Recap: From URL’s ‘Civil War 4’ card, it’s definitely a close one through and through. Chess with a gang of fire name flips, righteous bars/personals, some witty darts, slick set-up/punchlines and some shots at Aye Verb (with whom he’s been engaging in an ongoing feud) certainly made his presence felt. While the relative newcomer Swervoo continued to show that he’s here to stay with a plethora of gritty punches, clever wordplay, gutsy street rhymes and mocking personals that even had his opponent impressed. Clean flow-wise with no unforced errors or rebuttals from both sides, it’s the slightly more haymaker-lit Chess who edges rounds 1 and 3 (got a sublime Swervoo edging round 2) for the win.
Verdict: Chess (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chess – “Fucking with the kid done got you in trouble…Kels is pissed!”
