Swamp defeats D Nice

Recap: Holding it down for the opening rounds with a gang of visceral punchlines, drawn-out mayhem and sporty name flips/wordplay/set-ups, a more condensed Swamp puts in enough work to beat back a thrill-seeking, gritty and punch-lit, but also elongated D Nice in what was a competitive 3-rounder from No Ransom Battle League.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Swamp – “I made all the funeral arrangements for your ass nigger, I even paid for the plot, the casket was expensive as fuck, but shit even U-haul make you pay for the box!”

Swamp defeats Polo

Recap: Nary lacking for confidence, Swamp uses a gang of boastful stunting, scintillating gun bars, fiery personals and flippant name flips to beat back a solid and gritty, but nowhere-near-as-potent turn by Polo in this 1-rounder from Carolina Barrs Rap Battle league.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Swamp – “Every time this bitch open his mouth, dog gonna lick a shot, that’s a Snapchat filter!”

Swamp defeats Shawty Raw

Recap: Well, if there’s one thing you just can’t do when there’s money on the line in a battle, it’s choke. Unfortunately for Shawty Raw–who after getting overwhelmed by Swamp’s grimy bars, way more potent lines and heated punches in the 1st round, made for a gritty enough comeback in the 2nd to make that round both competitive and debatable 2nd–his fate (and $400) would not only be decided by his opponent’s sizzling punchline game and fiery gun bar verbiage, but also a total loss of his bars.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Swamp – ” I said I’m done playing, you see me, it’s front pages, gun’s blazing, bucks from all kinds of muthafucka’s…like you fundraising!”

Robb Marley defeats Swamp

Recap: Even the out-of-nowhere phone convo in the 3rd round doesn’t do much to help Swamp as besides a debatable 2nd round, opponent Robb Marley more condensed lines, lofty personals, witty jokes and ‘shit’-laced punches in the opening and closing rounds prove to be no match for Swamp’s less potent bars and often erratic showing.

Verdict: Robb Marley (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Robb Marley – “I thought you was gay in school, bitch your lip gloss was popping!”
