Hollaluyah Jones defeats Lootchi

Recap: Perhaps Dunsh, but other than him dare you to say there’s a more entertaining battle rapper these days than Hollaluyah Jones. The Queens, NY battler singing, exploiting his Wyclef connection, getting spicy with the personals, providing boisterous and witty storytelling and spouting a gang of piercing name flips/punchlines towards opponent Lootchi (who gave a subpar at times, but earnest, aggresive and hardbody effort throughout his turn) for one round on We Go Hard and earning the win.

Verdict: Hollaluyah Jones (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Hollaluyah Jones – “And your bitch a thot too, I really, really, really popped it, you need to really, really stop it, big pussy hole, felt like putting my hand in a hoodie pocket!”

Hollaluyah Jones defeats Heavy Half

Recap: Struggling a bit with his flow after a stellar round 1, but still able to deliver some mean name flips, witty barbs that included a few freestyles and rigid personals/storytelling bars that for the most part hit, after the two split the first two rounds, Hollaluyah Jones is also able to take advantage of a Heavy Half choke and spout a shortened, but punch-steady and clean 3rd round for the win in this 3-rounder from Smoke Room Battle League.

Verdict: Hollaluyah Jones (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Hollaluyah Jones – “I used to hide crack in my teeth, that was white on top of the gum, I really had an over bite!”

Hollaluyah Jones defeats True Indeed

Recap: Entertaining and at times highly personal 1-rounder from We Go Hard sees True Indeed get busy with some spicy angles that when intertwined with a bunch of hard-hitting personals directed at opponent Hollaluyah Jones and rapper Staccs (looking on in the crowd), made for a pretty solid effort. But the ever zealous and performance-lit Jones, helped by a couple of fire rebuttals but also scoring with a gang of rambunctious punchlines/4-bar set-ups, some solid name flips, witty storytelling, fiery personals of his own and scrumptious wordplay, earns the win here.

Verdict: Hollaluyah Jones (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Hollaluyah Jones – “I’ll kill you Indeed, where’s the work?, I promise nigga, gun to ya face, not Truthfully speaking he an honest nigga!”

Hollaluyah Jones defeats Bedaffi Green

Recap: Readily known for his charisma and wit, but over time becoming a dope puncher as well, a versatile (the spicy name flips, salacious food references and graphic mayhem also stood out here), a more haymaker-lit Hollaluyah Jones takes both of the opening rounds of this 3-round We Go Hard battle to get the win, before opponent Bedaffi Green (who outside of being a bit flow-challenged, excelled in the 1st before coming through with a bit of a lackluster 2nd) saves his strongest and most punch-lit round for the 3rd to edge that turn over yet another pretty solid effort from Jones and avoid the shutout.

Verdict: Hollaluyah Jones (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Hollaluyah Jones – “Random…why Haitain’s always got a first name for a last name?, it be some shit like Jean Michael Jean or some shit like St. Michael Paul, but I still fuck with y’all!”

Hollaluyah Jones defeats Raccs


Recap: Already blessed with some expansive wit, Hollaluyah Jones adds some rich storytelling lines, explosive gun bars, gritty punchlines and some fierce name flips to take each round of this URL matchup versus a gritty, street-laced and vivid, but also flow-challenged and less substantive with the bars Raccs.

Verdict: Hollaluyah Jones (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Hollaluyah Jones – “URL, look at me, I’m what Big T would’ve been if he ever started fucking bad bitches!”

Hollaluyah Jones and Budds [DEBATABLE]

Recap: CT vs. NY, spitfire 1-rounder from We Go Hard sees the gritty, bullish at times and punchline-savvy bars from Budds go bar-for-bar with the oft-witty, performance-rich and (“Fat nigga with a smooth shot, kick like Ong Bak, clip sterilized…URL ain’t the only nigga shooting on a rooftop!”) wordplay/punch-lit styling’s of Hollaluyah Jones. Also featuring a raucous cameo from Bangz and a handful of over-the-top haymakers from each side, with each battler bringing an equal amount of versatility, efficiency and potency with their raps, the only winner here is the crowd that got to see this one up close.

Verdict: Debatable 

Favorite line: Budds – “Arm on an 80…I ain’t helping grandma cross the street!”

Henny #3 defeats Hollaluyah Jones

Recap: “I used to sell wet Timbaland’s!” LOL!!! I know that line was just part of the set-up, but the way Hollaluyah Jones crafted it and left it in the air before finishing the punch was just brilliant. Still, a close and competitive 1-rounder here between Jones and Henny #3, while showcasing the former’s piercing wit and skill for dope name flips/performance-rich punches, also featured an overall strong, gun bar-heavy, mayhem-friendly and gritty punchline showing from the latter, leading to the more haymaker-lit Henny to earn the win.

Favorite line: Henny #3 – “We gonna ride on him, hide on him, one round to wash this boy, put the Tide on him, code word ‘waterpark’…slide on him!”

Verdict: Sonny (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Sonny – “It’s on sight, the crowd don’t even know which ratchet I’m walking in with…it’s prom night!”

Hollaluyah Jones defeats Dizzy Spadez

Recap: From Spittaz League, he didn’t receive the Jordan’s from his opponent for his baby that he’s been looking for, but a sublime, punch-heavy, super well-crafted and versatile 2nd round after a condensed, gritty, bar-efficient and personal/punchline-lit 1st by Hollaluyah Jones gets the Queens battler the win here in this 3-rounder over a brazen, performance-stunting and gift-giving, but elongated and topsy-turvy (till round 3, which he edged) run by Dizzy Spadez.
