Recap: Decent battle between Head Ice and Serius Jones, who’s making the right move what with shifting his rap battle career to KOTD. However, Ice’s more esoterical rhymes, performance bars and aggressive (“You be tripping, but staying out of the helicopter route, cuz when we be tripping, we be bringing helicopters out”) wordplay (vs. Jones mostly standard bars and shorter rounds) gets him the first couple of rounds and the win here. A close 3rd round, but Jones (as even Ice acknowledged) spit a couple of the nicest (“See, I never got beat up, I got snuffed, but you give the game a black eye for having Ice around, see I coulda got a lump sum for Blackout, but you know when you put Ice on, the knot goes down”) bar in the round to edge it.
Verdict: Head Ice (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Head Ice – “Now you know that I’m a pet lover, the desert eagle will leave you, but the hawk [swings] will be a step-brother!”
