Recap: In a true sign of the times, in lieu of the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic going on that’s keep us all on house arrest, Smack/URL gets innovative with its first ‘Quarantined’ matchup featuring Mike P. versus Tay Roc. And with no stage or crowd and instead, each battler delivering their bars on video from the comfort of their homes, the battle certainly offers a different feel and dynamic. That said, it’s still a goodie with Roc and Mike competitively going at it for about 5 minutes apiece and Roc, slightly more effective when it came to infusing current-day events into his raps, more consistent on a whole and delivering a steadier stream of dizzying boasts/personals/mayhem on top, taking the round and the win.
Verdict: Tay Roc (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Tay Roc – “I’ll catch Mike and his bitch at a restaurant, beautiful setting, then fuck Mike up in that booth, it’s a studio session!”
