Rum Nitty defeats Yung Griz

by

Recap: From West World Battle Rap, in a battle that was competitive throughout while featuring a gang of slick wordplay, blistering gun bars, savage boasts and scintillating set-up/punchlines, after the two split (had Rum Nitty edging round 1 before Yung Griz returned the favor in round 2) it’s a more bucket hat/personal-lit, condensed and haymaker-friendly Rum who takes the deciding 3rd for the win.

Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Rum Nitty – “If I send my shooters he fo sure dying, they get off the drugs and get more violent, before they go sliding, they probably sniff a little white girl…like Joe Biden!”

Yung Griz defeats Chvnk

by
Recap: Spouting a gang of sizzing name flips, but also scoring left and right with some seriously bruising punchlines, fiery wordplay and witty personals, in his 1st battle on iBattle, Yung Griz gets the win over an aggressive and mayhem-lit Chvnk, who after a subpar round 1, did manage to earn some points by making things competitive in the latter rounds.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “Built like cattle, now ya life at stake [steak], ya heard [herd] chump?!”

Yung Griz defeats Mr. Biscuit

by


Recap: From URL’s Born Legacy NW, Yung Griz certainly had to earn this one as opponent Mr. Biscuit’s patchwork of stinging 2-bar punchlines along with some feisty wordplay/personals allowed the Crucible 2 graduate to make his mark while keeping things close. Yet, for all of Biscuit’s verbal histrionics, the more condensed, rebuttal-spitting and versatile-punching Griz, bedazzling the crowd with everything from piercing punches to loaded gun lines to witty personals (mostly geared towards to his opponent’s choice of footwear) to fire set-ups/name flips/righteous bangers, does just enough to edge rounds 1 and 3 for the win.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “Popeyes! Biscuit! He gettin’ tired of the bars, till it’s Biscuit on a shirt like, ‘I ate mine in the car!'”

Yung Griz defeats Sozee

by

Recap: Dressing like Yung Griz doesn’t equate to out-punching Yung Griz as Sozee learns in this VLMG & Tha Kulture 1-rounder with Griz utilizing a bunch of boastful barbs, mocking personals, some dope wordplay and a boatload of stinging punchlines to beat back a hard-hitting at times, but mostly subpar punching opponent.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “I’ll send ya soul, when I hit the scene, split him in half, big blade, look like a guillotine, now he So-so, that was average…still was mean!”

Yung Griz defeats Rubbatung

by

Recap: As if the piercing punchlines, steely personals and rigid wordplay weren’t hard enough, it’s the absolutely sublime name flips from Yung Griz that over the course of 3 rounds that leads to a 30 here over a boisterous and solid punching, but nowhere-near-as-potent run by Rubbatung in this 3-rounder from Free Game Battle League.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “Big Griz, you a little Tung [tongue] like 1st base!”

Yung Griz defeats KD

by

Recap: In this competitive 3-rounder from The Riot Network, KD unloads a bunch of lines testing Yung Griz’s street cred while also scoring with a gang of fiery punches. However, besides a minor 2nd round hiccup (which forced a debatable there), Griz displays nary a misstep, all the while using fierce name flips, rigid sports bars, boastful barbs, witty/hard-hitting personals and a plethora of piercing punchlines to take rounds 1 and 3 for the win.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “My vibes is based on your temperature…it’s like a moodring!”

Yung Griz defeats NXT

by

Recap: West-coast, The Grizz Exam Battle League 1-rounder, of course warrants a battle from namesake Young Griz, who scores with more than enough gritty punches, boastful barns, righteous personals and piercing name flips to beat back a pretty solid, but not as steadily spicy run by NXT.

Verdict: Young Griz (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “You should be the man on the West already, never gave us what we need to see, how are you next [NXT]and we’re still waiting?, this ain’t the DMV!”

Yung Griz defeats Stuey Newton

by

Recap: A couple of current day West-coasts elites, Stuey Newton and Yung Griz, meet up for the first time and while both battlers came with a ton of heat, it’s Griz who stands out a little more, using some hard-hitting personals, stinging name flips, a more consistently jarring punch game, rugged gun bars and a couple of flexing rebuttals to edge the latter two rounds after a 1st round draw.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “[Bang!] [Bang!] till they both clicking,  that’s two sticks, like I’m crocheting and that was so different!”

Yung Griz defeats Drugz

by

Recap: Since he has one of the most generic (and all too popular when it comes to subject matter) monikers in battle rap, the easiest route to go when facing Drugz is name flips. So if you’re gonna there and want to stand any chance at winning, ya better be unique with it as Yung Griz displays here. The West-coast battler shining throughout his one round with a gang of sublime flips on his opponent’s name when he wasn’t scoring with popping wordplay, some dope personals and daunting gun bars. And with nary any filler, Griz’s top-notch effort would still only edge a pretty solid and gun-centric showing from Drugz.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “Your name Drugz and you look like you used to do drugs, I get the feel, like if we give you a plate to go and a plate of blow, you would skip the meal!”

Yung Griz defeats Nov

by

Recap: AHAT vet Nov’s gritty punches keeps him in the battle, but with a bag of stinging punchlines, searing wordplay, witty barbs, rugged name flips and spitfire personals that kept the crowd lit, in thsi fiery 3-rounder Yung Griz’s consistent and more versatile mix of fire, brimstone and mayhem earns him the 30.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “You’re my friend on Instagram and it’s gross…it’s not even BBW, y’all have the same body, ya both shaped like B’s that looks like double U’s!”

Yung Griz and Fettuccine20 [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: The last time we saw Fettuccine20 battle on the West-coast, it was an impressive win over Dre Vishiss. This time however, a just-as-potent-with-the-punches Yung Griz forces Fetty into a different outcome. Still a fire battle nonetheless as after a debatable first round that saw both battlers bring an equal amount of spitfire heat, a more (“Big ass gun, Billy Boondocks, if this 1.1 [one point one], even the crowd dies!”) sublime and expansive Griz edges the 2nd, before Fetty comes back to edge the 3rd with a nice rebuttal, a gang of dope punchlines and one or two more haymakers to make up for a slightly less cleaner round than his opponent and a draw at the end.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Fettuccine20 – “Everybody want be a featured artist, till the magazine put you on the front page!”

Yung Griz defeats Sin Flee

by

Recap: Funny where you’ll see a Smack rapper turn up sometimes as West-coast denizen Yung Griz makes his debut on the East-coast Colosseum Battle League stage. Regardless of geometry tho, Griz still proves to be Griz, steadily superb for 3 rounds with the (“I’ll put these dogs on Flee [flea], now it’s opposite Day!”) punchlines, name flips and wordplay to score a 30 on a mostly (“Special Ed kid, I ain’t ever been Big on words, before I even hollered at a bitch, I was already used to the curve!”) solid, but oft-reaching (before choking at the end of his 3rd) Sin Flee.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “Hell, this a sending of Biblical proportions, Yung [young] leaving Earth early like clinical abortions!”

Yung Griz defeats Cali Smoov

by

Recap: Way more condensed with less filler in the 1st during a spitfire round that saw both (“From the bottom to the top of Cali…I guess you should’ve took the 5!”) he and his opponent Cali Smoov bring a load of potent heat, Yung Griz survives a turned-up 2nd from (“I’m a fact-checker, we asked some nigga’s about his rap sheet, he started listing his Smack record!”) Cali to comeback with a barrage of witty personals, fierce performance bars and some sick wordplay to take the deciding 3rd and the win in this Smack/URL PG matchup.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “You brought nunchucks to your last battle?!?, did you them nunchucks in this bitch?, fuck a nunchuck, boy I’m off the chain with a stick!”

Yung Griz defeats Profit

by

Recap: As much as it’d be nice to see a Philly rapper breakout and become a star on the URL stage, I don’t think Profit will be that guy. Indeed, while his performance was top-notch, full of energy and kept you entertained, the bars themselves, were another subpar story brought to you from The City of Brotherly Love. That said, as easy vic for the consistently punch-centric, name flip spazzing and confident Yung Griz, who with this one should definitely be graduating from the PGs.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “I talk wrong while I’m acting Savage, this the Wonder Years!”

Yung Griz defeats Craig Lamar

by

Recap: Real good shit between Yung Griz and (“Drive-by, I brought something glorious for your troops, with a ladder hanging out the chopper, like I’m trying to save Morpheus from the roof!”) Craig Lamar, who both came with a plethora of spitfire bars, biting (YG: “Lift and spark, I’m looking just over the edge when I draw…midget art!”) wit, plenty of fiery punches and stinging set-ups to make this yet another dope PG matchup from Smack. Still, while the bout was competitive throughout and (“Nigga you gonna meet your maker, like you came with a warranty!”) Craig’s freestyles at the beginning of round 3 edged him a very close one, it’s Yung Griz, more consistent throughout with a betetr performance throughout and a little more versatile with some crazy personal’s mixed in, who takes the first couple of rounds for the win.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Yung Griz -“This nerd tripping, the nerd in him, I’m serving him, dent in your glass jaw…look like the TVs with the curve in them!”

Yung Griz defeats Da Kid Clutch

by

Recap: After getting flamed in the first round, a personal and punch-heavy (“You want beef with a nigger who keep metal in hand, but you ain’t Sabretooth!”) Da Kid Clutch manages to comeback and edge the 2nd for a split with the fiery (“I think Klutch [clutch] is soft, that’s a rubber grip, I’m holding heat!; “I’ll crack baby face with a crack baby, that’s a 4-pound!”) pen of Yung Griz. The deciding 3rd however, was basically a repeat of the 1st, with Gruz once again pouncing with steady heat and some dizzying haymakers, including an endearing tale towards the end of his turn that even his opponent had to give dap to. Altogether, a solid showing from Clutch, but a way more flexing performance from Griz in this dope West-coast PG match.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “I got the shit the PG’s wish they had…this is Smack’s number!”

Yung Griz defeats Saynt

by

Recap: One-rounder between Saynt and Yung Griz has them both snapping with rapid punches throughout their turns. But even with Griz rapping almost twice as long as his opponent, his more versatile lines stay consistently potent enough to gain a win.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “I let a couple of point at kid’s top like Bart….that was dumb clever, ‘cuz no matter how many years go by, we gonna treat this yellow nigger Young Forever!”

Yung Griz defeats Billy Boondocks

by

Recap: Funny, entertaining, head-scratching and totally one-sided battle from AHAT sees Yung Griz somehow getting through all the crowd noise and interruptions from his wayward, totally unprepared, freestyling opponent throughout this bout and deliver 3 rounds (we’ll deem the 3rd, where Griz spit what amounted to a superior character assassination, a classic) of spitfire punchlines, scathing personals, piercing schemes, blistering gun bars and rugged name flips and beat back a pretty embarrassing effort from Billy Boondocks.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “You always saying you wanna lift up the West and that’s kinda why some of us new nigga’s try to look up to you, then we get a little buzz and nigga’s say we good and you try to troll to keep us under you and that’s why I can’t fuck with you!”

Yung Griz defeats LI The Mayor

by

Recap: Not quite on his A-game overall, a personal and wordplay-heavy Yung Griz still manages to easily out-punch an inconsistent Li The Mayor for the win in this 3-rounder from West Coast Elites.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “I get to smoking different pieces of L [makes a sniffing sound] that’s a roach blunt!”

Megadef defeats Yung Griz

by

Recap: A loud and raucous Megadef backs up his brashness with a fresh load of pent-up punchlines and witty (“Your mom’s look like she half-bear, half-man, she got a grizzly Adam!”) personals, just enough to perhaps warrant a debatable in this one-rounder with a punch-heavy (“Partner chill, or this will buck, and leave his face on the other side of the building…like a dollar bill!”) Yung Griz. But seeing as flow counts in all these scrums, a couple of Griz slip-ups towards the end of his turn gives Magedef the win.

Verdict: Megadef (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Megadef – “Pick a fight, start to tussle, the cannon got a bigger bust than JaMarcus Russell!”

Yung Griz defeats Jey The Nitewing

by

Recap: Slow-strutting with fiery punchline after punchline while mixing in some straight-ahead/measured personals and flashy local-isms to let you know that he did his research, a visiting Yung Griz edges the first couple of rounds here over smiley and less consistent local Federal Way, WA, hero Jey The Nitewing to get the win before suffering from a few hiccups in the 3rd, thus allowing his cleaner opponent to avoid the 30.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “I stunt wherever, that’s par core, one shot from the eagle, that’s a par 4!”

Geechi Gotti defeats Yung Griz

by

Recap: Already down one round that wasn’t helped by a slow start and Yung Griz’s slick (“Kill a pen, fill it with Murder ink [Inc.], I’m about to Irv Gotti!”) wordplay and fierce schemes, Geechi Gotti turns it up in round two, solidifying his street/battle cred with standing (“I’m standing over him, shooting with both hands, I’m looking like Rick Barry on the line!”) haymakers and graphic urban street tales that you had to be there to witness. All said, it makes for a deciding 3rd round, which Gotti, thanks in part to slow start to his 3rd by his opponent and a pedigree of dizzying punches, edges with enough heaters to complete the comeback.

Verdict: Geechi Gotti (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Geechi Gotti – “I know you frail, you wouldn’t fight if you was getting paid [pow!} knock his homie head in his arms, that’s the only way you’ll make him catch a fade!”

Yung Griz defeats Shi Dog

by

Recap: A more versatile Yung Griz, jumping out of the gate with a punchline-crazy 1st round to in the later rounds spouting hot schemes when he wasn’t macking on his opponent’s girl (amongst other robust personals) gets the 30 over the gritty and at times wordplay-nice, but overall underwhelming Shi Dog in this 3-rounder from AHAT.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Yung Griz –  “I hope y’all came ready for 3 rounds of me giving him more, I came to fuck Dog up, like I know this bitch ain’t shot on my floor!”

Yung Griz and Ron Compton [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: Not as consistently punch/wordplay-heavy as his opponent Yung Griz, Ron Compton still has enough extra wit (“Nobody help him move shit…like he live upstairs!”), piercing 4-bar set-ups and fiery performance bars to stay competitive after a debatable 1st round and edge the 2nd round of this Riot Rap Battles matchup before the mayhem-rich Griz came back to take the 3rd and force a tie.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “Mob on me, y’all will be the Mafia for real…your whole family tied!”

Yung Griz defeats XP

by

Recap: AHAT brings you this one-rounder between Young Griz and XP. A competitive battle that saw both battlers bring some shiners along with some aggressive punchlines, less filler and more intricate wordplay from Griz ends up being the difference-maker.

Verdict: Young Griz (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Young Griz – “Deep break in his skin, I’ll have him biting his lip, like prom selfies!”

Yung Griz defeats R.A.W.

by

Recap: Outside of some witty punches directed at him that seemed tertiary for an opponent consumed with a raucous, but subpar and straightforward/personal style that failed to put any points on the scoreboard, Yung Griz’s sometimes racially-tinged, but altogether piercing punchline game over the course of 3 rounds easily beats back R.A.W. in this matchup from iEvolveTV.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “My stock go [hand gesture’s upwards], you gonna be stuck at this point, you’ll get left for the bigger numbers…you a decimal point!”

Yung Griz defeats Sizzle

by

Recap: Killing it throughout with a boatload of raucous punchlines, nifty name flips and hard-hitting/witty personals, even his subpar-punching opponent Sizzle struggling to start his 2nd round wouldn’t have made a difference in Yung Griz pitching a shutout in this Casual Conflicts Rap League 3-rounder.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “In this rap shit, you my white brother, ain’t nobody gonna take care of you the way I do man, see I’m fucking you up to make you better…you should be trying to be my new friend!”

Yung Griz defeats AD

by

Recap: From Casual Conflicts Rap League, Yung Griz uses a gang of gritty punchlines, fire wordplay and some dope name flips to handily beat back am earnest, but mostly pedestrian AD in this 3-rounder.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “Get out of pocket, I’ll steal [steel] on ya…metal detectors!”

Yung Griz defeats CodexP

by

Recap: After an abbreviated 1st round that saw him struggle with his flow and cut his turn short, Yung Griz swipes away the nerves and delivers a couple of flexing rounds filled with spicy punchlines and boastful/witty screeds to come back and get the win over the speedy, but mostly bland stylings of CodexP in this 3-rounder from Casual Conflicts.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Yung Griz – “Where ypu get off, talking all that fuck shit?…this ain’t the Party line!”
