Recap: Fire and competitive throughout, DNA and Rum Nitty both do what’s expected of them in this 3-round battle from Smack/URL. Elongated in the 1st round, but more versatile with his (“What you a Crip with your faking ass?, if you don’t wanna die just move, this an imitation crab [Bwoh!] now to try to process food!”) punches, at times witty and scheme-heavy, DNA does just enough to edge what was an unapologetically heated, wordplay (“Y’all the reason why nigga’s saying battling lame, ‘cuz we got 100 wack nigga’s trying to manage The Game!”) friendly and gun-savvy turn from Nitty. The second round saw DNA open up with a fire rebuttal and then launch into some amusing (“I need y’all to picture Nutty at the lunch line, soon as he saw the meal [mil] with the tray [.3]…he got a punchline!”) personals as well as aggressive punchlines drenched with a flair for bluster and righteous polemics. However, after barely getting edged in the previous round, Nitty would come back with yet another more condensed and spitfire round, dishing fiery, back-to-back (“100 in the clip, you getting 80 D…pay attention!”) punches along with steely name flips and more bodacious gun lines for that ass to take the middle round. The 3rd and deciding round saw DNA attempt to drop a few rebuttals to open things which turned out to be hit-n-miss, before seguing into a versatile turn of solid punches, gun bars and personals that were again a bit on the prolonged side, but still a hard go at it nonetheless. But overall Rum Nitty would just prove to be too much in the end, keeping his foot on the pedal with syrupy gun bars, more finessed punches, a high-level performance and even mixing in a little wit to take the final round, complete his comeback and get the win.
Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Rum Nitty – “Let’s scrap fam, I’ll drop a bomb on a nigga from the Gap band!”
