Recap: Young rookie goes up against the older vet as Chef Trez battles Automatic Ray in a fiery, one-rounder from Spit Dat Heat. Ray, apparently motivated by Trez not giving him enough credit for putting him on, puts on a solid show, dispensing winsome punchlines and engaging (“You think your bitch is being faithful?, I bet if I meet her I can hit it, Street Fighter bonus stage, she gonna see the whip and try to kick it!”) wordplay with ease, while kindly (“You got booked in a couple of states, ok, that’s fine…but I’ve made more off these kids than Danny Myers at tax time!”)…reminding his opponent of his place in the game. Indeed, a solid round from Ray that only dipped when some punches either lacked pizzazz or came off elementary. Still, a hard turn to follow up, but Trez more than put in that work. Using some crazy (“Listen Ray, you can’t son a nigga that’s sonning nigga’s, gun will hitt’cha, for that bread, this square will get his head shot…Wanted picture!”) wordplay, filthy (“I was in the whip with a Smith-n-Wesson, with a dozen round mag, waiting on him to leave with his team, when I see him I’m dumping everything out that bitch, somebody gonna bleed on the scene, that’s 1 gun, 1 clip, 12 bullets, I feel like making a song while I’m squeezing that thing, I see him, now 112 [one .12] blasting out the car like I’m bumping ‘Peaches and Cream’!”) schemes, potent gun bars, nice set-ups and hitting (“You too aggressive, in the shop throwing temper tantrums, well calm your nerves or I’ll [reaches hand out like gun] 10 per tantrum”) personals that hit their mark, it’s the yung’un who shines brighter in what was pretty dope battle.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Ray said he’ll grab his Mac, dump it and blaze it, fat fuck, better off saying you got a sag lunch with bacon, I’ll grab pumps or lay Tek’s [latex]and bust, that condoms breaking and hit him with a K [‘k’] like that’s the end of that conversation!”
