Geechi Gotti defeats Jey The Nitewing

by

Recap: Well, if you’re going to freestyle a whole round, Geechi Gotti can show you how to do it. After splitting the first two rounds with the righteous punching, angle-lit (esp. during a dope 2nd round centered around Geechi’s hair extension business that he edged) and activist-bent Jey The Nitewing, an openly peeved Gotti surprisingly takes the risk of going off the dome (no pulling out the phone during your round here) for his entire 3rd and it works. The gritty, gang shit/street rhyme-laced rapper putting aside the usual smoke for a fierce roasting session/scolding of his opponent that with a bunch of witty personals and too-real disses on his battle career that with a couple of spicy rebuttals, helped Gotti edge the final round (after out-punching Jey in the 1st) and take the 3rd round of this entertaining and competitive Traffic 6 matchup brought to you by URL.

Verdict: Geecho Gotti (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Geechi Gotti – “Swing on me, you’ll get shot, I bet you’ll make the floor quicker than you ever did!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Father Focus Confucius

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from No Coast Raps, Jey The Nitewing crafts out a vociferous and steady barrage of flagrant name flips, gripping 1, 2 set-up/punchlines and charismatic boasts to make the most of his 5 or 6 minutes of rhymes and get the win over a consistently gritty, but too often dry-spot bent Father Focus Confucius.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “I ain’t believing shit, oh he did time too?, probably beat his bitch!”

Bigg K defeats Jey The Nitewing

by
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_-AJYb74Yg

Recap: From Voices of Battle Rap, devoting his trio of rounds to a gang of witty barbs, stifling personals/wordplay, bullish street darts, piercing punchlines and of course (since he was facing a ‘URL rapper’) pointed zingers at his old URL home, even in light of a pretty solid (esp. with the name flips) 3 turns by opponent Jey The Nitewing, a more consistently blazing Bigg K pulls off the 30.

Verdict: Bigg K (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Bigg K – “I’m direct, knowing he a sucker, you big ass, spam eating Samoan muthafucka!”

Loso defeats Jey The Nitewing

by

Recap: In this app exclusive 3-rounder from URL, a highly versatile and even vexed at times Loso uses a bunch of hard-hitting/witty personals, rigid, set-up lit punchlines, righteous heaters/name flips, rich metaphors and rigid schemes/fiery Christian-laced darts to score a 30 over the moody stylinsg of the Mad King, who after a strong start in round 1, struggled with his flow to point of choking away his 3rd.

Verdict: Loso (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Loso – “You some logic, we ain’t battling ‘cuz you popping, I only took this plate for the chicken, Wing stop it, you nodded, your stock started dropping, fans dying for you to stop, but you rather Travis Scott it!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Phonetic

by

Recap: Battling a fan of yours has got to be a little awkward, no? Still Alaskan battler Phonetic, an admitted admirer of his opponent Jey The Nitewing, puts on a strong showing in this Juneau Rap Battle League 3-rounder what with charismatic storytelling, solid name flips and witty/piercing personals throughout a run that outside some longwinded sermonizing kept him competitive. But despite a solid, yet somewhat lacksadaisical 2nd round (which forced a debatable there) and a near choke in round 3, Nitewing’s trip to The Last Frontier wouldn’t be a waste as the Mad King’s boatload of stinging punchlines/schemes, sharp wordplay, rigid name flips and witty barbs/personals would get him the win in rounds 1 and 3 for the vic.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “Being this far North, I bet you thought it was all milk and cookies when they locked us in, but if you that close to the Pole, use the whole Mag ‘netic, you can’t be too positive!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Cortez

by

Recap: In this URL/Super Fight 5 matchup between Cortez and Jey The Nitewing, Tez’s standard spurts of mayhem and daunting gun bars fail to pack enough heat to keep up with Nitewing’s wide array of mocking/witty personals (which included a stellar impression of NY street discourse in round 2), stinging name flips and righteous wordplay/darts/screeds, thus (outside of a debatable 2nd) giving Jey the 1st and 3rd rounds for the win.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “The closest he ever been to field nigga’s is crying in the whip!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats The Saurus

by

Recap: Styling throughout on his opponent’s battle rap legacy with a bunch of mocking/dismissive personals, but also scoring with a gang of hitting name flips and piercing punches, in a Skytier Northwest battle that outside of round 1 wasn’t really close, Jey The Nitewing handily beats back The Saurus, who after a punch-heavy opening round, went downhill pretty quickly afterwards when it came to bar efficiency.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “They call you legendary, well bitch I’m lack intolerant!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Kid Chaos

by

Recap: From URL’s Civil War card, a bunch of dope schemes and solid punches/gun bars/personals over the course of rounds by Kid Chaos made this battle competitive. But outside of a minor slip-up in round 1 (which was equated by KC in the opener), this one was all Jey The Nitewing. The Washington battler commanding the stage with not only sinister pauses before he spoke, but a gang of mocking personals, killer style breakdowns/name flips, righteous punchlines, witty barbs and brazen lyrical shiners to take all 3 rounds (round 2 was the closest) for an impressive win.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “I could get straight to the ‘head shot!’ or wait for the anticipation to grow, it’s like a gun on the table…my presence alone can change the way you approach!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Danny Myers

by

Recap: From URL’s Born Legacy Northwest card, putting on a movie for a lit Seattle crowd that was into the battle from jump, Danny Myers and Jey The Nitewing give the fans their money’s worth with a gang of gritty punchlines, spirited mayhem and boastful barbs that kept the battle close and spicy throughout. However, while Danny added some solid rebuttals to the mix, for the first couple of rounds Jey’s hard-hitting/mocking personals, fire metaphors/analytical schemes and slightly more consistent darts would be the difference, allowing Mr. Nitewing to take the first two rounds for the win before a stellar and more punch-heavy turn by Danny in round 3 would prevent the shutout.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “I gotta answer to these people, you don’t, that’s the difference between being a God and a King!”

Ave defeats Jey The Nitewing

by

Recap: In what was a crazy punchfest throughout (the only interruption being JTN slipping up a couple of times in round 1, tho he’d get back on his grind and take round 2), after Ave and Jey The Nitewing split the first two of rounds, a sublime 3rd rounds by both battlers gets edged by the slightly more condensed, at times righteous and name flip-savvy Ave to take this altogether dope N.O.M.E. XI 3-rounder.

Verdict: Ave (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Ave –  “Oh what, he seem clever?, ‘cuz I honestly seen better, his rhymes $2.99…how the fuck Wing’s special?!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

by


Recap: After an 8-month absence from battle rap due to a car accident, Nu Jerzey Twork’s comeback to the scene, here on a Smack Volume 7 card against Jey The Nitewing, was for a most part, a feelgood performance. Indeed, armed with a gang of mocking personals, witty bars and blistering punches/schemes that really took flight during a spitfire 2nd round, despite getting edged in round 1 to his more versatile and punch-heavy opponent, Twork’s return after two rounds was a remarkable one, not to mention a nod to hard work and perseverance after all he’s been through outside the ring of late. However, in the deciding 3rd round, Nitewing’s consistent penchant for dry wit, rudimentary rhymes that hit their mark, tight angles, nifty wordplay and virtuous personals would be too much for even Twork, who midway through his round, seemed to misplace his bars before succumbing to freestyles and then, unfortunately ‘Jersey’-ing his way to a loss.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “I’ll shoot you while you taking a shit…yeah, that’s funny when it’s thought about, it’s even when the same nigga’s is asking me to stall them out!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Rio Nkosi

by

Recap: Well, never let it be said that Rio Nkosi wasn’t the first person to pull out a sword during a rap battle. Other than that not much to see here as a seemingly exasperated at times, but righteous and punch-lit all the way through Jey The Nitewing withstands 3 rounds of longwinded, subpar rhymes from an opponent who might be better off sticking with the conscious rap scene than battling.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “This isn’t even a battle nigga, not at all, this the trailer for ya funeral, I’m just giving another monologue!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Th3 Saga

by

Recap: A couple of questionable moves in this battle between Jey The Nitewing and Th3 Saga. For instance, it seemed pretty lazy for Nitewing to run with a dated theme and dedicate an entire round (the 3rd) to his opponent’s past masturbation habits (then too, it’d be hard pressed for anyone to do anything better then what Chilla Jones did when it comes to that subject). And Saga, who seems to be having an identity crisis what with the ‘Sensai’-semantics and a severe lack of Christian-laced bars in this battle, while also choosing to forego displaying more of his witty side, despite it working well for him early in the 2nd round (which he edged). That said, outside of a dope 1st round by Nitewing, overall this battle was pretty monotonous and that says a lot considering what we know these two are capable of. Still, give the punch-heavier Nitewing the 1st and 3rd rounds for the win.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “Backseat, you got the Trey [.3], if ain’t no getting out where I’m from!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Lord Rose

by

Recap: Competitive 1-rounder from TakeOff Battle League finds Lord Rose delivering a lengthy, but pretty solid screed of raucous raps, boastful darts and tasty name flips. But a way more condensed Jet The Nitewing, scoring left and right with delicious wordplay, righteous set-ups and festive punchlines/personals/name flips and also helped too by quite a few dry spots from his opponent, gets the edge here.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “I’m from the West my nigga, but I could be so Tampa with it, crack his shit open, pick his brains, yunno, tamper with it!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Shotgun Suge

by

Recap: Rookies vs. Vets battle between Jey The Nitewing and Shotgun Suge might’ve had a different outcome if Shotgun Suge didn’t struggle with his flow and shorten his latter two rounds as Suge was coming pretty nice throughout with the name flips and punches. Then too, faced against a night-quite-on-his-A-game Jey The Nitewing who took on a more straightforward, witty and highly personal approach throughout the battle (which for the most part worked) then the more intricate punches we’re used to seeing, even with Jey taking the latter two rounds for the win, Shotgun would have every right to point the finger at himself for losing this battle.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “I seen that little bike trail you be going, yeah that shit ends at a Wendy’s!

Fonz defeats Jey The Nitewing

by

Recap: In this battle for the championship of Ultimate Madness 1, neither Fonz or Jey The Nitewingare are able to bring their A-game. But its Nitewing who seems to suffer from the 2 weeks prep worse, as the West-coast battler was way less intricate with his raps and lackadaisical with his pen throughout his 3 rounds here. Leaving Fonz, bullish as ever, but not as punch-heavy as we’ve usually seen, but still with enough bite, moxie and rigid wordplay to his raps to edge the first two rounds and gain the $25K before a debatable 3rd.  

Verdict: Fonz (W) 2-1
  
Favorite line: Fonz – “Oh, he don’t use gun bars? so how the King legacy ‘posed to continue if he too afraid to raise and air [an heir]?

Jey The Nitewing defeats Ru Bando

by

Recap: Delivering consistently piercing punchlines with doses of braggadocio heat, flagrant personals and deft wordplay, even with a pontificating/throwaway 3rd round, Jey The Nitewing still scores a 30 and beats what was opponent Ru Bando’s (his 2nd round was lit, but still had dry spots) best effort of this Ultimate Madness tournament.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “I ain’t Your Honor, this a different court pressure…adapt to it!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Lu Castro

by

Recap: Getting cut off there at the end of his 3rd round was probably a good thing for Jet The Nitewing because really, who needs another Twork impression? That said, a solid showing by Lu Castro (esp. in his opening round) here in this Ultimate Madness 1 matchup from URL. But after a debatable 1st round, while Lu’s aggression was still there, his bar efficiency would go downhill as the battle proceeded, thus leaving him handily beat by an unorthodox, wily pontificating, witty/mocking personals slinging and punchline/wordplay-spazzing Nitewing in the latter two rounds and giving Jey the win.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “I’ll cross ya arms in a coffin just outta respect, and I’ll let Twork and them know when they show up to your death, I did that ‘cuz you from the Bronx, not NWX!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Real Sikh

by

Recap: In this 3-rounder from URL/Smack’s Ultimate Madness card, a more condensed Jet The Nitewing’s more intricate punchlines, slick name flips/personals and prideful boasts combine to make quick work of Real Sikh’s hardbody, but not as consistently potent servings, thus giving Nitewing the 30.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “Either side of the bracket, I only know half these nigger’s and they stick me with the fucking fortune teller, if I wanted my hand read [red] I’d slap these nigger’s!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Dre Dennis

by

Recap: There’s levels to this shit, man. Hence, Jey The Nitewing’s casual, yet elaborate wordplay and steely personals beating the breaks off of Dre Dennis usual assortment of fiery gun bars and formulaic punches in this Quarantine 1-rounder from Gates of the Garden.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “Boy. show respect, Dre Dennis, stuck at the main entrance!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Shockwave

by

Recap: Incredibly persistent when it comes to hard name flips, flagrant wordplay, aggressive bluster and piercing punchlines, Jey The Nitewing does more than enough to make easy work of a solid overall, but a bit filler-prone turn by Shockwave during this 1-rounder from a Purpz G, Rise of the Phoenix card in Arizona.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “Nigga thought this was his window of opportunity, nah nigga…this is curtains!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats MT$

by

Recap: After taking a shellacking to the aggressive, keenly pontificating, personal and punch-heavier stylings of MT$ in the first round, a well-dressed Jey The Nitewing gets back on his pulpit and reaches back to deliver a barrage of piercing punchlines, boastful shiners, intricate name flips and other grandiose bluster to come back and take the latter two rounds for the win.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “You’ve been decent as of recent, like the trash bags with the Fabreeze scent!”

Ace Amin defeats Jey The Nitewing

by

Recap: A bit of a frustrating one, what with watching Jey The Nitewing come to this battle against Ace Amin with so much fire material, but getting in his own way with a trio of stoppage’s, one debatable choke and one surefire choke. Not that Ace needed much help, the performance/bump-heavy Gooonie squad member bringing his own gang of steely street missives, hardbody punches, stifling gun bars and gritty, real life struggle narratives that would’ve kept him in the battle even if his opponent wasn’t repeatedly tripping over himself. Altogether a bout that could’ve been dope, but give the guy who came more prepared, Ace Amin, rounds 2 and 3 for the win.

Verdict: Ace Amin (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Ace Amin – “I’m grabbing a thing, its sad what I seen, put the cannon in King…it’s a lunch special!”

Reepah Rell defeats Jey The Nitewing

by

Recap: Recruiting festive gun lines, a gang of seismic punchlines (esp. during a sublime 1st round), endearing name flips/personals and a series of moody ‘old head’ bars, a consistently spicy Reepah Rell manages to beat the brakes off a versatile, but flow-challenged (including a 1st round choke) Jey The Nitewing in this Banned battle from URL. Nitewing, who started off with a bang before he fell apart midway during the 1st round and offered up plenty of heat with some roundhouse personals here and there in the 3rd, did manage to put forth a clean and imaginative 2nd to force a debatable turn there. But overall, the West-coast up-n-comer just couldn’t keep up with Rell’s synergy and residual haymakers in the opening and closing rounds.

Verdict: Reepah Rell (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Reepah Rell – “Watch your jaw nigger, first off I’ll hurt ya face, I get one punch in. you’ll see Nite [night] shift…I’m working late!

Emerson Kennedy and Jey The Nitewing [DEBATABLE]

by

 

Recap: It doesn’t get much better than this one as Emerson Kennedy and Jey the Nitewing each deliver an exquisite 3 rounds of steady, potent and crowd-pleasing bars and schemes. EK, slightly more lit when it came to hard-hitting (“You supposed to be toe taggin’, keeping up the race, you know, even up the pace with the East to be the greats, Jey, every time you choke East, the West reap all [Reepah] the mistakes!”) personals, but also just as fire throughout in lieu of a boatload of stirring punchlines, loaded abstract stingers, aggressive and (“Niggas chains getting rung, I don’t chase fame from a gun, but for a band on the side, I might change on the run, hop out and wait till Nite [night] show, put his name on a drum!”) well-finessed wordplay, stayed on his A-game. And Nitewing, with perhaps a bit of a monkey on his back what with all the heat he’s gotten for choking (a theme that EK had no trouble reminding him of throughout this battle) during battles, stayed flexing with consistent ease during his turns, all the while keeping the pressure on his opponent with a wide bag of witty barbs, banging (“You probably thinking this angle is getting fucking old, but you keep acting like you wasn’t told, can’t survive off what your mother knows, she can’t save you when you touch the stove!”) punches, dizzying metaphorical shiners, rich set-ups and a couple of over-the-top rebuttals. An altogether spitfire battle with nary a dry spot that also displayed plenty of braggadocio zingers and lofty struggle bars from each side, the scoring here saw EK needing a gargantuan opening round to edge the 1st, the two battlers traded an equal amount of potency with their lines to make that one debatable and the deciding 3rd round going Nitewing’s way what with one or two more haymakers.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “You wanna know my theory of relativity?, get his relatives first!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Mad Face

by

Recap: A battle that the punchline feen and true lyricist can appreciate, poker face perps Mad Face and Jey The Nitewing go at it for 3 fiery and competitive rounds with a more condensed Mad Face hanging in there throughout the battle via a boatload of clever punches, flexing (“I was hoping you got you stupid, the dumber the better, Nitewing with a chip on his shoulder, let’s ruffle his feathers!”) wordplay and permeable name flips/gun bars. But for all of Mad Face’s colloquial stunting and fire innuendo’s, the Richmond, VA, battler occasional bouts with mediocrity and near slip-ups would work hurt him here and there. That said, with Nitewing’s longer turns and an equal ratio of haymakers from each battler, both the 1st and 3rd rounds were scored as debatable’s. Thus leaving the 2nd round as the deciding factor, which the overall aggressive and versatile Nitewing handily takes what with a couple of fire (and rare) mid-round rebuttals, gripping (“I’ve studied everything about you nigga, your battles, your movements, this is basic shit, I prepared these rounds for a better you that, that you can’t even face me wit’, you’d have more of a life if you put into it that effort that I put into taking it!”) personals and consistently banging punchlines.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “My nigga you basically fucked, niggas that told you about me wasn’t making shit up, even ya mama tried to warn you nigga, keep making that Face and get stuck!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Don Marino

by

Recap: Perhaps a little wary of having to do his 3rd Proving Grounds battle, a serious Jey The Nitewing lives up to his open ‘I ain’t come here to play’ declaration with a sizzling 1st and classic 2nd round filled with spitfire punchlines, intricate wordplay, varied/heated personals and pontifications towards an opponent in Don Marino who entertained and came punch-heavy throughout, but overall just didn’t have enough to keep up with Nitewing’s more potent bars.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “What you take me for, fuck your hustle, when it come to the struggle nigga anybody could play that card, see I came from cold showers, all my euces know, but see most was broke, nigga Jey was poor, I ain’t have a mattress till I was 16, I had to wake up and make the floor!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Real Name Brandon

by

Recap: Fierce PG battle between Real Name Brandon and Jey The Nitewing sees the former (after a pretty pedestrian 1st round) dish a plethora of glorified mayhem that made what was looking to be a one-sided match into something competitive. But aided by his unorthodox delivery/performance, intricate wordplay/personals/name flips and steely flexing with his punches, it’s Mr. Nitewing who takes edges the 3rd (after a debatable 2nd) and earns the win.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “Fuck letting a glock burst, I’m big, you big, let’s see which one of us drop first, I’m fat, you fat, let’s see who’s gonna stop first, I’m dying to go to war wit’cha. I’m black and Samoan, so go figure, you know what you need for that type of shit?, some more [Samoan] niggas!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Fixx

by

Recap: Reputed Gun Bar King Tay Roc would probably take a liking to Fixx, whose penchant for dishing a plethora of crafty firearm-related (“I’m kinda sick with it, you better hope the bullet come out or you gonna live with it!”) shiners makes him one to look out for. But in this sizzling PG battle versus Jey The Nitewing, Fixx’s overall heat gets outdone by a more versatile opponent, who via some acute wit, sterling punchlines/set-ups, shining wordplay and steely (“Closed casket, the irony…they couldn’t fix your face!”) name flips, takes the 1st and 3rd rounds to earn the win even with his hoodie literally breaking down on stage.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “That talking, don’t mean shit, I know as soon as I seen Fixx, you put Jey in front of him, he change up, now he a prefix!”

Danja Zone defeats Jey The Notewing

by

Recap: In this 3-rounder from Skytier Northwest, after a close 1st round, a confident, witty with the personals and scheme/punchline-heavy Danja Zone ends up with an easy bag upon Jey The Nitewing’s more pedestrian bars and slip-ups in the latter two rounds.

Verdict: Danja Zone (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Danja Zone – “Everything in your verse was dumb, wack, lot of dead waste. please tell me that that’s not your best Jey, ‘cuz if so, everything in your head was trash…Black China sex tape!”

Chilla Jones defeats Jey The Nitewing

by

Recap: Even a fire 3rd round from up-n-comer and prolific puncher Jey the Nitewing couldn’t save him from The Kingpen’s sheer propensity in dishing consistently hot wordplay, witty schemes and fierce personals/punchlines during the first couple of rounds, more than enough to take this Boston vs. Washington Skytier Northwest battle.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “Jey [Jay] don’t got the title [Tidal], so unless Hov drop and album, don’t subscribe to that shit!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats 65 Hunnit

by

Recap: Jey The Nitewing uses a plethora of rigid lyrical stunting, boastful commentary and other punch-heavy linguistics to make mincemeat of a mostly unprepared 65 Hunnit in this one-sided 3-rounder from Skytier Northwest.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “You gonna start your round talking my tits bro?!, I thought you was from Long Beach, not San Francisco!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Patron

by

Recap: In this punch-heavy and competitive 3-rounder from AHAT, Jey The Nitewing’s stay-on-point consistency, loaded with a gang of fire name flips along the way gives the raspy-voiced Federal Way, WA, battler enough darts to edge round 2 as well as the deciding 3rd round over an aggressive and pretty solid effort from Patron.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “I don’t really get why they had your back, I thought they would’ve had mine, c’mon Kelly…Patron was what got us in trouble the last time!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Troy Brown

by

Recap: Along with a deliberate, but strong punch game, GrindTime vet Troy Brown displays some excellent freestyle ability too in this 3-rounder against Jey The Nitewing from Smoked Out Battles. However, highlighted by a spitfire 2nd round that saw him put all his unorthodox, but potent punches together and a steady display of other brazen personals and righteous lyrical flexing throughout the battle, it’s Nitewing who earns the 30.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “That ain’t rapping, they gassing, your 3rd eye been rocking fake lashes!”

L.S. Da Zombie defeats Jey The Nitewing

by

Recap: Well, here’s something you almost never see: a battle rapper (in this case, Jey The Nitewing) choking in all 3 rounds, thus affording a pretty solid punching (esp. during an extra dope 2nd round) and witty at times L.S. Da Zombie a bodybag in this For MCs By MCs P.I.N. 2 Tourney.

Verdict: L.S. Da Zombie (W) 3-0

Favorite line: L.S. Da Zombie – “Bullets coming out at night [Nite], they nocturnal!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Slambo

by

Recap: Mostly a punchfest here as Jey The Nitewing and Slambo each kick a gang of exemplary and gritty punchlines to keep the crowd in tuned during this competitive 3-rounder from AHAT. Ironically, however, Caucasian rapper Slambo’s choice to spout some racial history (can’t blame him since so many black rappers bring up race when facing off against a white rapper) on an opponent who barely went there when it comes to race, would cost him a bit in the deciding 3rd round as the more steadily spicy JTN, after getting edged in round 1, would edge each of the latter two rounds for the win.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “Put my foot in the asses you kissing, won’t tell if he brown-nosing or boot-licking!”

Yung Griz defeats Jey The Nitewing

by

Recap: Slow-strutting with fiery punchline after punchline while mixing in some straight-ahead/measured personals and flashy local-isms to let you know that he did his research, a visiting Yung Griz edges the first couple of rounds here over smiley and less consistent local Federal Way, WA, hero Jey The Nitewing to get the win before suffering from a few hiccups in the 3rd, thus allowing his cleaner opponent to avoid the 30.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “I stunt wherever, that’s par core, one shot from the eagle, that’s a par 4!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Red Shirt Mike

by

Recap: Plenty of righteous punches, flinging mayhem, esoteric zingers and nifty wordplay in this 3-rounder from For MC’s By MC’s between Jey The Nitewing and Blasphem-E (aka ‘Red Shirt Mike’). And while Mike held his own with a consistently solid showing, the more intricate and punch-heavy Nitewing takes all 3 rounds for the win.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “Dude’s a muffin, said he was gonna black-eye, we knew you was bluffing, lying about how he fell like he got an abusive husband!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats D’mon

by

Recap: AHAT Washington 3-rounder between Jey The Nitewing and D’mon features a beautiful view outside, a gang of flashy/mocking personals, rich punchlines, a couple of solid rebuttals from Nitewing and a battler with the unique ability of ‘talking to himself’ while he rapped (D’mon). A close and competitive one all the way through, it’s a punch-heavier and standout turn by Nitewing (who seemed at times like he was in a handicap match the way he taking on his opponent and his friend) in the opening round that gets him the win in light of two debatable rounds afterward.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “It hurts me to hurt you nigga’s, but y’all already know how J be, big fish, small pond, hell yeah I’m a get wavy!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Blue Jaccet

by

Recap: Scoring better with the witty barbs than the gritty street drama, in this 3-round battle from Skytier NorthWest, Blue Jaccet still keeps things interesting until a 3rd round choke gives more room for Jey The Nitewing’s more consistently spicy punchlines, ill 4-bar set-ups/pontifications and hitting personals over the course of the battle to do Jaccet in.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jey The Nietwing – “He said ya homie gonna punch me in my face, if I was ya homie I’d punch myself!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Lunes
