Recap: After surviving a gritty patchwork of rudimentary rhymes by Head I.C.E. in round 1, a boastful Xcel gets in his bag of wicked 4-bar set-ups, fiery wordplay, rigid name flips and hard-hitting personals/punches to take both (with a little help from I.C.E. slipping up a couple of times in round 3) of the latter rounds, win the battle and move on to the next round of this KOTD GP2020 tourney.
Verdict: Xcel (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Xcel – “I’m Heisenberg, I’ll show y’all the method for cooking Ice!”
