Recap: Finally displaying the level of consistency needed for more than one round to beat a top tier opponent, J2’s sturdy gun bars, solid name flips, wicked punchlines, hard street themes and wily personals combine to score haymakers over Chess and take this 3-rounder from Public Influence Battle League. Notwithstanding, Chess (who unabashedly had to leave the stage twice in round 1 due to issues with throwing up) still gave a good fight what with plenty of gritty punchlines, witty personals and stinging name flips of his own, kept it competitive throughout, but outside of a more haymaker-lit round 3, wasn’t able to keep up with his opponent’s slightly more richer palette.
Verdict: J2 (W) 2-1
Favorite line: J2 – “We was so deep in the streets, my therapist advice was don’t say nothing!”
