Recap: Featuring the birth of Chef Trez’s ‘3 of them things’, a boatload of elite gun lines, crazy performance bars, 3 consistently punch-heavy rounds from Ryda, some dizzying wordplay and a couple of Prez Mafia quotables, this PG matchup between (“Why Reepah Rell a nigga, when I could steal him and paint the whole face!”) the up-n-coming DMV battler and the returning-to-the-PGs Trez was dope till the end. Indeed, this was a close as for every terrific, punch-lit and bar savvy turn by Ryda, Trez would come right back with an aggressive and gritty turn that coupled with a handful of dope rebuttal’s/freestyle’s, kept him in the mix. This was especially highlighted by a sublime (“LeBron signing with Nike, I put a check on the witness!”; “Now they trying to figure out who killed the Chef…it’s like the Clue game!”) 2nd round by Ryda with so little filler that you wouldn’t be too off if you thought he had the round running away. But then, there was the Chef again, showing amazing poise, much less enough confidence in his pen (and brain) to meet his opponent at the end with enough hot boastful (“I feel like the cameraman with the Cheater show..I’ll catch him with the side piece!”; “100 rounds, let’s build a suspension, watch the drum roll!”) darts, freestyles and rebuts to edge the round. Ultimately tho, Ryda’s ability to stay on his opponent’s neck with stifling (“Head shot, flip the body, left the nigga San leaking like a hour glass!”) punchline after (“You a Chef, your occupation is to cook for other people’s pleasure, ain’t a secret food, but watch who you speaking too, ‘cuz Blood I’ll eat ya food!”) punchline, would be too much for even Trez as the La Familia capo’s contnuously fire wordplay/similes/personals during yet another haymaker-drenched turn, over what was a pretty solid and gripping round by Trez, would get him the win.
Verdict: Ryda (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You probably think you could hold a gun sideways and not miss a shot, well I’m honest, first time I gripped and popped, heart dropped, eyes closed…it felt like I was getting shot!”
