Recap: Who knows if the day will ever come that sees A. Ward grace us with his talents on a URL stage. But the feeling here is that if Ward (who’s clearly out to prove that he doesn’t need an appearance on the URL to solidify his battle rap career) continues to go after top tier ‘URL battlers’ (which he is wanton to do) his resume would warrant much more credibility if he did 3-round battles on the likes of Geechi Gotti’s The Riot league then say 1-rounder’s in front of a garage door. That being said, a dope 3-rounder here between Ward and Rum Nitty, littered with a plethora of sizzling punchlines, fiery gun bars, righteous name flips, filthy Godspeak and well-oiled wordplay by Nitty versus a gang of fiesty rebuttals/freestyles juxtaposed over the course of 3 rounds with some flexing punchlines/personals, witty barbs, aggressive schemes, rigid wordplay and stinging boasts/name flips from Ward (who did have reaches here and there) makes this a competitive matchup with the more haymaker-lit Rum taking round 1 before Ward, helped by his off-the-dome aptness, edged round 2. Tied going into the 3rd, it’s a more steadily hitting, intricate and innovative with the pen Nitty (despite a crazy latter half to his round from Ward) who takes it in the end.
Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Rum Nitty – “Disrespect, I’ll shoot a Christian with a nail gun!”
