plenty of crowd-shaking haymakers. Starting in round 1, Ward came out aggressive with a bunch of well-polished setup/punchlines and sharp name flips that made for a hard round to beat. But flexing her mettle even while batting in Canada for the first time, despite a minor mid-round hiccup with her flow, Jaz’s punch-heavier run, efficiency, cleaner haymakers, and steady pressure proved decisive in the opener. In round two Ward’s heavy-handed rebuttals would swing the momentum back his way, add to that a plethora of witty jokes, performance-rich bars an stinging personals by the Christian battler would edge him the 2nd round over a strong, scheme & name flip-heavy, but slightly less formidable round by Jaz. Tied going into the 3rd, Ward’s final-round theme surrounding Jaz’s lack of support for women’s battle rap proved to be compelling and dope. However, countering her opponent’s run with a more versatile run of stinging personals aimed at Ward’s Christian image versus his uncouth lifetsyle choices and violent rap content to go along with a boatlaod of crazy punchlines/similes, rich storytelling and hardbody personals of her own during a more haymaker-lit round, it’s Jaz who takes it for a hard-fought 2-1 victory in what was an entertaining battle from start to finish.

Verdict: Jaz The Rapper (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jaz the Rapper – “You think ‘cuz you covered by the blood of Christ, that you can’t get touched?, nigga Tim Tebow did all that playing in the field…and he still got cut!”

Kyd Slade defeats Ave

by

Recap: A fire 3-rounder brought to you from Public Influence Battle League between Kyd Slade and Ave satyed close and competitive for all 3 rounds. Ave (who gets some extra credit here for not utilizing the resident ‘snitch’ angle we often see against Kyd), flexing and aggresive as usual with an elite punch game, syrupy name flips, solid wordplay and boastful barbs, kept it consistently gritty. While Slade in the face of his opponent’s heat came back with a boatload of sizzling trap talk, sturdy/violent-themed street lines, stinging punches of his own and hardbody gun bars/name flips. That said, it’s Slade who turned it up to remarkedly out-punch a pretty dope Ave in round 1, before a more haymaker-lit Ave tied things up in the 2nd.

However, even tho Chess did rap longer all battle, it’s quality over quantity over here. The Cakelyfe capo sticking it to the Gun Show with a steady barrage of killer (even when using Drugz’ gov’t name) name flips, fly wordplay, stifling punches/gun bars, feelgood personals, boastful bangers and even some witty barbs to flex his versatiity, efficiently score more haymakers in the 1st and 3rd rounds (call the 2nd debatable) and earn the win.

Verdict: Chess (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chess – “I’ll pull a .9 out and let nine out, they told me leave Drugz alone…[points hands up at Drugz head like a gun] I turned into Amy Winehouse!”
