Recap: Seattle, WA battler Hipnosis displays his gift for fierce (“I mean I know you a top tier, but they you the GOAT, a great legend, well from 0 to 10, I give this nigga a 1…8 7!”) set-ups/wordplay and witty bars. But a slow start and a few dry spots here and there cost him against a more consistent, (“2 Tek’s and a hole in ya head, they think Rasheed back!”) hometown-scheming, freestyle-heavy and more versatile Charlie Clips in this solid one-rounder from Evry Lane Entertainment.
Verdict: Charlie Clips (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Charlie Clips – “How does it feel?, to know I came from out of town to kill you on your own stage, I’m a different kind of nigga, I hop out the car and then get road rage!”
