Recap: Credit to Dre Dennis who apparently took this battle at the last minute and despite a couple of slip-ups, still impressed with atypical rambunctious (“Conclusion, I got a body before the intro, I came to do this esai [essay] wrong!”; “Now I’m strapped up in New York like Ray Felton!”) bars that melded well with rich performance lines. Still, a better prepared and steady confident A-Ssassin uses some fledging wordplay, nice (“Wanna scrap?, yet we can go out side like old-school hats!”) angles/punchlines and surefire (“…run up on Clips with these clips just to steal his rhymebook, that’s what I call going scheme for schemes”) schemes to hold on for the win in this one-rounder from the Trap House.
Verdict: A-Ssassin (W) 1-0
Favorite line: A-Ssassin – “This battle rap is like crack to the fans, tell the top tiers this how you treat your feens better…in the fastest way, bar after bar after bar after bar like alcoholics on St. Patrick’s Day!”
