Recap: From GOTG, like Drugz back in the day, when you use a one-syllable moniker for your battle rap name that’s popular in the hood, you gotta know that come every battle you’re most likely going to get name flipped to death. That said, making excellent use of a gang of flexible name flips, but also scoring with some wicked set-up/punchlines, head-ringing gun bars, boastful zingers and mocking personals, Chess manages to score enough haymakers during a slightly less time-consuming turn to beat back a pretty solid effort from Dice. Who while delivering a plethora of hard-hitting punches/personals and blistering street darts and Chess-isms to make it close, suffered a bit from one too many pedestrian bars to get the win in this fiery 1-rounder.
Verdict: Chess (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chess – “Nigga Chess Godly, where you from you get respect hardly, a nigga did somethin’ to you and he slept calmly, a nigga even dream about doing somethin’ to me and he woke up and said sorry!”
