Recap: From URL’s Traffic 6 card, the battle vet JC and up-n-comer Awthentic put on a dope show for the Arizona crowd in a 3-round battle that was as competitive and close as close could be. Awthentic, ganging up on his opponent with a boatload of gritty punchlines, some solid wordplay/name flips and feelgood gun bars never lacked for confidence. While JC kept it cool, but bombastic with a shitload of eerie boasts, poisonous (“You only got one form, but you don’t gotta conform to fit in this casket!”) darts, festering gun bars and bold name flips. Steady on both sides with the heat with little on the personals, a debatable round 1 is followed by the slightly more efficient JC edging round 2, before a punch-crazy Awthentic came back to land more haymakers (including the line of the battle, see below) in round 3 to make this one a debatable overall.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Awthentic – “my time has been birthed, and I’m defined by the turf, how JC walk on water but died trying to Surf!’
