Recap: Both Born and Craig Lamar drop deliciously hot bars throughout this one-rounder from Enter the Dungeon Battle Rap League. Born’s use of exquisite (“Bullets embark on temples like a pilgrimage!”; “I could see the ‘lil bitch in nigga’s genes [jeans]..Dej Loaf!”) punchlines, rich set-ups/wordplay and fiery name flips stayed consistently nice, while Lamar’s penchant for hard (“I’ll set these banger’s up in ya crib, you’ll get the surround sound by me, if you’re around town try me, I’mma set up at the back of ya whip, so when I get them pound rounds flying…bullets will do a number, on ya bumper, like ‘how’s my driving?!'”) schemes and stupendous (“You the colonel of ya crew?, well nigga I will pop corn b— you, and even when you die, I’ll still be waving at the ground…let’s make snow angels!”) anecdotes kept the match competitive. However, it’s Born who takes it in the end with a more consistent flow, more haymakers and less filler.
Verdict: Born (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Born – “I’m squeezing, leave him where I seen him at, Chinese food, you thought it was beef until it gave you a seasoned cat!”
