THE BATTLES
Sammie Wild 100s vs. 4Kus
The first battle of the night was a spirited encounter
between Sammie Wild 100s and 4kus. Sammie
outshines 4kus in a few major areas throughout this
battle.
Sammie — with a prop of Popeye’s chicken — sort of
hurt his 2nd round.
4kus meanwhile, donated his 2nd round to fantasies
of f**king Mz.Gracie.
Sammie returns in the 3rd with an ill breakdown of
the card.
4kus is up with jokes and aggression.
Decent battle, but it was clear Sammie took the W.
Ooops vs. Mr. Mill$
Ooops starts off strong in the first, but he ends his
round flat. Mr.Mill$ steps up and builds a strong first
around about Ooops being a cancer survivor.
In the second, Ooops returns fire with an emotional
round regarding his health.
Mill$ chokes in the second, but has a great round
otherwise.
Ooops brings up how Norbes looks down on RBE in
the third.
Ooops chokes twice during this round, but it was
minor.
Mill$’ third grew stronger as it ended, with Mill$ also
throwing shots at DNA and Clips.
Hazey vs. Showoff
À la Cortez, Showoff snatches the coin from the air
and begins to rap. He’s consistent and clean during
his round.
Hazey is next and immediately digs into Showoff,
on everything from his singing to his name flips.
Probably the best Hazey anybody has seen.
Showoff steps it up tremendously during the second,
while Hazey does the opposite. The battle is pretty
much tied up going into the third.
Showoff has an amazing third round, while after a few
bars, Hazey gives up and stops rapping.
Jimz, from the TrapHouse, is allowed mic time at
this point. He disses QP for the no-show at the
TrapHouse event and pretty much calls out Shotgun
Suge.
Cash Capone vs. Dre Dennis
This was the battle that was a 1-rounder.
Cash is up first and wasn’t half-bad, despite a slip up.
Dre is up next and although his round was good, he
ends it flat; similar to Ooops in his first.
Jai Smoove vs. Ms. Miami
Definitely the bodybag of the night. Props to Jai, but
Miami has a phenomenal performance that night.
Jai had a giant choke in the second that lasted
minutes.
Miami was pretty flawless throughout the battle.
Jai again choked and then gave up in the third.
JC vs. Syah Boy
First off, special shouts to both, who took this battle
on a week’s prep.
JC is up first and immediately crafts a strong,
aggressive round.
Before Syah’s first starts, his watch breaks due to his
movements. Bigg K, myself and about four other
people in the front began to laugh.
Syah’s first is good, but he had to work to bring the
crowd back after the watch incident.
The battle gets better in the second, from both.
The third round between JC and Syah is one of the
best of the whole night.
Both dudes seem hungry and Syah actually kept up
with JC.
