Recap: Another fine effort from Brooklyn, NY emcee Mr. Mann, who like he did in a recent 1-rounder against Tay Roc, held his own here with an aggressive style littered with brash, abtract raps and some hard-hitting punches. However, against a Rum Nitty making his debut on Gates of the Garden, the EFB battler more than impressed, utilizing a boatload of fiery gun bars, solid name flips, brazen punchlines and steely wordplay during a fittingly condensed turn to get the win in this competitive one-rounder.
Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Rum Nitty – “I coudl send real life shooters at you, you better get alert, my killers work, they post up chilling, right where you hang Mann [Hangman] till you get the word!”
