Recap: Both Illa and J. Murda do their thing in this 1-rounder from Universl Bars Battle League, kicking gritty street shit along with some greasy gun bars and fiery name flips to keep things competitive. But while Illa was mostly solid throughgout, it’s Murda who gets the edge here, what with a little more consistency to his heat, displaying some wit, dishing fiery performance bars and potent schemes that included a couple that flexed his knowledge of classic hip-hop album covers.
Verdict: J. Murda (W) 1-0
Favorite line: J. Murda – “You better show the fuck up, ‘cuz this ya test to rhyme with others, how’d he do?, the lead flew, and blew Red all over the room…he passed with flying colors!”
