Recap: It’s no secret that Arsonal’s been wanting to battle Murda Mook for quite a long time and a bit surprisingly, it’s Calicoe and his Landslide league who finally makes it happen. An intriguing matchup not only due to both battler’s top tier vet status, but also the level of disrespect (mostly from Arsonal) between the two. Either way, after a longwinded on both sides, but gritty, braggadocious and often punch-heavy throughout opening round, the battle would come down to the basics: who could rap batter. And by any stretch of the imagination it was clearly Mook. The Harlem rhymeslinger utilizing a bunch of spicy local references, boastful barbs, rigid storytelling, animated street darts, wily personals and dope punchlines to handily take round 2 from an elongated and mostly subpar (before he choked) Arsonal and even without da Rebel (who got highly disrespectful in the 3rd) choking again doing the same in the final round to take rounds 2 and 3 and after a debatable round 1 and earn the win.
Verdict: Murda Mook (W) 2-1
