Recap: Battling prolifically of late, this time around Bad Newz takes on Swave Sevah on the RBE stage for 3 pretty intense and competitive rounds. Round one was littered with haymakers and heavy-handed punches/personals from both battlers, but a slightly more prepared-for-his-opponent’s-angles and smoother with the flow Newz edges the opening round, before a more condensed, set-up/bully-heavy and street scholarly Swave comes back to even things in the 2nd. The deciding 3rd round was close, but with Sevah getting extra mean with it, intricate and witty with the personals along with mixing in some dope bully bars and punchlines, even with Newz dropping a solid and at times, punch-heavy turn, it’s the more consistently nice Team Homi captain who ends up taking this one.
Verdict: Swave Sevah (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Swave Sevah – “You got shot by your Ace?!…damn, King!”
