by

Recap: From SEBL, dope 3-rounder here between Chef Trez and DG Da Paronta stays close to the end. The Chef dishing out his usual assortment of gritty punchlines, hitting freestyles/rebuttals and wicked gun bars/anem flips, whiel Paronta held his own with 3 rounds of hard-hitting punches, fiendish wordplay.similes, some solid rebuttals of his own and piercing name flips. And while both battlers came to win and had the crowd fully in tune, after the slightly more haymaker-lit and rebuttal crazy Trez edged round 1, a slightly more condensed, witty, and efficient with his bars DG would edge both of the latter rounds for the comeback win.

Verdict: DG Da Paronta (W) 2-1

Favorite line: DG Da Paronta – “Cuz both nigga’s wolf on the Net, won’t bump in public, I keep the same tune when you see me, I’m Uncle Rickus!”

Cortez defeats Ms. Ill

by

Recap: In this fiery 1-rounder from The Gates, Cortez utilizes a lyrical barrage of hard-hitting personals, gritty punchlines, damaging street darts and clever name flips to beat back the aggressive and often blistering, but not as steady or efficient rhymes from Ms. Ill.

Verdict: Cortez (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Cortez – “Ain’t shit that she could do with me, a shot to the face and botox, this bitch better keep it cute with me!”

Awthentic defeats Dexter

by

Recap: Dope, competitive 3-rounder between Awthentic and Dexter from IBattle features a gang of gritty punchlines, hitting name flips, wily personals, rich performance bars and righteous gun bars from both battlers. But while the battle stayed close, Awthentic’s nifty wordplay, brash street darts, etter consistency when it came to glistening bars and less pedestrian raps would allow the We Go Hard alum to take both of the opening rounds for the win, before a slightly more efficinet and jaymaker-lit Dexter took the 3rd to avoid the shutout.

Verdict: Awthentic (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Awthentic – “In the streets it was OCD ‘cuz all crime was organized!”

John John Da Don defeats A. Ward

by

Recap: Nothing like a 3-round battle between a couple of battlers who really dont like each other, as A. Ward and John John Da Don proved on their contentious buildup/promotion for Summer Madness XVI. Business disagreements aside, the battle itself turns out to be close one (which certainly curtailed all the ‘3-0’ chants for Ward online prior to URL releasing the battle on their app). A battle that never lacked for performance (a personal-lit and turned-up Ward tossing money into the crowd during round 1 being the biggest highlight), personal insult/disses and alleged bad business dealings from sides, at the end of the day the bout simply came down to who rapped better. And after getting edged to the more biting, consistent and efficient Ward in the opener, John John’s ability to flex his versatility when it came to gritty punchlines, some Christian-themed/pointed personals, righteous race angles, quality wordplay, fierce set-up/punchlines and fiery schemes vs. Ward’s more momentous, but too often repetitive and pedestrian rounds, would allow the ‘Other-da-Don’ to edge both of the latter rounds for the comeback win.

Verdict: John John Da Don (W) 2-1

Favorite line: John John Da Dom – “So let’s stop acting like y’all don’t know the champ in trouble, you gonna fuck around and get a round that you can’t rebuttal!”

40 B.A.R.R.S. defeats Blacclyriqq

by

Recap: From Aftermath Battle League, a close 1-rounder between 40 B.A.R.R.S. and rising battler Blacclyriqq thanks to the latter’s consistently lyrical heat, gritty performance-rich darts and fiery gun bars. But a prepared 40 is always a dangerous 40 and thanks in part to a couple of fly/witty personals to start her round to go along with some exquisite wordplay, a bunch of boastful barbs and stinging punchlines, it’s the slightly more efficient 40 who ends up taking this one in the end.

Verdict: 40 B.A.R.R.S. (W) 1-0

Favorite line: 40 B.A.R.R.S. – “If you wanna big name get in ya own bag, I don’t give a fuck if you gotta make the duffle, I’m just telling you knock it off, I just seeing Black market this fake Hustle!”

Swamp defeats J2

by

Recap: From URL’s Summer Madness XVI, in a 3-round battle between J2 and Swamp littered with plenty of personal disses on both sides, Swamp wins out by simply out-rapping his opponent. The South Carolina vet also unleashing a bunch of witty barbs, fiendish crowd-pleasing commentary/boasts and fly wordplay to go on top of a gang of gritty punchlines to easily take the deciding (had the more haymaker-lit Swamp taking round 1, while a much more efficient and punch-heavy J2 handily took the 2nd) 3rd for the win over J2, who while attempting to win the round with a boatload of personals, fell flat with one too many pedestrian lines and reaches.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Swamp – “I don’t wanna shit about me raising my kids until your faggot ass take care of them kids that’s in your throat!”

Prezzy defeats Qleen Paper

by

Recap: From GoGood Battle League, Prezzy (fka Presidential Dubz) and Qleen Paper go at it for 3 rounds andit’s the We Go Hard vet who comes out on top. Prezzy niftly utilizing a bunch of fly name flips, structural rhyme schemes and flippant punches/personals to take both of the opening rounds over a gritty, but mostly pedestrian Qleen for the win before the Detroit vet came back with a more hard-hitting 3rd to salvage things there.

Verdict: Prezzy (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Prezzy – “What happened?, drugs got him re-arrangung his crib, I never seen a kitchen be an attic!”

JC defeats EC Breeze

by

Recap: From Piranha Tank Battle League, the first battle one can recall ever seeing JC not dapping up his opponent while they rapped. But who knows what that’s about. Nonetheless, against EC Breeze in what was a competitive 1-rounder, JC’s combination of graphic/menacing set-up/punchlines, righteous darts, hitting personals, stinging wordplay and fiery gun bars hold up with just enough heat to beat back a pretty solid and gritty, but not quite as efficient performance from Breeze.

Verdict: JC (W) 1-0

Favorite line: JC – “You got the credibility of Meg the Stallion, that’s why the shots you never got always seemed a foot away!”

Qleen Paper defeats Chess

by

Recap: From Neighborhood Battle Rap League, guessing that this battle defintely didn’t turn out the way Chess thought it would. As after openly musing in the weeks leading up to this bout if the notoriously M.I.A. Qleen Paper would even show up for this 3-rounder, not only does Qleen show up, but he came fully prepared while Chess did the opposite. Qleen utilizing a gang of gritty punchlines, mocking/witty personals and rugged street darts/name flips to out-punch and out-flow (while a more haymaker-lit Chess held it together enough to edge round 2, a bunch of slip-ups that led to him cutting both rounds short, hurt him immensely in rounds 1 and 3) his opponent in the opening and deciding final round for the win.

Verdict: Qleen Paper (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Qleen Paper – “Shit get dangerous outside of this rapping shit, I really got yung’one’s that’s head-tapping shit, big blitz that the military ain’t matching bitch, and we don’t care what the Gun Title is, long as it’s accurate!”

Chess defeats IIVV

by

Recap: In this competitive 1-rounder from Gates of the Garden, despite an earnest, righteous at times and gritty effort from rising North Carolina battler IIVV, Chess pulls off a more efficiemt round by utilizing a variety of fire name flips, hard-hitting punchlines, fierce wordplay and fiery gun bars to gain the win.

Verdict: Chess (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Chess – “This nigga scaring me here, ‘cuz he look like he finna tell, thought his name was Ivy till I noticed how the shit was spelled, his name was I I V V, that’s 1 1 5 5…in other words this nigga 12!”

Chef Trez defeats Dame Stacks

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from The Stage, a pretty solid and gritty effort from Dame Stacks gets turned back Chef Trez’s plethora of sizzling gun bars, hard-hitting punches, stinging name flips, boastful barbs and to cap it all off, a handful of fire rebuttals/freestyles to score more haymakers and earn Trez the win.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Tell bro stop, any words we can box, I even fight wild, y’all seen the knockout, I’ve reached the point where ‘3 of them things’ is literally a lifestyle!”

Charlie Clips and Savage SpitFlamez [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: From Tank Battle League, a 1-rounder between Charlie Clips and Savage SpitFlamez sees the latter keep it competitive with a plethora of gritty personals amd punches that were more often haymaker-lit then not in what was a pretty efficient run. However, while hardly using any writtens and mostly depending on hos bag of noteworthy rebuttals and freestyles, a witty, unpredictable and often punch/scheme-heavy (“You give me one fucking wish, I’m spending mine on an AK, I’m a take that One Wish and make a hit with it like Ray J!”) Clips does just enough to meet his opponent’s mark and make this one debatable.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Savage SpitFlamez – “We both fat, black men in America Charlie, but the difference is you ain’t living the life, Sony, Adobe, different stereotypes!”

Aeon defeats Jay Love

by

Recap: A Takeova Battle League primetime tournament judged semi-final battle between Aeon and Jay Love ends up being a goodie, while staying close till the end. Jay Love with a bunch of bullish raps, graphic street bars and peircing punches/personals kept the heat on her opponent throughout. While Aeon, outside of a bout with a little fumblitis in round 1, stayed cold in the latter rounds with a gang of killer name flips, fiendish wordplay, rich metaphors/similes and gritty punchlines. Coming down to round 3 after Jay Love took the opener before the slightly more haymaker-lit took round 2 to even things up, a little more cleaner, slick-talking and overall efficient Aeon edges the final round for the win.

Verdict: Aeon (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Aeon – “I’ll fuck up love on purpose, I’m a toxic bitch!”

ll

Jakkboy Maine defeats Wordplay The Menace

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from OSBL, Wordplay The Menace gets off to a sizzling start with a bunch of hard-hitting personals and gritty punches. However, as his round went hit its final turn, so did did Wordplay’s efficiency, leaving room for Jakkboy Maine’s plethora of twisted/violent-prone wordplay, fiery gun bars/schemes, rich performance bars, savage punches and other wicked darts to score more haymakers in a more condensed round for the win.

Verdict: Jakkboy Maine (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Jakkboy Maine – “I’m a kill you then everybody behind you, I’m used to sliding, I’m [raises arm like a gun] raising in the sun ‘cuz I’m starting with a play then made a movie out him!”

Oppa defeats Mike P

by

Recap: From iBattleTV, Mike P with his vociferous raps, fiery schemes/name flips and ghastly/graphic punches and Oppa with his witty/mocking personals, flippant wordplay and gritty punchlines keep it close for 3 rounds, a slightly more efficient and haymaker-lit Oppa taking round 1 before Mike returned the favor in round 2. Tied going into the final round, things get more entertaining with the two literally doing impersonating on each other throughout their turns. However, while a pretty on-point and steady hittting Oppa completed the mission, halfway through what was looking like a competitive effort, Mike P suddenly chokes to give Oppa the win.

Verdict: Oppa (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Oppa – “We will never see you quit, you are shackled by your two wrists, that’s why Hadouken is the only thing with on your mood list!”

NXT defeats Loso

by

Recap: From iEvolveTV, considering the obvious draw here: Christian rapper (Loso) vs ‘Demon’ (NXT), defintely would’ve liked to see this one go 3 rounds. But even with only 1, we still got a goodie what with both battlers deceptively gearing some of their bars towards the ‘good vs. bad’ angle. But while Loso’s addition of boastful barbs, righteous darts and stinging punches/personals kept him competitive, NXT’s more clever use of wordplay, fly personals and gritty punches ultimately scores him more haymakers and earns hin the win.

Verdict: Loso (W) 1-0

Favorite line: NXT – “This a whole different dialogue, what you gonna to angle me to death?, you ever been surrounded by your enemies? they trying to angle you to death!”

Danny Myers defeats Murda

by

Recap: In this 3-rounder from OSBL, Danny Myers utilizes a variety of sizzling name flips, some witty personals, steely gun bars, rich storytelling and a boatload of gritty punches to handily take all 3 rounds and beat back Murda, who while showing signs here and there of the flexing wordplay and bullish stylings that made him noteworthy awhile back, still suffered here from the slip-ups, chokes and other unforced errors that contributed to his lack of stardom.

Verdict: Danny Myers (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Danny Myers – ‘You got thr reach so you stand farther, I get in close so I land harder, left hook, right hook, drop Murda…manskaughter!”

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!”

E-Hart defeats Big Ice

by

Recap: From URL, keeping that belt to ass for all 3 rounds, E-Hart delivers yet another masterpiece. The BX vet flexing on opponent Big Ice with a variety of sizzling name flips, hard-hitting/witty personals, fiery gun bars, gritty punchlines and piercing wordplay to score more haymakers in each round and earn the win over the Texas spitter, who while continuously getting off to hot starts with her bullish punches, stinging name flips and other lyrical heat, couldn’t keep it consistent with her pen or her flow, much less keep up with Hart’s more formidable comeuppance.

Verdict: E-Hart (W) 3-0

Favorite line: E-Hart – “They know that if I’m provoked then I’m lifting the toast, if it’s up then it’s going down Ice…and you on a slippery slope!”

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!”

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!”

Rum Nitty defeats Ulysses

by

Recap: From UEBL Limited, easy work for Rum Nitty who even in a 1-round video battle where he clearly wasn’t on his A-game, dishes out more than enough sizzling gun bars, gritty punchlines/similes and spiffy wordplay to beat back the mostly pedetrian raps from an earnest Ulysses.

Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Run Nitty – “He gonna lose, you better get help, ‘cuz you getting a little head of yourself like Beetlejiuce!”

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.

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

Verdict: Swamp (W) 2-1

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

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

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!”

However, despite a pretty sturdy and impressive round from Diante Ls, the slightly more consistently hitting, graphic/performance rich and haymaker-lit J Morr earns the win in the end.

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!”

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.

In the deciding 3rd however, what with Gwitty (who also had an abundance of solid name flips and schemes throughout the battle) spitting another formidable round of rugged raps vs what seemed to be Reed spitting a quick 2-minute verse from one of his mixtapes to get the battle over with, it’s Gwitty for the win.

Favorite line: Gwitty – “My nigga just came home from 18, he aged twice!”

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!”

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.

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!”

Verdict: JC (W) 2-1

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.

Verdict: TIE

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

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.
