Recap: Only in the middle of a Daylyt match could one envision a battle rapper having a cake presented to him while the audience sings “Happy Birthday”. That said, Progrest in his “3rd battle ever”, puts forth a pretty good showing, using ready-to-fire punchlines, witty (“Put hollow points in your cheeks, like Dots with ass shots”) anecdotes and introducing, get-ready-for-it…slow-motion performance bars that’d make Sylvester Stallone proud–yeah, this kid has potential. But give Daylyt credit for making this one-rounder competitive with fierce (“Niggas died in the lake, anybody that’s by you [Bayou] killed”) street bars and a well-timed freestyle (“I should’ve out hands on his big head, you like to [shakes hand] jerk”) game that earned him the tie.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Progrest – “Heaven sent, but you can see hell free, everybody to the left die [Left Eye] TLC”
