Recap: In this 1-rounder from Houston Bar Code, Swav delivers one of his best performances, uplifting an already gritty street game with better efficiency to his punches, braggadocios raps, lofty personals and oft-potent trap/gang talk. Unfortunately for the Texan battler, his opponent Nu Jerzey Twork would do him one better. The former Goonie waiting out an elongated turn from his opp and getting right at it with a gang of fire set-up/punchlines, piercing similes, graphic mayhem, stinging gun bars, rich storytelling and boastful drug chatter that all combined ellicited enough hayakers for the win.
Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “They gonna hit me with a whole hundred years, extra life, left the rock, no release date…Jeffrey Dahmer!”
