Recap: Xcel and Jey Bundy make a little battle rap history as the first participants to battle on the TrapHouse NY stage. And while the newbies displayed some flaws here and there (Xcel’s 2nd round was mad tedious, while Bundy struggled with his flow in the 3rd), a boatload of lyrical stunting by Xcel and Bundy’s solid punches and wit made for a mostly competitive battlewith the more haymaker-lit Xcel scoring a 30.
Verdict: Xcel (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Xcel – “Your kind?, pork belly, yunno the squeal type, I’m King Cobra, I strike venom in all these real mics!”
