No Bias. No Narratives.
Recap: In this dope 1-rounder from Bars Over Bricks, a strong, punch-heavy and gritty showing from Murdock gets edged by a more condensed, storytelling-rich, witty, name flip-lit and punch/personal-heavy Swamp.
Verdict: Swamp (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Swamp – “You play stupid and you’ll get can fried, then ya man dying, or you might wake up to a band on ya head…nigga, that’s a grand rising!”
Recap: Dishing heat with some solid punches, fierce trap talk, bully bars and fiery personals, Murdock (whose rap stylings remind me of Calicoe) makes a nice bid to pull off an upset by beating DNA. Yeah, ok. No chance here, especially in a 1-rounder, as Mr. GHTFOH uses a consistent barrage of steely gun bars, flexing wordplay, congenial punchlines, some spitfire rebuttals and towards the end, off-the-dome darts to make your ears peek to send his opponent back to the drawing board.
Verdict: DNA (W) 1-0
Favorite line: DNA – “I’m packing a ton, shoelace on the back of the gun, and it s strung around the barrel like an African drum!”
