Recap: Each having taken a long break from battling on URL, both Bad Newz and Rolla make their Proving Grounds return and it’s a goodie. Newz dishing hardbody punches with a gritty and often cocky edge, while Rolla talked that O.G. shit with fire set-ups and personals. Close and competitive throughout with lofty gun bars, fiery name flips and some able wit mixed in, it’s a more condensed, pragmatic, versatile and less filler-prone Rolla who edges rounds 1 and 2 for the win.
Verdict: Rolla (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Rolla – “I’m Cooter Brown, iron out, I’m done pressing him…hand grip, one finger move, it ain’t thumb wrestling!”
