Rum Nitty defeats Kitchen Qleen

by

Recap: From CMC Battle League, armed a gang of gritty street darts, boastful barbs and solid punches/name flips, Kitchen Qkeen manages to keep it close for 3 rounds here against Run Nitty. But after a debatable round 1, a slightly more condensed Nitty turns it up in both of the latter rounds while utilizing a boatload of fiery gun bars, spiffy wordplay, fire name flips of his own, flagrant personals and stinging set-up/punchlines to out-perform Qleen in the 2nd and 3rd rounds and gain the win.

Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Rum Nitty – “He selling y’all fake dreams, acting like he’s really on it, nigga’s bogus, I woulda robbed him if there was some chicken on ’em, I woulda stuffed Paper up at the front door…it’s an eviction notice!”

T-Top defeats Ghiftd

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from CNC Battle League T-Top adds a a trio of hard-hitting rebuttals to a fly mix of rich storytel;ing bars, poercing name flips, witty personals, hearty trap talk and gritty set-up/punchlines to handily beat back an earnest, a bit abstract and often griity, but mostly pedestrian Ghiftd.

Verdict: T-Top (W) 1-0

Favorite line: T-Top – “Your real name is Patrick Henry, that’s how I know everything in dude’s world lame, ‘cuz I was taught that you never trust a man who has two first name’s!”

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from HungerGamez/No Hook, Ave combines a bunch of witty bangers, slick set-up punchlines, hard-hitting personals/name flips and boastful barbs to score more haymakers and beat back a gritty, but not as pumch-heavy or consistently-hitting Cino Savvy.

Verdict: Ave (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Ave – “If I gotta switch from the shotty banging, revolver, your frame will get judged, I’m body-shaming!”

Fonz defeats Cortez

by

Recap: Fonz and Cortez go at it for 3 fiery rounds on URL’s Redemption 5 card and for the most part it’s a goodie. Tez dishing pkenty of heat what with a gang of blistering name flips, graphic mayhem, hard-hitting street darts and slinging gun bars, while the Landlord kept it banging with a boatload of gritty punchlines/wordplay, witty personals, righteous set-ups/burners and boastful barbs. Competitive throughout, a more steady hitting and cleaner flowing Fonz edges round 1. On the other hand, the latter two rounds would be split with the slightly more haymaker-lit and versatile Fonz edging round 2 for the win before Cortez returned the favor on the 3rd to avoid the shutout.

Verdict: Fonz (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Fonz – “Y’all saluting bro?, they said he don’t even use his native tomgie is that the truth or no?, a Spanish nigga who don’t speak Spanish nigga…El Stupido!”

Lady Caution defeats Danny Myers

by

Recap: From CMC Battle League, a shame considering what a fire round 1 he had here. But despite a hard-hitting and aggressive bag of punches in the opener, in both of the latter rounds Danny Myers fails to complete the mission. The Bar God fumbling with his flow and eventually choking away both the 2nd and 3rd rounds to a pretty solid overall, gritty punching, at times wordplay savvy and personal-lit Lady Caution, to lose the battle.

Verdict: Lady Caution (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Lady Caution – “Your man, this nigga battled Mike P and he disrespected your whole life Vicki, I’m nothing like your man, I’m a just dog him, I’m nothing like Mike, Vicki!”

Th3 Saga defeats J2

by

Recap: In a gutsy and often action-packed 3-rounder from Takeova Battle League, Th3 Saga and J2 go back and forth in a battle that featured a lot of gay jokes, religious jargon, spirited gun bars and gritty punchlines. However, with an added mix of clever raps, witty barbs, rich anecdotes, less filler, mocking personals and stinging name flips, it’s Th3 Saga who scores more haymakers in each round and takes the bout 3-0.

Verdict: Th3 Saga (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Th3 Saga – “So if you try a tool spray, he gonna die a cruel way, and I’ll stand over the body and ask him ‘Why are you gay?'”

JC defeats Julian Thomas

by

Recap: From CMC Battle League, a gritty and competitive 1-rounder between JC and Julian Thomas–the latter delivering a pretty solid effort what with a bunch of rugged street darts, fiery punches, a couple of crowd-pleasing hometown burners and witty personals. Too bad for Mr. Thomas however that KC was on one in this bout. The “Yak-town” vet scoring left and right throughout his turn with a gang of syrupy name flips, hard-hitting set-up/punchlines, fire similes and graphic mayhem in a steadier turn that also landed more haymakers to earn the win.

Verdict: JC (W) 1-0

Favorite line: JC – “The only reason I didn’t see your last fight is ‘cuz you in it now!”

Tay Roc defeats Piranha

by

Recap: From CMC Battle League, doing a Murda Mook and rapping straght for 20-plus minutes is always commendable and is certainly a flex when it comes to memory skills and endurance…but damn, really? Why not just make it a 3-rounder instead of a 1-rounder if as Piranha does here versus Tay Roc, rapping for like 25 minutes against an opponent who never does that type pf thing? Nonetheless, as Piranha displayed again here: put all the outside-the-ring BS aside, the Detroit battler can rap his ass off. And we see it again here what with a boatload of grimy punchlines, hard-hitting street darts, boastful barbs and a plethora of bold personals that pretty much covered Roc’s entire bag of past controversies. But as is the case like 90 percent of the time here: quality beats quantity. So while Piranha came through with an elongated turn that for the most part stayed lit with rampant haymakers here and there, it’s the slightly more consistetly hitting Roc, armed with a gang of fire metaphors, stinging name flips, flippant personals, head-splitting gun bars and greasy punches that takes it in the end.

Verdict: Tay Roc (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Tay Roc – “Potato on a barrel to Piranha make fish and clips!”

Charlie Clips defeats ATS Reck

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from CMC Battle League, despite an elongated turn Charlie Clips uses a variety of witty personals, wily freestyles/rebuttals, stinging name flips, solid gun bars, brash rants and hard-hitting punches to edge a pretty (tho pedestrian at times) solid effort from ATS Reck, who via a rugged bag of gritty set-up/punchlines, hard-hitting street talk and witty barbs kept it close.

Verdict: Charlie Clips (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Charlie Clips – “They went crazy over that 4 Brothers ice line, that shit was weak, ‘cuz the nigga gay so even if I lose they gonna leave saying the Victor Sweet!”

Chef Trez defeats Moon

by

Recap: From The Stage, a fire 1-rounder between Moon and Chef Trez that had both battlers on their respective A-games. Indeed, Moon shined throughout his round what with a bunch of thematic name flips, solid personals, righteous punches and hard-hitting street darts to make it close. However, armed with an amazing ‘4 of them things’ (rebuttals) to go along with a pletora of gritty punchlines, witty/mocking personals, heated gun bars, fly wordplay and wicked name flips of his own, it’s the Chef to manages to score a few more haymakers and earn the win.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “It’ll get lit for you fast, this guy doesn’t get love, don’t try and tell you a hustler, you got known for fighting against drugs [Drugz]!”

A. Ward defeats Jey The Nitewing

by

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, a rather tedious 3-rounder between A. Ward and Jey The Nitewing gets edge by Ward. The Four Horseman member taking advantage of an opponent while hitting at times, was too caught up in long screeds, mediocre pontications and filler to win anything outside of the 2nd round. While on the other hand Ward’s ever-strong rebuttal/rebuttal game, wily boasts/punchlines, solid wordplay/name flips, solid schemes and witty personals while pedestrian at times, still combined with enough effect to take the 1st and 3rd rounds for the win.

Verdict: A. Ward (W) 2-1

Favorite line: A. Ward – “I’m here to rap B, a mindreader, seeing red flags and doing numbers on squares, it’s Mindsweeper!”

Mackk Myron defeats Bankhead

by

Recap: An equally fiery and competitive 3-rounder between and Bankhead and Mackk Myron from Black Ice Kartel gets edged by the latter. Mackk overcoming Bankhead’s gritty punches, fat jokes and violence-prone darts with a wicked variety of witty barbs, rambunctious flow pockets, hard-hitting personals, rugged boasts and piercing punches/name flips to score more haymakers and take rounds 1 and 2 for the win, before a slightly more punch-heavy and resilient Bankhead edged the 3rd to avoid the shutout.

Verdict: Mackk Myron (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Mackk Myron – “I know it hurt bro, you up here getting ridiculed, this gonna follow you forever…like shitting on yourself in middle school!”

Arsonal defeats Quest Mcody

by

Recap: Yeah, Arsonal’s unforced errors and a more hard-hitting Quest Mcody led to the Rebel practically giving away that final round. But nonetheless Ars got the verdict right at the end as despite his opponent displaying a more performance-rich style than we usually see to go along with a barrage of rugged rhymes, in both of the opening rounds of this 3-rounder from Takeova Battle League, the Rebel’s violent-proned street darts, witty barbs, gritty punches and disrespectful/boastful zingers were enough to overcome Quest’s less consistent firepower, score more haymakers, take rounds 1 and 2 and gain the win.

Verdict: Arsonal (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Arsonal – “This torture could’ve been avoided, you shoulda been aborted, here you would’ve been exorted, this the Temu Ars verse when a nigga could afford it!”

First Lady Flamez and Midas [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: From Dark Horse Battle League, relative newcomer Midas and 1st Lady Flamez go at it from 3 rounds in a battle that despite Flamez keeping her turns pretty short (at about 2 minutes each) throughout, still stayed close. Midas, consistently showing that he can hang with a seasoned vet, lit up the scoreboard with a variety of fiery schemes, some fire similes, righteous gun bars, mayhem-dipped punches and stinging boasts/personals. On the other hand, tho she had a couple of slight hiccups, Flamez kept it together, short and to the point, battling back with a barrage of flexing name flips, clever (“Black mom, I know bad boys only talk till they properly beat, so this street cat will always be pure pussy to me!”) punchlines, witty barbs and gritty darts/gun bars over the course of 3 rounds. That said, it’s a more haymaker-lit Midas who takes round 1, before a 2nd round equal on overall efficiency scores a debatable there. Still condensed, but turned up nonetheless, a more steady-punching Flamez edges the 3rd to make this one a tie.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Midas – “You come trying to be Captain Save-a-Hoe, bullets breeze by you, you get to kiss your own Daddy goodbye bitch…Eve’s Bayou!”

O-Red defeats Sheed Happens

by

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, nice, animated and often-gritty effort from Sheed Happens. But in this 3-rounder agaiust O-Red, the Jersey vet’s more steady usage of hard-hitting set-up/punchlines, flexing metaphors/wordplay, fiery Sheed Happens colloquialisms, grimy boasts/gun bars and rugged name flips prove to be too much and gives Red a well-earned 30.

Verdict: O-Red (W) 3-0

Favorite line: O-Red – “Think I’m bluffing, toy come with a button…try me nigga!”

Anderson Burrus defeats Arsonal

by

Recap: In this 3-rounder from URL, a competitive Arsonal brings the disrespect back and seeing as he was facing a white boy in Anderson Burrus…a bunch of racist quotables too to go along with a pretty solid bunch of gritty punchlines, jokey jokes and biastful barbs. But unfazed by his opponent’s rancor, part-time cameraman Burrus flexes throughout the biut, while utlizing a steady barrage of witty/mocking personals, wily Caucausian colloquialisms, hard-hitting punches, witty darts and even some highly disrespectful burners of his own to edge each round and earn the 30.

Verdict: Anderson Burrus (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Anderson Burrus – “It’s a struggle meal Ars, one Cracker and a Grape!”

Chef Trez defeats Ooops

by

Recap: Haven’t seen Ooops battle in a while, but here on Barz Ova Bullshhh, the veteran St. Louis battler brings it for 3 rounds against Chef Trez. And it’s a goodie as Ooops’ trademark of righteous darts, hard-hitting storytelling/personals and piercing punches/name flips make their mark throughout the battle. But outside of round 2, where he got edged by his opponent’s more consistent firepower, in the end Trez proved to be too much. The ATL vet scoring left and right in rounds 1 and 3 with a flexing gang of fiery gun bars, stifling wordplay, gritty punchlines, boasful barbs, solid rebuttals and stinging name flips to score haymakers in each turn and gain the win.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Bro stop, I really set up shop and make the block hotter, if you wasn’t ready to risk ya life do not bother, we had junkies turning into rockweilers, it’s crazy how dog food could make fiends act like they got a shock collar!”

Chef Trez defeats Real Deal

by

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, against a turned-up Real Deal, in his home state of Pennsylvania, Chef Trez isn’t fazed. The ATL vet steady dishing a gang of stinging name flips, gritty punchlines, some fire rebuttals (esp. in round 2), educated metaphors, piercing gun bars and wily personals with steady ease to beat back RD, who outside of a punch-heavy and competitine opening round, had to cut short his second round due to a choke and despite some righteous/hitting bars in the 3rd, just couldn’t match his opponent’s more consistent firepower in the final round.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “That’s why I wanna put a gun to y’all, go to an all Teacher’s meeting with a silencer and turn that room ito a Study hall!”

Fonz defeats A. Ward

by

Recap: From Smack’s Volume 12 card, now a regular on URL, A. Ward goes toe to toe with Fonz in a 3-rounder that stayed close throughout. Ward, with a bunch of spicy rebuttals, some feelgood wordplay, a gang of righteous heaters, witty barbs/personals and spirited punches/metaphors, showed the Landlord that he could compete on the big stage. On the other Fonz with his head-ringing gun bars, bullish boasts, hard-hitting often-Christian-themed punches, solid name flips and wily personals kept it versatile and outside of a 2nd round that saw him struggle with his flow to the point of almost choking, stayed engaged throughout the match. Split (the slightly more haymaker-lit Fonz taking round 1, before a steadier and punch-crazy took round 2 to tie things up) going into the 3rd, despite a strong turn by Ward, a little too much filler from the Four Horsemen to ho along with a more condensed and punch/personal-spazzing Fonz, gives the Landlord the round and the win.

Verdict: Fonz (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Fonz – “I mean, who the fuck this nigga really gonna call if shit go the wrong way?, Botch show up with his Latina Christian brother Loso, Loso I don’t want y’all to think that I’m racist or take this the wrong way, but I dont give give a fuck if you showed up with Juan Carlos Bendoya, ’cause to me all of you nigga’s Jose!”

O-Red defeats Jakkboy Maine

by

Recap: From URL’s Smack Volume 12 card, a fire 3-rounder between Jakkboy Maine and O-Red. The latter delivering three action-packed rounds of rich, performance bars, fiery wordplay, nifty sound effects, gritty punchlines/anecdotes, mocking personals and well-oiled gun bars to keep him close the entire bout. While O-Red took right to Jakk with a gang of spirited gun bars of his own to go along with a plethora of boastful barbs, piercing 4-bar set-up/punchlines, hard-hitting name flips, graphic mayhem and a couple of dope rebuttals. A rambunctious on both sides and haymaker-lit round 1 would get edged by Red’s off-the-dome burners, but a slightly more consistent, punch-heavy and turned-up would edge round 2 to even things up going into the 3rd. And while the deciding 3rd round was another bar-fest from both battlers, Red’s ability to turn up on the spicy/witty personals, a killer punch game, a bunch of stinging similes and some righteous heat just to flex his vet status would produce a classic and more imporantly be the difference in the Jersey linchpin taking the round and the battle.

Verdict: O-Red (W) 2-1

Favorite line: O-Red – “Fuck a Jakk, he going straight to the gateway, ‘Cuz you really a fake blood in my eyes, ummm Ray-J!”

Klutz defeats Los Premee

by

Recap; From Public Influence Battle League, a 3-round uetter barfest between Klutz and Los Premee. The latter scoring left and right with a boatload of fiery gun bars, hard-hitting punchlines, ill street darts, wily personals and a spicy rebuttal game. While Klutz flexed his versatility and transitional potency throughout, confidently spitting out a gang of stinging personals, righteous heaters, fly storytelling bars, grandiose set-up/punches, hitting similes, boastful barbs and sporty wordplay just to have with it. But while Los’ often flippant punch game kept it close, in the end a performance-rich Klutz would prove to be too much as a consistently sturdy (classic), slightly more condensed and haymaker-lit round 1 would edge him the opener, before the Arkansas battler would deliver more of the same in both of the latter rounds for the 30.

Verdict: Klutz (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Klutz – “The way I lay a writter, timeless, my shit conveying wisdom, my words make Proverbs look like plagiarisn!”

While K1ng (minus a couple of near slip-ups during the battle) displayed his mettle with plenty of witty personals, a couple of solid rebuttals and stinging punches/name flips of his own. However, after an equally sharp, but slightly more condensed and haymaker-lit K1ng edged round 1, Ave would return the favor in round 2 to even things up going into round 3. The final round. tho competitive and laden with plenty of spicy punches on both sides, would be taken by the more profilic Ave to secure the win.

Verdict: Ave (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Ave – “Fall back with this posing, shorty just out here lying, about he grinding, look like he drink water from out the iron!”

Hope Trilly defeats Zan

by

Recap: From WTBL, a fire 3-rounder between Hope Trilly and Zan that was littered with gritty punchlines, hard-hitting name flips, EazyTBC overtures, fiery gun bars and stinging personals from both sides. Clsoe throught with a dialed-up crowd that was heavy into it, outside of a devatabel 2nd round, it’s a slightly more haymaker-lit and versatile (esp. with her added mix of righteous darts and similes) Hoep Trilly who edges round 1 and 3 for the win.

Verdict: Hope Trilly (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Hope Trilly – “We can get it crackin’, I’m talking pistols clapping, ny nigger’s will pop Zan…and then forget what happened!”

by

Recap: From the Fight Back Arena, a couple of performance-heavy vets, Mo Mula and Jakkboy Maine, go at for 3 rounds and it’s a goodie that stayed close throughout. But while Mula’s witty punches/personals, gritty darts, solid rebuttals/name flips and Bronx-driven street bars kept him competitive, Jakk’s slightly more consistent Satanic verses, graphic mayhem, NY disses, piercing wordplay/set-up punchlines and more hitting name flips allowed him to edge rounds 1 and 2 for win before a more haymaker-landing Mula took the 3rd to avoid the shutout.

Verdict: Jakkboy Maine (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jakkboy Maine – “Nigga you gonna die, but if you don’t want to muthafucka then I can school ya, I’m not a tutor, but I done did everything by the book to avoid computers!”

Rosenberg Raw defeats Chilla Jones

by

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, a fire and competitive 3-rounder between Chilla Jones and Rosenberg Raw that had an ill backstory what with Raw having worked for Chilla’s league as a commentator beforehand. That said, Chilla with the wily punches, spicy name flips, hitting personals and lofty gun bars and Raw with his signature bullish punch game, daunting street darts, witty barbs/personals and fly name flips/similes made this battle (which also had 1 or 2 solid rebuttals from each battler) close throughout. However, after a debatable and equally potent round 1, despite two pretty solid turns by Chilla, it’s the slightly more haymaker-lit Raw who edges both of the latter rounds for the win.

Verdict: Rosenberg Raw (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Rosenberg Raw – “My flow sick, so sick, I make ya baby mom’s suck my dick till her knees feel like Embiid’s after a road trip!”

Th3 Saga defeats Ave

by

Recap: Ave and Th3 Saga, a couple of longtime battle vets and URL Proving Grounds alums, meet up for the first time for 3 rounds on Taveova Battle League. Saga, scoring throughout the bout with a bunch of fire name flips, some righteous personals, graphic/hard-hitting/scripture-based punches and solid gun bars more than held his own. On the other hand, while Ave’s noted punching power and braggadocious rhymes were often there, surprisingly after a debatable round 1, the former Cave Gang member would struggle mightily with his flow in both the 2nd and 3rd rounds, leaving an opening for the more consistently and condensed Saga with enough room to take both of the latter rounds for the win.

Verdict: Th3 Saga (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Th3 Saga – “Why would you even cap for?, your only mission was to invest some green and protect the team, but Ave put himself over the city like Inception scene!”

Chef Trez defeats Kitchen Qleen

by

Recap: From CMC Battle League, in a 3-round battle that begs for plenty of spiffy wordplay what with Kitchen Qleen and Chef Trez facing each other, despite a gritty, competitive and sometimes witty effort from Qleen, the Chef’s richer palette of wily rebuttals (including 4 in round 2), consistently hard-hitting set-up/punchlines, fiery gun bars, piercing name flips and earnest street-themed bars are enough to take all 3 rounds for the win.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Nigga get back, you not taking my health, it’s not a game just real life where you can spend a day up in hell, shotty tucked in the pants leg pull a gauge from the belt, I got 112 for QP, I weighed it myself!”

Eazy The Block Captain defeats Nu Jerzey Twork (Rematch)

by

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, in this rematch from their 1st battle on Gates of the Garden 7 years ago (which we had Twork winning) Eazy The Block Captain gets some payback. The PA battle vet utilizing a gang of righteous personals, gritty trap talk, rich storytelling, glistening gun bars and hard-hitting/witty punches to earn the 3-0 over a Nu Jerzey Twork, who while able to compete with a bunch of rambunctious darts in both of the opening rounds, succumbed to an unsteady flow and a more haymaker-lit opponent before (already down 0-2) forgetting his bars and stopping short in the 3rd round to hand Eazy the shutout.

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

Favorite line: Eazy The Block Captain – “Fuck a bigger .9, when I’m at the combine, you know how fast I’ll run to that .40!”

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from CMC Battle League, P.A,Y,N.E. utilizes a lot of aggressive and greasy punches to go along with some hard-hitting personals to keep it competitive. But with a steady, confident and grandiose turn that featured a plethora of stinging name flips, righteous darts, searing set-up/punchlines and death-gripping/clever wordplay, it’s the way more haymaker-lit JC who earns the win.

Verdict: JC (W) 1-0

Favorite line: JC – “I won’t be descriptive, just know that this prediction couldn’t have been wrote in The Simpspns!”

Rum Nitty defeats King Krash

by

Recap: From the Smoke Room Battle League, a dope 3-rounder between a versatile, street-themed, boastful and gritty King Krash and punchline/gun bar fiend Run Nitty goes to the 3rd round after the two (a slightly more haymaker-lit Nitty taking round 1 before Krash edged the 2nd) split the opening rounds. But despite another hard-hitting and competitive round by Krash that had the crowd buzzing, an over-the-top Nitty spazzed out with a gang of stinging back-to-back punches, stifling wordplay and piercing/witty personals to take the final round for the win.

Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Rum Nitty – “You better watch who ya playing with…split screen!”

Jaz The Rapper defeats Reed Dollaz

by

Recap: From King of the Dot, in battle over the beats that ended up going 5 rounds, Jaz The Rapper’s steadier punch game, boastful barbs, hard-hitting Philly-isms and more intricate darts over the course of the bout are enough to turn back a gritty, but overall less formidable fistful of rounds from Reed Dollaz, the Jaz edging all 3 of the final rounds after the two split the first two.

Verdict: Jaz The Rapper (W) 4-1

Favorite line: Jaz The Rapper – “I’m about to go crazy on this dickhead, I’m a throat goat!”

Cortez defeats Reed Dollaz

by

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, against a boastful and gritty but mostly pedestrian Reed Dollaz, Cortez gamely mixes a gang of hard street themes, versatile name flips, stinging punchlines, righteous personals (esp. in the final round) and fiery gun bars to land more haymakers and handily take (call round 2 debatable) rounds 1 and 3 of this fierce 3-rounder for the win.

Verdict: Cortez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Cortez – “Dollaz ain’t SNAP on no card, it’s a government shutdown!”

Ms. Hustle and Lu Castro [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: In this 3-rounder from URL’s Outside 5 card, after getting out-punched in round 1 thanks in part to the performative and bullish (“Brand new gun, I ain’t even get to clicking, fresh out the box like Altoids, mint condition!”) punching, personal crazy and gun bar-lit stylings of Ms. Hustle, Lu Castro mounts a comeback that ends making this one a debatable. The former Goonie utilizing his wit to score a little more in the latter two rounds to go along with a bunch of seedy set-up/punchlines, performance-rich bars and stifling personals to edge round 2, before both battlers came equally hard-hitting and quantitative in Round 3, making the final round a tie and the bout a debatable.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Lu Castro – “You’re not manly or anything, you’re just a handsome woman!”

Charlie Clips defeats 45th Fokus

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from Black Diamond Battle League, 45th Fokus’ mostly abstract but brash raps make or a pretty solid effort (esp. during the latter half of his round), but Charlie Clips boatload of solid name flips, biting schemes/gun bars, witty barbs and flexing set-up/punchlines work together with steady enough effect to earn the win.

Verdict: Charlie Clips (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Charlie Clips – “You named yourself 45th and your girl out here sucking dick, that should be more your concern, I’m a send her back to 45 with her tongue out, shit sound like Michael Jordan’s return!”

Shooney Da Rapper defeats Pristavia

by

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, a competitive 3-rounder between (in what’s supposed to be her final battle before retiring) Pristavia and Shooney da Rapper that featured little (if any) name flips from Pristavia and a strong rebuttal game from Shooney. Close throughout with the Gun Titles vixen weaving religious themes with rich set-up/punchlines, some nasty personals, fierce schemes and piercing gun bars/similes. Shooney on the other hand came with a brash bag of tricks that included some mocking personals, mean punches and scathing disses/screeds that were mixed with violent darts and boastful barbs. A tight round 1 was edged by the slightly more haymaker-lit Pristavia. But despite another two pretty solid rounds by her opponent, it’s the more witty, versatile and slightly more steady hitting Shooney who edges rounds 2 and 3 for the comeback win.

Verdict: Shooney Da Rapper (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Shooney Da Rapper – “She be going door to door on the church’s mission, I be in the hood, biscuit and drum, look like Church’s Chicken!”

Danny Myers defeats Wise

by

Recap: From Gates of the Garden, prolific, at times righteous, gritty and often-punch heavy turn by Wise in this close 1-rounder. But it’s a slightly more condensed, more personal-lit, boastful, gun bar crazy and set-up/punchline fiery Danny Myers who edges this one in the end.

Verdict: Danny Myers (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Danny Myers – “I’m supposed to battle Mook, Lux, iron Solomon, but nigga’s with those type of bars never show up, so it’s GTA, beating the shit outta random pedestrians hoping my star level go up!”

Kyd Slade defeats Prep

by

Recap: In this mostly competitive 1-rounder from Black Diamond Battle League, Prep takes advantage of his opponent Kyd Slade’s past legal drama to the tune of a boatload of hitting personals that kept him in the bout. But ever eccentric and potent when it comes hard street themes, graphic punchlines, rich similes/gun bars and jaunty personals, a more steady-hitting Slade scores more haymakers to get the win.

Verdict: Kyd Slade (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Kyd Slade – “But enough about what you’ve done, I just copped somethin’ Russian with a drum, and fuck that Gorilla, my man just faced a 100 years and won!”

Loso defeats Serius Jones

by

Recap: From End Game/My Battle Factz, still dipped in outdated flow patterns, elongated and mostly pedestrian rounds and a stubborn refusal to make more usage of his strongest attribute (humor), what else can be said about Serius Jones other than his ability to still give you 3 quality rounds without choking? And with his opponent also stuck in repetitive themes, outside of a somewhat close round 2, it’s an easy one for Loso.

JC defeats Dre Dennis

by

Recap: Dre Dennis versus JC for a 1-rounder on Gates of the Garden gets flipped on its head a little bit thanks to a competitive Dre dishing a gang of wily personals to go along with his usual assortment of spastic gun bars and solid name flips/punches. But with his elongated opponent bringing not a lot that we haven’t seen before when it comes to personal disses and other what have you, JC’s more condensed and steady round of clever wordplay, flippant similes, rich storytelling, some witty barbs here and there and gritty/boastful punchlines scores more haymakers and ends up winning out.

Verdict: JC (W) 1-0

Favorite line: JC – “War with me is not the best route, but it’s set now, I don’t finish without a body, the whole experience is out of body, you might wanna see yourself out!”

Yunus defeats Mike P

by

Recap: From URL’s ‘Outside 5’ card, a dope 3-rounder between Yunus and Mike P stays competitive for 3 rounds with the latter adding some righteous darts to an already sizzling plate of wily name flips, hitting personals and frenzied punches. Yunus, on the other hand, came prepared like well-oiled machine what with a gang of mocking personals, rigid set-up/punchlines, flexing wordplay, scintillating pop references and daunting screeds. Close for the (outside of the way more haymaker-lit Yunus taking round 1, despite a pretty solid turn by Mike) most part, an emboldened and more steady punching Mike would edge round 2 to tie things up before the slightly more potent Yunus would return the favor in the 3rd for the win.

Verdict: Yunus (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Yunus – “How am I not the best artist when I draw out the best version of who across from me?!”

Arsonal defeats Viixen The Assassin

by

Recap: From Gates of the Garden, against a Viixen The Assassin who was consistently competitive while unabashed in her sexual exploits, dishing a gang of fiery pinches and well-schooled in pointed personals and gun bars, after an overall solid and aggressive, but sometimes flow-challenged and less syrupy round 1 that cost him the opener, Arsonal gets it together. Da Rebel overcoming his opponent’s steady heat with a plethora of hard-hitting punchlines, boastful barbs, scathing personals/racial bangers and witty darts in a slightly more condensed display to edge rounds 2 and 3 for the comeback win.

But Chef Trez being Chef Trez, was ever ready to cook. And that he did via gang of more consistently spicy gun bars, fierce hometown flips, some greasy rebuttals, searing wordplay and a plethora of stinging set-up/punchlines over the course of 3 rounds to score more haymakers in each and earn the win.

Th3 Saga defeats Danny Myers

by

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, a pretty competitive and gritty 3-rounder between Danny Myers and Th3 Saga, The former unleashing plenty of mayhem with his bars when he wasn’t spitting a bunch of religious-tinged punches, solid (enough off-the-dome heat from Danny to edge a close round 2) rebuttals and wily darts. While Saga backed his moxie with a gang of fly punchlines, hard-hitting personals, righteous screeds and well-oiled similes. A close battle throughout, nonetheless it’s the slightly more consistent and haymaker-lit 4 Horseman who edges rounds 1 and 3 for the win.

T-Rex defeats Snake Eyez

by

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, Harlem vs Harlem, Dot Mobb vs former Dot Mobb, Snake Eyez vs T-Rex in a very fiery, personal and competitive 3-rounder. And while Snake delivered his usual m.o. of hard, aggressive punches, grimy street themes and festive personals, a motivated (and performative) Rex came back with 3 rounds of in-ya-face boasts, witty barbs, stinging name flips/personals and piercing trap talk. That said, a haymaker-lit-on-both-sides round 1 make for a debatable turn. However, while both battlers kept it gully in the latter two rounds, it’s the less filler-prone, punch-heavy, versatile and slightly more condensed Rex who edged them both for the win.

Verdict: T-Rex (W) 2-1

Favorite line: T-Rex – “My guys keep a Glock 9 and an extra one just in case I tell then that I forgot mine!”

by

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, T-Rex with his usual assortment of hard street rhymes, frenzied drug tales and wily punches versus Ave and his robust punch game, boastful barbs and strident street themes makes for a competitive battle…for one round anyway. But after a debatable round 1, it’s pretty much all Ave at that point. The Norfolk, VA, battler continuously scoring with an aggressive, righteous at times, personal-heavy and haymaker-lit 2nd and 3rd rounds to easily overcome a way more pedestrian Rex to take each of the final rounds for the win.

Verdict: Ave (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Ave – “‘Cuz I ain’t like them other nigga’s Rex, let’s just be clear, whoever you dying to be I can help you get there!”

Chef Trez defeats Baby James

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from League of Championship Kulture, Memphis battler Baby James puts on a pretty solid show what with plenty of random violence backed by a gang of fiery gun bars. However, while his confidence can be admired, electing to go first against the likes of Chef Trez would prove to be a serious tactical mistake by Mr. James. Trez utilizing a trio of searing rebuttals to go along with a series of consistently gritty punchlines, boastful barbs, hitting schemes, fire gun bars of his own and piercing name flips to score haymakers and earn the win.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0

Jaz The Rapper defeats Arsonal

by

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, a 3-rounder between Jaz The Rapper and Arsonal. The two-time WOTY champ taking on Big Jersey while continuing to check off a long list of top tier male battle rappers that apparently ends with Murda Mook (who she took a shot at towards the end of her 3rd round). As for the battle itself? Altogether a goodie and definitely competitive throughout what with da Rebel dismissing any doubt of taking his opp seriously via an aggressive and often blistering package of scathing disses/personals, boastful barbs, solid name flips and gritty punchlines. While Jaz brought the heat with a gang of hard-hitting personals of her own, rampant violence, flippant gun bars, piercing set-up/punchlines and rigid storytelling that often landed. That said, a way more punch-heavy Arsonal would handily take round 1 before (thanks in part to a bunch of filler from Ars) the more condensed and steadily hitting Jaz took round 2 to tie things up heading into the 3rd. The deciding final round (tho they both had minor slip-ups) gets edged hereby Jaz, who again displayed more consistent flair along with enough hitting punches to earn the win.

Verdict: Jaz The Rapper (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jaz The Rapper – “You keep a purple flag in your pants, but you never seen Magenta in this pocket!”

Klutz defeats Baby James

Verdict: Klutz (W) 3-0

Viixen The Assassin defeats Danny Myers

by

Recap: From Kingpen Battles, against a rebuttal-lit (enough off-the-dome tricks to make the 2nd round debatable), but mostly erratic Danny Myers, a versatile and more consistently hitting Viixen The Assassin utilizes a bunch of fiery gun bars, solid schemes/wordplay and stinging/witty personals to score more haymakers and handily take rounds 1 and 3 for the win.

Verdict: Viixen The Assassin (W) 2-1

The NY battler/part-time “scammer” firing off a plethora of aggressively piercing punchlines, solid name flips, fly similes and fiery gun bars to score more haymakers in both of the opening rounds (while also taking advantage of a punch-lit throughout, but a bit sluggish at the start of his opening rounds Marqo Mazii) to earn the win.
