Recap: From Bar4Bar Battle League, first off credit to Chess for keeping his poise while so many in the crowd were talking while he rapped (then too, the host should get some points for at least trying to kill the noise). That being said, a pretty close, gritty and dope 1-rounder between the Young God and Casino gets edged by the latter as opposed to Chess’ hardbody round of sizzling (tho some were predictable) name flips and piercing punches, his opponent’s more versatile punch game, which included a boatload of sturdy street talk, righteous darts, mocking personals, hard storytelling bars, solid name flips and fiery punchlines would score him enough haymakers to earn the win.
Verdict: Casino (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Casino – “I don’t spar on the phone because it sound like transactions!”
