Recap: Hopefully, while we can usually appreciate Jerry Wess’ loves for gimmicks, walkie-talkie recordings won’t become a staple when it comes to the future of battle rap. That said, a solid battle between the usually crazy punchline-spitting Wess and the ever-brash Arsonal comes down to a spitfire 3rd round from Wess (a flexing/performance-heavy comeback considering how mediocre his 2nd was) as well as a topsy-turvy and elongated 1st round from da Rebel (who also didn’t come as hard with the disrespectful bars as we’re used to seeing) which gave Jerry the edge there too for the win.
Verdict: Jerry Wess (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Jerry Wess – “The little .9 to his cranium, his wig gonna burst, I’ll put the baby [putts hand up like gun over Arsonal’s head] over this bitch like ‘my kids come first!'”
