Kid Twist

Kid Twist defeats John John da Don

by

Recap: Good to see Kid Twist, one of the best Canadian battle rappers out there, taking on a URL head in John John da Don. Even better is witnessing a good battle between two contrasting styles as neither battler underestimated their opponent. JJDD came hard with some dope gun (“I bought my Nina a friend, Why? because she enjoys company, I feel like Andy with Buzz and Woody, these toys stuck with me, I let ’em take turns with Kid like joint custody!”) bars and rich punchlines, while Twist’s penchant for tactful rebuttals and witty (“But I’ll bring in the real reason for your name into light, you’re a double-john because hookers started made you start paying them twice”) jokes scored heavy. Got Kid Twist taking the 1st round easy and the same goes for JJDD with the 3rd. So with the battle coming down to the middle round, it’s Twist who gets the win with more consistently nicer bars, better crafted angles and doper (“….you’re like a kid who didn’t make it in sports, you been getting the Battle Rap Participation Award”) personals.

Verdict: Kid: Twist (W) 2-1

Favorite line: John John da Don -“I bet you thought I was coming with some wack shit, sorry, this ain’t what you expected, you been Catfished”

Kid Twist defeats Uno Lavoz

by

Recap: You’d think with a potential $5k to go after, a couple of talents like Kid Twist and Uno Lavoz would put on a more pitch-perfect show. But in between sips on his brew Uno spends too much time editorializing, while the normally comically consistent Twist as a whole under-performs. Still, after a close round one edged by Lavoz’ rebuttals/freestyles, Twist has enough witty bars and personals left in his tank to come from behind, take the latter two rounds and get the win.

Verdict: Kid Twist (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Kid Twist – “So yeah you beat ZM, but that gossip shit was sort of weak, I thought I turned into the Real Housewives of Puerto Rico”
