Recap: A more versatile (and condensed) DNA, stunting throughout with ill freestyles (including a really fierce dart at none other than Kevin Durant while the NBA star stood on stage), rapidly fire punchlines, fly name flips, some stinging personals and festive gun bars manages to beat back a scheme-heavy, but elongated Chilla Jones in this 3-rounder from NOME 3. Jones, clearly committed to spouting scheme after scheme throughout this match, definitely had his moments, especially during a spitfire 2nd round that saw his wordplay and consistency elevate to its highest level. But thanks in part to a mostly one-themed showing as well as some long drawn-out dry spots in both the 1st and 3rd rounds, just couldn’t keep up with his opponent’s quotient for haymakers, much less DNA’s roundhouse scoring ability.
Verdict: DNA (W) 2-1
Favorite line: DNA – “Serius, Arsonal, Darrel Jones, I guess I gotta show up to Chilla with some real chrome, so when you hear it click, no, that’s not a dial tone, so when I raise the stock, who you gonna dial [Dow] Jones?!”
