Recap. A couple of Harlem vets, Swave Sevah and Head Ice, go at it on the main stage and the angles are pretty noticeable here with Swave hitting with hardbody punches when he wasn’t getting metaphorical with pronounced schemes/break-downs of his opponent’s moniker. While Ice gets busy with righteous punchlines, able-bodied personals and in taking the 1st round, witty storytelling bars that were highlighted by Ice’s appreciation of Swave’s girl hitting him off with ‘home fries’ after a great night of passion. Judging from Swave’s inability to keep a straight face thru Ice’s more comedic barbs, it’s all in good fun tho, even after Swave easily takes the 3rd round with a load of stinging (“Your battles are like the rumors of you knocking Rex out, ‘cuz if it has an impact, it’s not from one of your punches!”) personals and other lyrical shiners. Thus, this one comes down to the 2nd, a solid turn from both battlers, but with Ice dishing (“You ain’t built for the streets say the punches that your jaw take, back to karate-chopping board games!”) straight heat more consistently with a little less filler, it ends up being a close win for Mr. I Control Everything.
Verdict: Head Ice (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Head Ice – “You probably feeling like we supposed to be friends, taking off ya glasses like we supposed to be twins!”
