Recap: Round one turns out to be the difference maker in this entertaining matchup between Cyssero and Bill Collector. Prone to slip-ups in his most recent battles, Cyssero not only gets more pronounced and refined here, but along with dishing some nice animated bars, it’s the righteous (“Stop being Bill Collector, who’s a clown, and be Eric who’s more of a respectable nigga and you won’t have bitch-nigga problems, ‘cuz the real one’s will have more respect for ya nigga!”) ‘talking to’ that he puts on his opponent that edges him the opening round, despite a hot (“Battle rap Snapple fact, from the upper council, you Black Wallstreet and The Game don’t give a fact about you!”) turn from Bill. And Cys wasn’t done hyping the crowd there either as his second round, an elongated but steady stream of winsome punches and gritty (“So go head, play animal, I’ll bang it out and spark, he’ll go to sleep right after the shot…that’s a tranquilizer dart!”) gun bars that continuously landed, turned out to be Cyssero’s best round since his return to battle rap. With two straight rounds of consistent fire, by the time Bill (who pretty much took round two off) returned with repeated (“If you swing…[ducks down] wait a minute, if I swing…[points down] pavement!”) heat to take the latter round, it turned out to be a little too late.
Verdict: Cyssero (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Cyssero – “I’ll bless you with so many bullets in ya neck region, you’ll belch and drop ya head in ya chest, now ya breastfeeding…”
