Recap: From Calicoe’s BMBL league, outside of a lazy gay/race angle in round 2, a bunch of pedestrian bars and a handful of slip-ups throughout his 3 rounds, J2 manages to unleash a solid, gun/street bars-heavy and gritty effort in front of a Detroit crowd that was into the entire battle. Too bad that A. Ward just on one here. The Kansas battler delivering a superb opening round, littered with a gang of righteous darts, fly name flips, mocking/witty personals, dope punchlines and fiery off-the-dome heat that combined to handily take the opener. Then in round 2 exposing the advantages and drawbacks of being a prominent gay rapper in battle rap while also dishing plenty of fly rebuttals and hitting punches/personals. Already up 2-0, Ward would bring down the energy a bit and offer up a solid and punch-worthy 3rd that coupled with J2 struggling with his flow to the point that he had to cut his round short, easily gave A. Ward he 30.
Verdict: A. Ward (W) 3-0
Favorite line: A. Ward – “Hey, listen to this, ‘cuz this how the story goes, Smack called your phone, you was giving some head!”
