Recap: From The Ilustration, battling almost every other day it seems like nowadays, a prolific Chef Trez stil manages to put forth a top-notch effort. Once again using some fiery gun bars, hard-hitting/witty personasl and a bunch of gritty punchlines to take the first two rounds for the win here against a less haymaker-lit overall, but pretty solid (his bet round in the 3rd got hin the edge there), fkexing at times with both the personals and punches EA Zay.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Ever see an angry bitch tweet?, it’s a sub-machine!”
Recap: Damn, thought that the often punch-lit Quis had a chance there. But once showing that there’s levels to this, Chef Trez’s (on one day’s notice nonetheless) steady barrage of glistening gun bars, scorching set-up/punchlines, stinging wordplay, bullish darts and flippant personals/name flips prove to be too much in this competitive 1-rounder from No Entourage.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I told my hitman it was a 5-10 nigga with a nerd posture, but he gonna put you 6 feet by 7, 6 2 like the Spurs roster!”
Recap: In this 1-rounder from Full Effect Battle League, Chef Trez uses a gang of hard braggadocious raps, some mean 4-bar set-up/punchlines, a couple of brash freestyles and stinging gun bars to beat back a street-themed, aggressive and pretty solid, but not nearly as steadily potent Vino Collins.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “But I had all kind of clientele, I’m a real hustler, I even served the Asian’s dog food, I’m a myth buster!”
Recap: Chef Trez might disagree, but members of the crowd screaming ‘1-1’ after two rounds of this dope KOTD, 3-round matchup between Trez and Xcel, had it correct. As the slightly more efficient and haymaker-lit Trez edged round 1, before (despite some solid freestyles/rebuttals that took place during a jaunty turn from the Chef) the ever wordplay/punch and name flip-heavy Xcel returned the favor in round 2 to split things up going into the 3rd. And that’s where Trez really turned it up, got versatile and had a classic, utilizing some more salacious personals/gun bars, fierce off-the-dome heat, fire set-up/punchlines and graphic/mayhem-lit darts/name flips to take the 3rd for the win in light of another competitive and gritty turn by his opponent.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “But you still act like a bitch do, the boy hating, act wrong the toy blazing, I’m for sure waving, the handle wood, but the slide chrome, it got a nickleback, peep the formation!”
Recap: We gonna keep it consistent here. As for the umpteenth time: a choke is when you totally forget your bars and thus have to end your round. Secondly, a slip-up (which should still be penalized) is when you forget and/or mangle your bars during a round, but are still able to get it back and finish your turn. So miss me with Tay Roc telling the world (and his opponent Chef Trez) that he lost this 3-round URL Bars over Politics 3-rounder because he “choked” during round 3, when instead he slipped up midway and got it back to deliver what was still a pretty solid round. And while Roc did get edged in the 3rd, thanks in part to Trez having a cleaner and slightly more efficient run at it, that doesn’t take away from what happened in both of the earlier rounds. The more versatile Roc beating back a pretty dope, but gun bar-heavy and slightly less haymaker-lit Trez (who despite being complimented by Roc on his freestyle/rebuttal ability, ironically didn’t do much of it here) with some superb wordplay, 4-bar/hard-hitting back-to-back punchlines, plenty of graphic violence, steely gun bars, fire name flips, jaunty personals/storytelling bars and fiery gun lines of his own to earn the win.
Verdict: Tay Roc (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Tay Roc – “Gun butt, scarred jaw, broke his wisdon, pull put a stick, up the nose for Covid symptoms!”
Recap: From Only The Real Battle League, although some extra rapping occurs afterwards, we’re only recapping the seemingly agreed 1-round here. That said, a pretty solid effort from up-n-coming battler Joe Cartega here, who with a shitload of fiery street rhymes and piercing name flips made it competitive. But a Chef Trez armed to the tilt with 5 of them things to start things out, plus a bunch of sturdy gun bars and wicked/mayhem-laced punches during a more condensed and efficient turn, allows the Chef to chalk up another vic.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I’ll be the reason there’s brain fragments everywhere, the Chef is wicked, I’ll put his IQ on the wall…I’m trying to test his vision!”
Recap: From Body Bag Battle League, a warning to all viewers: one could get hot just watching this battle–that’s how much sweat seemed to be piling up in the room. Nonetheless, a pretty solid, gritty and punch-lit at times effort by One Take McGuyver gets beat back by a Chef Trez on one with a boatload of fiery gun bars, piercing personals/punchlines, hard-hitting/mayhem-lit street bars, dizzying gang talk and sizzling rebuttals/freestyles in a 1-rounder that should’ve came with some air conditioning.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You not legit, I was at them dice games where that bread at, I seen Unc serve crackheads and turn around and yell ‘Head crack’!”
Recap: From One Shot Battle League, Chef Trez and Coach Corleone go at it for 3 rounds and it’s pretty much a one-sided affair. As despite an aggessive, gritty and overall solid effort from the Coach, one too many pedestrian bars from the Chicago battler and a Chef Trez delivering a consistent barrage of sturdy gun bars, fly name flips/metaphors, hitting personals and potent punchlines earns the latter the 30.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Those punches good now, but it’s nothing we quote later, you never gonna be a star, the best coaches was just role players!”
Recap: T-Top and Chef Trez both give the Bullpen Battle League crowd their money’s worth in this fiery, competitive 3-rounder that stayed close throughout. And while the battle featured what you’d expect when it comes to Trez’s off-the-dome theatrics and Top’s greasy angles, it’s the Bear’s slightly more efficient use of crispy punchlines, boastful barbs and ridiculous name flips that edged him the victory. The more versatile Top taking the first round with a boatload of well-structured set-up/punchlines to set a strong tone early on. However, Trez would fight back hard in the second, showcasing his freestyle prowess and earning the round (over a solid, scheme-heavy turn by Top) with a bunch of impressive street darts and witty personals. Going into the 3rd round tied, T-Top would seal the win with a powerful closer, blending fire schemes, gritty trap talk and crowd control to tip the scales in his favor while also being assisted by a suprisingly righteous (tho Trez did turn it up and score more frequently in the latter half of his round) turn from his opponent.
Verdict: T-Top (W) 2-1
Favorite line: T-Top – “You my brother chef, so I don’t wanna let the beef continue, but you been asking for it like a secret menu!”
Recap: In this 1-rounder from The Stage in ATL, Chef Trez uses a handful of spicy rebuttals, a gang of piercing gun bars, cutthroat mayhem, stinging race angles and witty/mocking personals to handily beat back a round rife with personals and some hitting punches, but mostly pedestrian effort from Dylan.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I enter his ttown on a Sunday with a pistol clutched, walk in his church and hit Dylan [points hands like gun at opoonent’s head] roof, I’m trying to do to him what he did to us!”
Recap: From Gates of the Garden, credit to Wise for making the Chef work hard for this one. Trez using a barrage of fierce gun bars, slick rebuttals, fire name flips and hard-hitting schemes/punchlnes to edge rounds 1 and 2 in this 3-rounder for the win before Wise, who was competitive, gritty and punch & scheme-lit throughout the battle, handily took the 3rd.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “His grave like the vein of a heroin user, the boy in it!”
Recap: It came down to way too many jabs from the Chef. In this 3-rounder from the New Udubb, as extremely hard-hitting, aggressive and street-themed as Monsta could be, too many dry spots from the Southern battler and a Chef Trez consistently hitting on all cylinders when it came to potent gun lines, spicy rebuttals/freestyles, greasy name flips and wicked punches gives the ATL vet a sturdy 30.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Potato in front of this shrimp, he in hot water, we making gumbo!”
Recap: From Universal Bars Battle League, against a solid effort from Da Example that was littered in persuasive drug talk and other violence-induced punches, Chef Trez flips out with a gang of gritty gun bars, flexing double entendres, some sporty off-the-dome heat and a boatload of piercing punchlines to handliy get the 30.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Let him try it, drive-by, hop out with hella choppers, in front of his house with a stick, it’s a pressure washer!”
Recap: From Dark Horse Battle League, outside of needing to be more clear with his vocals, newcomer (according to VerseTracker anyway) Midas delivers a pretty solid and gritty effort here in this 3-rounder against fellow ATL-ien Chef Trez. But nonwithstanding a debatable round 2, it’s all Trez here as the veteran and highly prolific battler responds to his opponent’s fiending street bars with a boatload of fiery gun bars, piercing off-the-dome heat, graphic/mayhem-lit darts and potent punchlines to handily take rounds 1 and 3 for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “This ratchet killing every possibility, it got its tubed tied!”
Recap: From URL’s Smack Vol. 11 card, after edging round 1 here vs. Chef Trez with a couple of spicy mid-round rebuttals, a heavily scheming, metaphor flipping Charlie Clips goes back to ‘Which Clips will show up?’ mode, resorts to way too many freestyles and after getting beaten badly in round 2 to the way more haymaket-lit Trez, delivers a mostly pedestrian/off-the dome/oft-indirect turn in the deciding 3rd, helping the consistently punch-lit, rebuttal-spazzing, gun bar flashing and personal/scheme/name flip-fiending Trez get the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “What’s the reason?, nuthin’ you say legit, we all go scrolling down that rabbit hole when it’s late as shit, but nobody can out-do how you be playing Clips!”
Recap: If he can stay consistent with the heat, this kid Los Premee has a very bright future ahead of him in battle rap. The iBattle up-n-comer, here against an always competitive, rebuttal-lit and oft-punch heavy/potent gun bar slinging Chef Trez, impressing again with 3 rounds of spitfire lines. Whether he was fiercely flipping the Chef’s slogan against him, spouting a gang of crazy anime bars/similes, going toe-to-toe with Trez when it came to spicy rebuttals, flexing with a bunch of hard-hitting street darts or dishing gritty haymakers via a sublime punch game with rapid and relative ease, Los Premee seems to be putting even to top tiers on notice. That said, after a debatable round 1, it’s the more prolific scoring Premee who takes rounds 2 and 3 for the win.
Verdict: Los Premee (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Los Premee – “I was just gonna rob him, then he tried to run so I dumped the ‘matic instead, dropped him instantly, it’s schizophrenia, I got 3 of them things in the back of the head!”
Recap: From Body Bag Battle League, showcasing some incredible wordplay throughout to go along with a boatload of fiery gun bars, sporty rebuttals of his own, stinging name flips and a gang of crazy 4-bar set/punchlines, after handily out-punching opponent Chef Trez in round 1, a more versatile and slightly punch-heavier Yunus survives a dope round 2 from his veteran opp to edge the middle round for the win. However it’s Trez, still competitive while serving up a rich palette of fierce off-the-dome heat, sturdy gun bars and gritty punches throughout the bout, who takes the 3rd with a bit of help of a more indirect and struggle bar prone Yunus, to avoid the shutout.
Verdict: Yunus (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Yunus – “You don’t get that tho?, this is Tic Tac Toe, I’m trying to X out 3 of them thangs!”
Recap: Damn, Chef Trez and Fonz battled each other so long ago, it’s easy to forget that they met up already. Either way, this rematch from URL’s “Redemption 3” card, while certainly a goodie, moreso established how much Fonz has evolved over the years to become one of the best punchers in the game. The Landlord wasting no time with his elite punch game while going at his opponent with a rapid stream of filthy similes, stinging name flips, bullish boasts, hard-hitting personals and fiery linguistic darts that after a debatable round 1, proved to be more efficient during the latter two rounds for the win. That said, despite Chef Trez delivering his usual strong performance, it was surprising that after the opening round, he didn’t utilize more (after dishing ‘3 of those things’ in the opener) rebuttals in the battle, which along with being elongated in rounds 2 and 3, might have contributed to his defeat. Nonetheless, by showcasing his usual m.o. of impressive gun bars and fire punchlines, Trez made it clear that even in a loss, he’s still worth the price of admission.
Verdict: Fonz (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Fonz – “Trez you can’t fuck with me, I’m only trying to reason with’cha, ‘cuz like a torn ACL, you facing a seasoned killer!”
Recap: In this exclusive URL App 3-rounder, Chef Trez utilizes a gang of banging off-the-dome heat, flippant personals, gritty name flips, fire set-up/punchlines and sturdy gun bars to take the first couple of rounds for the win over a pretty solid-as-usual Kid Chaos. The South Carolina vet competing hard with a plethora of ill breakdowns, eccentric wordplay and gutsy punches/name flips, but unable to overcome his opponent’s more formidable rounds until his best turn in the 3rd, which he edged to avoid the shutout.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Mr. Language Arts I quit school, but I know every story got a body in it!”
Recap: From Family Battle League, against the bullish/street-themed overtones of a solid, but mostly pedestrian Jayrone, via a nice healthy mix of gritty gun bars, wicked name flips/personals, stinging punchlines and of course, some off-the-dome heat to plant his mark, Chef Trez gets another handy win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Nigga’s trying, but I don’t be around haters, and I don’t owe this nigga 3 of dem things, it’s Family Battle League, we don’t count favors!”
Recap: From OSBL, some hard street rhymes and rapid punches from Wordplay The Menace makes for a solid effort. But nothing of sorts from WTM is able to overcome a steady stream of fiery off-the-dome heat, sturdy gun bars and gritty punchlines from Chef Trez in this mostly one-sided 1-rounder.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “All these shots I gave, I’m not the one to call if you seeking sobriety!”
Recap: In this 1-rounder from Black Elite Battle League, a gritty and solid effort from Chadoe Cerious gets overmatched by way more haymaker-lit Chef Trez, who used a fiery barrage of graphic mayhem, steely gun bars, sturdy name flips, fire wordplay and sublime set-up/punchlines on his way to an easy win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I’m talking deuce-deuce for this OG, he Bobby Johnson, you think I’m just a yung’un, y’ll better tell this cat stop, I’m raising everything, it’s a caps lock!”
Recap: A 1-rounder from the League of Championship Kulture sees Young Herb spout some gritty punchlines, rigid boasts and a gang of piercing personals to keep things competitive. But armed with a couple of spicy rebuttals to go along with a bunch of sturdy gun bars, stinging 4-bar set-up/punchlines and some well-positioned personal bangers of his own, this one ends up with Chef Trez as the vic.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You a goof, always bitching, crying, reaching for hope, complaining, shaming when you speaking on Facebook, people wanna reach for ya throat, Deandre Ayton type nigga’s, you gotta son them when they weak on the post!”
Recap: From The Stage, crazy and fire effort from Tre Boogie, who with a shitload of gritty 4-bar set-up/punchlines made things close. But unexplicably choosing to go first in a 1-rounder against the rebuttal king in Chef Trez and then having to face a rigid gang of off-the-dome heat in addition to a plethrora of fire gun bars and name flips, proves to be Boogie’s downfall while allowing Trez to edge this one for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “My gun is part of my wingspan and it’s always at arm’s reach!”
Recap: From The Battle Academy, rarely do you witness an opponent with enough guts to encourage Chef Trez to rebuttal against him. But credit to Shankk Prezzy, who not only went there, but with some dope ‘pre-rebuttals’, a bunch of witty barbs/personals, gritty punchlines and a knack for piercing wordplay, kept things competitive and even took the opening round in this 3-rounder. But with Trez being Trez, you just knew he’d meet the off-the-dome freestyle/rebuttal challenge and then some, including a plethora of stinging name flips, wily gun bars and fiery/more direct punches of his own to come back, edge both the 2nd and 3rd round’s and earn the win.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You wanted a shot?, well it’s gonna be an ugly one…Ben Simmons!”
Recap: As much positive work that these two have put in over the years, Swamp versus Chef Trez definiteluy deserved to be on the big stage at Summer Madness 13. But instead this much-anticipated matchup appears on Banned and guess what? Not only is it still a doozy, but the darkened, cozy setting here actually enhances both the battle and the bars. Indeed, Trez with his boatload of fierce gun bars, serene rebuttals and fiery punchlines/name flips as he always does, came to compete. While Swamp on his A-game with zero unforced errors throughout, brought it back to his classic Your Honor battle, what with the lofty levels of trap talk, stirring/action-packed gun lines, witty ersonals and fire similes/punches that he unleashed here. And that ended up being the difference, with the slightly more steady and haymaker-lit Swamptown capo edging rounds 1 and 2 for the win, before a just as combative Trez and his trio of thangs edged the 3rd.
Verdict: Swamp (W) 2-1

Verdict: Clone (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Clone – “This ain’t me in the flesh, just the spirit against you, you said ‘making Clone like a scientist’…I came to experiment with you!”
Recap: From Bar Wars Rap Battles, noted KOTD punch feen Shotti P delivers a wicked/witty religious/Muslim angle to take round 2 of this 3-rounder. But outside of that it’s too much Chef Trez here as the ATL vet uses a boatload of ill gun bars, gritty punchlines, mocking personals, flexing trap talk and hitting rebuttals/freestyles to handily take rounds 1 and 3 for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “.38 caught a case behind Shotti…like 6ix9ine!”

Verdict: Jakkboy Maine (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Jakkboy Maine – “Them Christmas carols end with a scream, so my past, present and future Chef seen all 3 of them thangs!”
Recap: Who doesn’t love a dope style clash? And this 3-rounder from We Go Hard was ceratinly that as Chef Trez with ominous barrel of piercing gun bars, sublime off-the-dome heat and gritty punchlines faces off against the aggressive, personal-lit, witty and entertaining polemics of Gunpowder Patt. A close one throughout, despite a pretty solid and hard-hitting opening round from Trez (that was spoiled a lit bit due to Chef taking a bit too long to land the punch), Patt’s colorful angles, humorous stylings and clever/steely punchlines edges Gunpowder the round. And then the Chef got to cooking. Landing a boatload of fly name flips and a handful of fierce rebuttals to go along with a gang of raucous punches/gun bars, Trez would do just enough to edge round 2 over an opponent who cane with it when it it came ill braggadocius lines, more crazy wit and fiery street anthems. Tied going into the 3rd in front of a rocking WGH crowd, even while dialing back a bit on the rebuts, Trez would still score at will via a rich palette of robust punchlines, some hitting personals and well-finessed wordplay to take the 3rd and get the win over a G.P. who while still compettiive, just seemed to run out of steam when it came to landing as many haymakers as he did in the previous rounds.

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Catch steel from Chef, you know what’ll happen at point blank if I squeeze bitch?, I’ll get blood on my gun, marinera falling off a chopper…it’s a cheese stick!”
Recap: Chef Trez versus Showoff. Security guard verssus security guard. ARP interrupting battles as usual…it’s all there for 3 rounds on RBE and it was a dope one. Showoff, aggressive, boastful and gritty as usual with his trademark ‘lingo’, delivered a standout performance with a gang of bodaciosu street raps, some sizzling wordplay, a couple of fire rebuttals, some straight ‘talking to’ personals (esp. in round 3) and a boatload of steely punches. While Trez, battling on RBE for the first time in awhile, came through with a shitload of fire punchlines, crazy name flips, hard-hitting personals, spicy schemes and of course, a handful of head-ringimg rebuttals. All in all, another ‘Blue room’ goodie, but at the end of the day it’s the more consistently-lit and haymaker-friendly Trez who manages to take all 3 rounds to score a shutout.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Quit bluffing, nigga all that tough seem fake, with that same blade I’ll pick ya side, we running screenplays!”
Recap: From URL’s ‘Outside 2’ card, a fire 3-rounder between Nu Jerzey Twork and Chef Trez features the latter utilizing a gang of rambunctious set-up/punchlines, stifling gun bars, witty/hard-hitting personals and righteous mayhem to make his mark. While the always-on-point Chef offered up a sizzling plate mixed with a boatload of piercing rebuttals, gritty (“Put a ratchet behind Twork, y’all know bitches like to dance with each other!”) punches, head-ringing gunplay and flexing name flips/wordplay to stay in the game. Close all the way though, a slightly more cohesive and less flow-challenged Trez would edge round 1 before an equally efficient punchfest from both sides would add up to a debatable 2nd round. The final 3rd round in a battle that never lacked for entertainment and crazy bars, would get edged by the slightly more haymaker-lit Twork thus making this one a debatable.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “You is a weirdo and a fucking fraud, wasn’t you just over there with RBE doing a bunch of cards?, he seen URL on Caffiene with celebrities & he said ‘What’s up with y’all?!‘”
Recap: From URL’s ‘Redemption’ card, former Bullpen Battle Leageu star Chef Trez faces off with BBL owner John John Da Don and as expected it’s a highly personal one that also featured a shitload of dope punches from both battlers. Add to the mix plenty of righteous pontificating and rigid name flips from JJDD and of course, a handful of spicy rebuttals and hitting gun bars from Trez and this matchup stayed competitive throughout. However, while the curious battle fan certainly got their fix what with all the accusations John John and Trez hurled at each other on why their business relationship frayed, as for the battle itself outside of a debatable 2nd round, it’s a more steady punching and slightly haymaker-landing Trez who takes the 1st and 3rd rounds for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “…but y’all know Muslims wake up before sunrise and thank God, so why wouldn’t I use the Don as prey [pray]!”
Recap: SMH. Doesn’t matter how confident you are in your skills, choosing to go 1st against argubaly the best rebuttler in the game never makes sense. But the Chef taught him tho, delivering yet another lit recipe of stinging punchlines and a trio of nasty rebuttals during a killer round 1, before comimg back with a steaming plate of piercing off-the-dome heat, sizzling gun bars, seismic name flips and hard-hitting punches to handily take the next two rounds and score the 30 over a passionate and hitting at times, but mostly pedestrian Tom Nixon in this 3-rounder from Takeova Battle Leageu.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You all the way bitch, not just kind of scary, Nixon [Nick son] same out pussy…Mariah Carey!”
Recap: From Major League Battles, a gritty, condensed and punch-heavy round 1 by Philly-to-Florida battler Ghost is efficient enough to make for a tie with a just as potent Chef Trez. But afterwards it’s all Trez as the ATL vet uses a steady barrage of lofty gun bars, fiending name flips, steely punchlines and well-versed freestyles/rebuttals to handily take both of the latter rounds over a solid, but not as formidable effort from his opponent and gain the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Don’t start bor, ‘cuz once the Tek pop, we disrespect blocks, i just can’t stop sliding y’all…I’m in fresh socks!”

While the unorthodox wordplay, galiant schemes, rigid streams and flexing set-ups/punches/rebuts/name flips of Shi Dog stood tall as well. A close bout throughout with the two battlers splitting the first couple of rounds, it’s the slightly more haymaker-lit and versatile Trez who ends up taking the 3rd for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You named yourself Shi Dog, that explains right out the gate why you never had barf!”
Recap: The final score doesn’t dictate it, but for the most part a strong showing here from Nunn Nunn in this URL ‘Civil War 3’ match against Chef Trez. The North Carolina vet using slick humor, a gang of gritty punchlines, some solid rebuttals and some hitting personals to stay competitive. But as it turns out Trez was just too much here. The Chef cooking up a hot plate of fire gun bar, stinging freestyles/rebuttals (including 3 of them things in round 1 to edge the opener), crazy set-up/punchlines, brash storytelling, piercing ‘Nunn Nunn/Hunger Games’ name flips and robust wordplay/similes to score a Gentleman’s 30.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I even got young’un’s to shoot for me so it’d be sort of cool, cuz the little nigga’s under Chef carry more than Jordan Poole!”
Recap: Never seen the Chef get violent before. But in this last-minute (both of their original opponents no-showed) 1-rounder from DHBL, outside of a couple of unsportsmanlike penalties, a pretty hyped Trez gathers himself enough to spout a slew of hard-hitting personals, some sick rebuttals, stinging punchlines and a gang of potent freestyles to beat back the aggressive and sometimes hitting stylings of an Afro Kenobi who clearly lacked the off-the-dome ability of Trez and basically used the same rhymes he had for his original opp.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Who you teaching?, you dress like a substitute!”
Recap: In this 1-rounder from DHBL, Chef Trez uses a consistent diet of fiery gun bars, lethal 4-bar set-ups and gritty punchlines/wordplay to handily beat back an earnest and hitting at times, but most;y subpar with the punches Megladon.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0

Recap: Against a performance-stunting but less consistently bar-heavy Presidential Dubz, a more steady with the handle Chef Trez uses a plethora of fiery gun bars, sick wordplay, gritty 4-bar set-ups and piercing punchlines to get the win in this 1-rounder from the Fight Back Arena.

Recap: One-rounder from Body Bag Battle League sees South Carolina emcee C Dot pull up with a strong showing that was littered with a bunch of fierce 4-bar set-up/punchlines, spicy personals and gritty name flips. However, coming off the long overdue announcement that he’s finally returning to URL, Chef Trez puts the celebration aside and with a gang of filthy gun bars, a fistful of off-the-dome bangers, potent name flips of his own and a slightly more steady fleet of mayhem-rich punches, it’s the more haymaker-lit Trez for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Aim then squeeze next, it’s on-sight and me putting Dot on the gun is just a reflex!”
Recap: From URL’s Final Exams card, Chef Trez makes yet another return to Smack and it’s a dope one as opponent Awthentic gives the ATL vet all he can handle. The Connecticut spitter scoring left and right with a buttery, floetic cadence that produced a nice mix of greasy name flips, spirited 4-bar set-up/punchlines and gritty gun bars/personals. And while Awthentic did have some near reaches here and there and almost caught a slip-up in round 2 (which he had enough haymakers/rebuttals to edge), all in all the former Crucible battler certainly kept it competitive throughout, thus making the Chef work for this one. Which he did, displaying a workmanlike performance via a versatile game plan that featured a plethora of piercing heat, fiery punchlines/name flips, hitting personals of his own, nimble at times but effective wordplay, gritty similes, aggressive boasts and of course, steely off-the-dome polemics for all the Trez fans out there expecting such, all the while edging rounds 1 and 3 for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1

Recap: From GTX, giving the fans what they craved with spicy rebuttal games unleashed on both sides, after a debatable round 1, punch-for-punch it’s a wordplay-lit Chef Trez who flexes more, out-scoring and outlasting a pretty solid effort from The Saurus to take both of the latter rounds for the win in what was a competitive 3-rounder.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Paul, Peter, Roll, I’m snatching hope from him, but I’ll never rob Peter to pay Paul…I’m getting both of ’em!”
Recap: From 7 Shark Cities Rap Battle League, steady and confident with his brash street raps throughout, that coupled with a mix of steely wit and gritty name flips/personals flexed his versatility, up-n-comer Yung Riddick manages to out-punch and edge a gritty, gun bar-lit and pretty solid Chef Trez (thanks in part to a trio of dem things Trez would edge the 3rd) in the 1st couple of rounds, earn the win and pull off an upset.
Verdict: Yung Riddick (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Yung Riddick – “I punch different, but bitch you better pray to God that I don’t come to you with open hands!”
Recap: A gritty and competitive 3-rounder from WarTown Battles filled to the rim with a host of flexing gun bars, real street talk and piercing punchlines, after a slightly punch-heavier Kidd Nyheem takes round 1, leave it up to a more condensed Chef Trez to add some fiery name flips and hard-hitting (including a dope one at the end of his 3rd) rebuttals to the mix to edge each of the latter two rounds and gain the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You hella light, I’ll let it ring and let off shots if you too amped, you’ll get hit teh wildest couple…Marriage Boot Camp!”
Recap: In this crazy 1-rounder from League of Championship Kulture, an impressive performance by Leo Bronze, who with a barrage of sizzling punchlines, gritty street talk, fire similes, witty (Leo Bronze: “You don’t even got your own face, fake-ass Ja Morant!”) personals/angles and a fiery cameo appearance from his 7yo daughter, let you know that he came to win, gets measured up by a dope showing from Chef Trez. Who with a quartet of hitting rebuttals, piercing gun bars, well-armed name flips and plenty of stinging punches of his own, does just enough to earn a draw.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “We all know about the law of attraction, and by naming yourself Bronze you already took away that number one spot!!”
Recap: Able to withstand his opponent Alpha AR’s theme music intro, some serious Calicoe vibes when it comes to his raps and some out-of-nowhere personals that were just weird, outside of a close round 2, Chef Trez uses a gang of mayhem-rich punches, festive name flips, spicy rebuttals and stinging personals/gun bars to handily get the 30 in this 3-rounder from DHBL.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Bullets will go through AR abs like a Philly nigga!”
Recap: In a close 3-round GTX battle that was littered with blazing gun bars throughout, in both the 1st and 3rd rounds Saynt takes advantage of an off-the-dome light and less potent with the punches Chef Trez (who surprisingly enough was at his best with the personals here), with a slightly more consistent set-up/punch game that edges the aforementioned rounds for the win.
Verdict: Saynt (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Saynt – “Now everybody’s a gremlin, let this bitch test me, I’ll put this gremlin in a box, that’s a NFT!”
Recap: Drop Da Rula starts off solid with a bunch of fiery gun bars and gritty wordplay/punches here and there. But in this down South 1-round “in Da Kitchen” card, Rula’s struggles with his flow as well as subpar bars during the latter half of his round to go along with a Chef Trez unloading on his opponent with a barrage of damaging name flips, stinging punchlines, spicy rebuttals and piercing set-ups/gun lines gives the Chef yet another win on the ledger.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Your punches like putting your grandparents on your job application…a bunch of old references!”
Recap: Choosing to go first against a rebuttal/freestyle elite like Chef Trez seems to be putting yourself at a disadvantage. But having seen the brash wizardry of Skinny Man Bang against Swamp in the past, one can’t be too surprised. And with a boatload of aggressive punches, gritty wordplay and flexing gun bars, just as ge did versus Swamp, SMB kept it competitive (even edging round 2 here). However, even on a day that saw him surprisingly fail to recollect his bars midway through the 3rd round, Trez being Trez never loses control while sizing up the room to immediately switch to freestyle mode and with a gang of steely off-the-dome heat takes the deciding final round (after edging the 1st) for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You called me God in the face-off, so why try me now?, your mind is sick, but now you thinking you gonna catch a Godbody?, I don’t think he in that 5 percent!”

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You can’t get the drop on me, my reaction time on Gwitty level!”
Recap: Some hard bars, witty lines and plenty of aggression from That Nigga Rob, but in this 3-rounder from Battle Coliseum, it’s Chef Trez’s consistent barrage of piercing gun bars, mayhem-lit punches and stirred-up rebuttals that ends giving the Chef a 30.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “What’s sad is, i’m just having fun this battle while I’m murking you, like Shaq is rapping, I make Magic happen, this gonna be a thirty too [32]!”
Recap: In this 1-rounder from The Riot, while Rio Nkosi’s OG stylings and righteous punches got better during the second half of his round, altogether the ATL battler’s gritty raps still didn’t maintain near enough heat to keep up with Chef Trez’s more consistently piercing punchlines, hitting personals and stifling wordplay/set-ups.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I never been the Safari type, that’s why I’m so quick to load my Chrome!”
Recap: A bit of an oldie from Street Status, but a 3-rounder between MVP and Chef Trez that was still a goodie as the former’s plethora of gritty punches and rich similes kept things close and even had him edging the opening round. However, with an always prepared Trez rocking the crowd and his opponent with a consistent barrage of piercing name flips, spicy rebuttals, fiery gun bars, sizzling punchlines and to top things off, a crazy freestyle coming off a mid-round fight that broke out in the crowd in round 3, it’s the Chef who delivers more than enough treats to take rounds 2 and 3 for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I’m dumping shots, but I’ll put the gun down ‘cuz I could fucking box, weave game better than a bitch that club a lot!”
