Recap: Who knew that Prep had so many haters? In a battle drenched with personals from both his opponent Venom and fiends in the crowd, the DMV headliner, while shining when he spits ill freestyles and fiery (“On his way home get hit with another 30…Kevin Gates!”) set-ups but falters with a few too many dry spots/repeats, esp. when attempting to show off his off-the-dome acumen. For opponent Venom, even with somewhat of a tepid flow, consistently hitting with fleeting punches/personals throughout his round makes than makes for it and is also more than enough to offset Prep’s righteous unsteadiness and even getting tagged in 3 times during his turn.
Verdict: Venom (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Venom – “The last time we seen someone in a bowtie kill something B.I.G., it was a bad day in hip-hop!”
