Recap: Can’t say that before this battle took place, that it didn’t cross my mind that DNA vs. O’fficial would potentially be a better bout if NWX was still a group. Well, let me admit that I was wrong. As for the most part, the two former crew members really gave it their all, while putting on a dope and competitive show. O’fficial, who had a crazy and versatile round 1 (her best), came with it, dropping a plethora of spicy gun bars, hard-hitting/mocking personals and gritty punchlines to stay close. While DNA, shrewdly rocking the crowd with a bunch of fire punches that were laced with local references, when he wasn’t scoring via a bunch of disrespectful personals, fiery wordplay and piercing set-ups/name flips, was in top form as usual. An entertaining matchup that also sliced and diced with plenty of chatter on what happened their former squad, had the slightly more potent O edging round 1, before DNA with the help of some stinging off-the-dome darts and a couple of not-quite-as-steady rounds from O’fficial, taking both of the latter turns for the comeback win.
Verdict: DNA (W) 2-1
Favorite line: DNA – “I guess why they brought me to Charlotte, so I could get my team back from New Orleans!”
