Metta

Aye Verb defeats Metta

by

Recap: Clearly motivated to bring his best against a fellow St. Louis spitter in Metta, Aye Verb straight spazzes in this 1-rounder from Street Status. Verb, with nary any filler and a flexing ‘Showtime’ scheme to put the cherry on top, scored left and right with a gang of consistently fiery punchlines, braggadocious rhymes and brazen personals to beat back the nifty wordplay and at times witty punches from an opponent who besides Verb was also hurt by one too many reaches.

Verdict: Aye Verb (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Aye Verb – “I’m the king and only one at a time is what this throne sit!”

Swave Sevah defeats Metta

by

Recap: Prolific bully bars are the answer here as Swave Sevah looks past the old man/martial arts jokes and other noteworthy punches from a way-too-lengthy Metta and combined with the use of some ringing name flips, boastful darts and mocking personals, takes the latter two rounds of this 3-rounder from King Juce Battle League.

Verdict: Swave Sevah (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Swave Sevah – “Metta brave, but if Metta try to sever Swave, then Metta gonna need more than metaphors, he gonna need Medicaid!”

Calicoe defeats Metta

by

Recap: Here we find that lyrically Calicoe doesn’t so much outshine Metta as he does aggressively and performance-wise with more heat in his rounds per bar than his opponent.

Verdict: Calicoe (W) 2-0

Favorite line: Calicoe – “You one of those gay crooks that be a lookout for your boys during a robbery, and be in the hood bragging about what they took”

Metta defeats Cortez

by

Recap: In this 3-rounder from King Juce Battle League, a boatload of nifty wordplay, witty personals and spicy punchlines/4-bar setups from Metta gets him both of the opening rounds over the hardbody, but not as consistently-lit or nuanced rhymes of Cortez to give the St. Louis battler the win before Cortez, ever a stickler for mayhem and rudimentary personals, edged the 3rd to avoid the shutout.

Verdict: Metta (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Metta – “You an illegal immigrant, I bet your favorite bookstore is Borders!”
