Recap: Using infinite wordplay and backing up his mettle with a host of nice 4-bar set-ups and spice-minted, triple entendre’s…against a dry spot heavy Rum Nitty on his B-game, Cali Smoov (“I don’t write battle rap bars, I write poetry”) proves to not only be a competent battle rapper, but a guy you might not to face in a game of Scrabble either.
Verdict: Cali Smoov (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Cali Smoov – “Man, I been in L.A. County, Twin Towers, fighting a pen charge, I was riding alone, been locked in dorms with more Rolling 60s than retirement homes!”
