Recap: Two battle vets who should arguably be in everyone’s Top 5, Hollow Da Don and Tay Roc, come together for a fire, competitive and highly entertaining matchup at URL’s Summer Madness 6. Roc, the self-proclaimed ‘Gun Bar King’, lets his whole arsenal off in the 1st round, a blazing and more condensed turn littered with armored (“Once they paid me my dough, this problem was all yours, Black mask, I’m flashing sticks, that’s Star Wars, sawed off, try to run, I’m all for it, I’ll chase you with it, runnin’ with the Thunder, I’m Paul George!”) mayhem. Still, Hollow would come right back with a more versatile turn that featured a host of eccentric, metaphorical and unorthodox stylings. And tho the di-da Don was able back come right back and land a gang of haymakers with a boatload of stinging punchlines, name flips and personals along with some added wit, despite being more one-dimensional, a more consistent Roc earns a draw in the opener.
Roc would get more resourceful in round 2, using some over-the-top performance bars, more uplifting gun heat, lofty personals and righteous schemes/punches to edge a turn by Hollow that after a slow start and thanks in part to a late flurry of braggadocio bangers, almost got the L.O.M. honcho the round. 3rd round produced yet another aggressive, exhilarating and punch-heavy turn from both battlers with Roc going back to ringing (“My left hook will wobble your shit, it’s a leg shaker, then my right hook? A farmer’s tool, it’s a haymaker!”) mayhem with some piercing personals mixed in. But still behind one round, it’d be Hollow who would turn it up even more, using a plethora of searing rebuttals, hardbody schemes and agile (“I drive different, like a Tesla car engine, I’m the reason the line outside longer than an Escobar sentence!”) punchlines/personals to take the round and gain a draw.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Hollow Da Don – “You act tough in blogs but when I see you, you change instantly, take the fatigues off in 2K, I want to see the same energy!”
