Recap: Mostly making use of (“You mad sweet, only time Chef peel off with the burners is [for] banana souffle!”) jokes, it’s an oft-solid turn by UK rapper Magz, but Chef Trez’s stifling barrage of rich jokes, delicious set-ups, aggressive (“I got a Mag and a mag for ya bitch, either I’m fucking something or I’m clutching something!”), name flips and fiending wordplay prove to be too much in this one-rounder from Don’t Flop.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Your sister a thot, she could suck the evil out of Ouija boards!”
Recap: Syah stays competitive with some nice name flips, (“They ain’t really want me to Black here, this some Oscar shit!”; “You should hire a new manager and stop staring at me for real, matter fact hire Norbes, at least he can tell you what can happen over a grill!”) punches and winsome (“Any thoughts of running up on me, just dead it now, I sleep with more .45’s [4, 5’s] and .9’s [9’s] than a pedophile!”) gun bars throughout his three rounds. But other than a close 2nd, none of Syah’s turns could stand up to Chef Trez’s ever-flowing (“Your mom’s mom dead, for grams of 40…moon rocks!”) heat and rich performance. Indeed, a constant barrage of fiery personals, frenzied (“You only talk, you ain’t about action, I know what dog ’bout, like a freak bitch on her period, you all mouth!”) haymakers, dope set-ups and fluorescent (“The gat spitting, but when this bitch touch you, you won’t catch feelings, I told him I’mma hit you with a clean nina, but gave him a dirty .40…I’m cat-fishing!”) wordplay that reminded us all that Trez more than belongs on the big stage–and that’s no gassin’.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You been battling for how long and still got no fame?!, you John John Homeboy nigga…that’s your name!”
Recap: Wow! Two of the South’s best, Chef Trez and R Streetz, put on what has to be one of 2016’s finest battles, going toe-for-toe with an equal parlance for lyrical acumen, while also delivering a gang of crazy, dope punchlines/similes, piercing name flips, some scheming personals, boastful shiners and hard-hitting gun bars. Oh yeah, and the wordplay was on point throughout as well. That said, with each round being super tight and nary a slip-up (we’ll chalk up a slight 2nd round hiccup by Streetz on Trez talking while he rapped) from either battler, Streetz’s ability to get a little more versatile and witty in the 2nd round and come with a slightly more condensed 3rd, all the while equating his ever-gunning opponent on haymakers, gives him the edge (after he got edged by Trez in the 1st) in both of the latter rounds for the win.
Verdict: R Streetz (W) 2-1
Favorite line: R Streetz – “You’re not the best, get it clear, catch him in traffic…buck at the front of his car like he hit a deer!”
Recap: Coma is aggressive, witty and perceptive, but spends way too much time (“You’re just another fake-ass rapper that’s responsible for all the kids who got a sentence, but couldn’t read one!”) pontificating here in this Don’t Flop matchup against Chef Trez, who in turn is given plenty of time to cook and dish out his usual rounds of spitfire gun bars, flatline (“You said you ain’t been drunk in years?, I’ll give you a shit from the .40 to bring your past back!”) rebuttals and persistent punches. Ironically, even though Trez was a last-minute replacement, the only thing that saves Coma from getting 3-0’d is Trez tripping over himself free-styling in round 3.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I got a head head, don’t be the one I get to airing on, ‘cuz I’ll come to ya block and blow in the crib like the air is on, have you and bitch in the same casket…sharing stones!”
Recap: Chef Trez dominates this one, using a variety of fire schemes, action packed gun bars, piercing name flips and a gang of rigid punchlines to easily beat a mostly subpar Mr 16 over the course of 3 rounds in this one-sided battle from ATL’s Cage Rap Battles.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “See, I’m past nice, on this battle scene this gonna be your last night, your father left you so I’ll pop you and leave…you lost your dad twice!”
Recap: Less filler, more potent (“The kid strapped over all [overall], but I don’t see the menace in Dennis”) rhymes, sanguine angles/set-ups and a few (“”You a bitch, so stay in ya place like a ho should, I use the toast good and I’ll raise and let it go like ‘Welcome to Adulthood’!”) haymakers mixed in gets Spit Dat Heat’s Chef Trez the first two rounds and a win over the ever aggressive and (“The kick back done left my wrist damaged, so like I’m using tally marks, I can’t help but draw the fifth slanted!”) bar-heavy, but this time around less consistent Dre Dennis.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez -“This left [holds up left fist]? Chinese porn, it get nasty with the chin!”
Recap: Despite Milton Bloe’s constant interruptions and need for screen time, this battle along with a B-Magic strictly on his A-game is still worth a see. And after getting edged in the 1st round, thanks in part to yet another nice (“You said, I’m the Chef, I should be used to long caps, well you Magic so when I pull something outta one, it shouldn’t be a surprise!”) rebuttal from the hard-punching (“Rib shot, bullets go through your side like the front door was locked!”) Chef Trez, Magic’s spitfire (“Round [around] 2, I’m eating like late lunches!”; “This fucker gonna die quick, see the ratchet, busting out the window, it ain’t a side bitch!”) punchlines dominate round 2, before he takes the last round with more consistent (“I made a song about the ratchet, called ‘I Hit It First!'”) heat and a higher overall bar quotient.
Verdict: B-Magic (W) 2-1
Favorite line: B-Magic – “Blow ya chest across the room like ya crib haunted!”
Recap: Solid turn by (“Don’t talk that trap shit to me neither, I done sold all kind of things, nigga we went through more bowls than one of your favorite college teams!”) Grandaddy Purp gets over overrun by a more (“I heard you fuck with young bitches, so don’t start with me, you famous for making kids cum [come]…Walt Disney!”) diverse and systematically nice Chef Trez in this one-rounder from Ball Hogg Battle League.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I’ll give you a thousand dollars, then kill you, when I blam, fam in hell, Ninja Turtle shit…you’ll get a Bandana [bam then] shell!”
Recap: An AngryFan Radio 1-rounder between J. Murda and Chef Trez goes the latter’s way as the Chef’s more intricate punches, pointed mayhem and well-finessed wordplay work together to easily beat back Murda’s righteous boasts and mostly pedestrian forms of mayhem.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I’m strapped up, just know that I’m always close to the .44 like Michelle Obama!”
Recap:‘That shit was barbaric!’ Granted, (“It ain’t your turn yet, but you need to wait, like a skinny body, boy I’m shooting Nebraska initials…that’s N E body!”) Chef Trez and (“Nigga, you extra tender, I’ll knock two years out your ass, you won’t wake up till next next November!”; “You throw a lot of punches, but still ain’t doing shit with ’em nigga, you Dragon Fly Jones!”) Craig Lamar can certainly claim a barfest of a battle in this fiery matchup on the Spit Dat Heat stage. But at the end of the day it’s Trez’s more intricate wordplay, flagrant (“I’ll shoot ya mom’s and her son, I’m a pipe gripper, U F [F’d] C I told you I was trung ti fight Silva!”) gun bars, freestyle pedigree and consistent heat that altogether prove to be more advantageous than his opponent, edging him all three rounds and a well-earned win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “…or none of them gun bars, and I’m a get mad if y’all really believe it, I’ll blow your brain threw your grill when I squeeze it, you’ll be spilling ya insides threw ya mouth like revealing a secret!”
Recap: Upon dishing punch after punch laced with repeated fire, Chef Trez sums this one-rounder versus Riggz better than I can: ‘You pretty a-ight, but for the most part you rap with filler’.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0 Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I’m a gun holder, you about to take a dirt nap bitch, I done put more nigga’s in box since them thirst trap pics!”
Recap: With a fly rap name like Tommy Fishscale, one can’t be faulted for thinking he’d come better here than a couple of slip-ups and a boatload of very basic raps. Thus, making it much easier for a punch-heavy, wordplay-lit and heavily armed Chef Trez to easily win this 1-rounder from AngryFan Radio.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “The ratchet mounted and stay clapping like club ho’s, I’ll grab a second gun and let a couple arms come together like a love pose!”
Recap: Good thing a consistently (“You asked for this shit, now you killed by your dad, a sleepy nigga tried to cross the road and got killed by a jag!”) nice with his Chef Trez got to go first in this one-rounder from Spit Dat Heat, as Sleepy Haze’s lackluster bars would’ve literally had everyone in a slumber by the time it was Trez’s turn. That said, props to Milton Bloe tho for making Haze feel like he even belonged on the same stage with his clearly superior opponent.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Now I ain’t saying you light, but as far as you being nice, I’m ain’t convinced at all, I’ll split his jaw, stand up and lean Sleepy like I’m drifting off!”
Recap: Figuratively speaking, Chef Trez versus Fliiko L is almost like a mirror match, what with both battlers love for salacious (Trez: “I’m talking about when I cock it, it look like I’m pulling on a stuck drawer!”) gun bars, steely aggression with ethir punches, (Fliiko L: “Nigger, you a rookie, I’m a vet, remind me of a little ass girl…ain’t get a body yet!”) boastful shiners/personals, similar builds and dark complexions. The outcome of this competitive 3-rounder, however, wouldn’t be a debatable as Trez’s more intricate bars, well crafted angles/schemes, richer performance and consistency with the heat would get him the 1st and 3rd rounds for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Look bitch, I ain’t trying to wrestle, but you better clutch your toast, but with a beam, I’ll put a bright dot on black…that’s Dusty Rhodes!”
Recap: Facing an opponent in fellow up-n-comer in Polo Boy, who was able enough to score some shiners here and there (yet took way too long to reach his punches at times before choking in the final round), Chef Trez has little problem dishing a 3-0 on his opponent with a barrage of dizzying punchlines, nice (“I’ll erase [racist] this block like a hood full of clan killers!”) worplay and crazy name flips throughout his 3 rounds.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Punk please, I learned from the older nigga’s, you’ll catch two rounds and get a slice through one like a Toyta symbol!”
Recap: Young rookie goes up against the older vet as Chef Trez battles Automatic Ray in a fiery, one-rounder from Spit Dat Heat. Ray, apparently motivated by Trez not giving him enough credit for putting him on, puts on a solid show, dispensing winsome punchlines and engaging (“You think your bitch is being faithful?, I bet if I meet her I can hit it, Street Fighter bonus stage, she gonna see the whip and try to kick it!”) wordplay with ease, while kindly (“You got booked in a couple of states, ok, that’s fine…but I’ve made more off these kids than Danny Myers at tax time!”)…reminding his opponent of his place in the game. Indeed, a solid round from Ray that only dipped when some punches either lacked pizzazz or came off elementary. Still, a hard turn to follow up, but Trez more than put in that work. Using some crazy (“Listen Ray, you can’t son a nigga that’s sonning nigga’s, gun will hitt’cha, for that bread, this square will get his head shot…Wanted picture!”) wordplay, filthy (“I was in the whip with a Smith-n-Wesson, with a dozen round mag, waiting on him to leave with his team, when I see him I’m dumping everything out that bitch, somebody gonna bleed on the scene, that’s 1 gun, 1 clip, 12 bullets, I feel like making a song while I’m squeezing that thing, I see him, now 112 [one .12] blasting out the car like I’m bumping ‘Peaches and Cream’!”) schemes, potent gun bars, nice set-ups and hitting (“You too aggressive, in the shop throwing temper tantrums, well calm your nerves or I’ll [reaches hand out like gun] 10 per tantrum”) personals that hit their mark, it’s the yung’un who shines brighter in what was pretty dope battle.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Ray said he’ll grab his Mac, dump it and blaze it, fat fuck, better off saying you got a sag lunch with bacon, I’ll grab pumps or lay Tek’s [latex]and bust, that condoms breaking and hit him with a K [‘k’] like that’s the end of that conversation!”
Recap: Chef Trez had to really earn this one as opponent Killa (who took the 3rd round) would bring with him plenty of banging gun bars and some fierce punchlines/wordplay to keep things competitive throughout the battle. But the always cocked and loaded Trez, takes this battle in the end, enlisting a boatload of head-twisting heat of his own when he wasn’t also scoring with fervent punchlines/schemes and piercing name flips in the first couple of rounds for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I’m out here, trying to party with tools, letting my hammer dance, you trash below waist, I’ll air ya bottoms…Hammer pants!”
Recap: Besides a couple of unintentionally funny sounds and barks from Jorilla G, there really wasn’t much to see here as both Jorilla and the man formerly known as Genesis Trez kicked a wide load of very basic and subpar bars throughout this 3-rounder from BYOB. Still, it’s the eternally gun bar blasting Trez, while failing to really spout anything substantive round 3, who gets away with a 30 thanks to an underwhelming effort that happened get matched with an even worse one.
Verdict: Genesis Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Genesis Trez – “When it comes down to it, y’all squeeze off hammers?, please dog can it, ‘cuz I got police dogs cannons, K’s, 9’s, spit and kick crazy like retard tantrums!”
Recap: T-Top is your host, the 3rd round seems to be missing and Hitz bullies his way into going first, but none of that matters as Chef Trez’s jaunty performance bars and feening wordplay are more than enough to take the two rounds seen here.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez -“You a bully right, well try something, I’m that quiet kid in Science, but I bet you ain’t know I got of chemistry and gripping [grip in] iron!”
