Recap: Hearkening back to the days of Jay Focus and an early John John da Don, here in this KOTD 3-rounder versus B. Magic, Saynt’s fashionable fur coat is not only a bit nostalgic, but in this case fitting in lieu of his eccentric performance bars. Indeed, an often stifling series of varied bar patterns that were only lessened by a flow-challenged 2nd round that even with its more heated moments couldn’t keep up with Magic’s requisite climactic punchlines and fiery name flips. Still, clearly motivated to add a win over a top, punchline vet to his resume, Saynt’s more consistent and gritty punches in addition to his rugged gun bars, pointed personals, flexing name flips and steady mayhem are more than enough to take the 1st and 3rd rounds for the vic.
Verdict: Saynt (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Saynt – “Town Bizness, Smack Volume, you ain’t even been spitting hard, you wanna see some basic Magic, just pick a card!”
