Recap: Dope URL App exclusive battle here between Chess and Loso features a gang of blistering name flips from both battlers to go along with some righteous personals, wily angles, unfettered Christian-themed darts and piercing punchlines that altogether kept the battle ultra-close for 3 rounds. Each battler extolling on Chess’ memorable win over Loso’s 4 Horseman bro Th3 Saga some years back added some extra spice to the battle. And Loso’s passionate bars on his family’s struggles with certain vices and how they helped shape him as a man, were also gripping. That said, while Loso being a ‘fake Christian’ (as Chess alleged during one of his rounds) is hard to fathom, assisted a bit by Loso attempting to get virtuous with his opponent in an indignant manner that K-Shine pulled off better during his battle with Chess, the CakeLyfe capo’s ability to get extra busy with some sublime wordplay throughout the bout much less present a more cohesive package with his bars allows Chess to edge an exquisite and punch-heavy round 1, before a more set-up rich, spirited and supremely well-arched 2nd by the 22yo allows him to edge that round too for the win. A pontificating, but more consistently hitting Loso would edge the final 3rd round to avoid the shutout.
Verdict: Chess (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chess – “Ya man talkin’? I’ma hook his jaw, then I’m checking Lo’s [Lowes] like Home Depot ain’t have what I was lookin’ for!”
