Recap: I guess we can pardon DNA for suddenly getting so biblical on us, what with Th3 Saga also being a member of NWX. Still, another good match nonetheless for the battle rap vet giving yet another relative newcomer a shot in Bullpen Battle League’s Loso. First round sees DNA win pretty handily, dispensing a steady and scintillating flow filled with requisite gun bars and gritty (“If the cops come we must stash the can, Mister Pringle’s!”) punches that more than outshined a nice at times, but filler-drenched turn from Loso. With plenty of momentum gained from a stellar 1st round, it’s more of the same in the 2nd with DNA continuing to dish with hard-pressing (“The ratchet lovely, stunt double, you don’t want action from me!”) gun bars along with potent punches that more than hit their mark. And while Loso stepped it up to deliver a (“We only care that you cookie ‘cuz you around the shooter, you Aiesha Curry!”) very solid round mixed with comedic darts along with hitting (“When Gun Titles pressed you at that first battle, you was looking real fake man, now I know you good at improvising off the top, but how so quickly you came up with an escape plan?!”) personals, it still wasn’t enough to be beat DNA’s more steady heat. Catching a fade of religion and literally speaking to the aforementioned Saga on the phone halfway through the 3rd round, a shaky at times DNA still manages to pontificate and get off whatever point he was trying to make towards his opponent. Still, with a barrage of more hard (“Wanna know what we yawning for? because every battle you pull out a new gun, but that’s not what we meant when we said go back to the drawing board!”) personals and some excellent wordplay, Loso easily salvages the last round and avoids the 3-0.
Verdict: DNA (W) 2-1
Favorite line: DNA – “Mad noise when shooting, ask Mase, you couldn’t pass the King Los at a Bad Boy reunion!”
