Charlie Clips defeats Shooney Da Rapper

by

Recap: From RBE, a lot of jokes from Charlie Clips about his opponent’s husband…but they still count. That plus a bunch of witty personals directed at Shooney Da Rapper (wily, pretty solid and even a bit off-the-dome lit throughput when she wasn’t hurting herself with one too many pedestrian lines), gritty punchlines/schemes and piercing freestyles/name flips allows Clips to score more haymakers and edge rounds 1 and 3 (call round 2 debatable) for the win.

Verdict: Charlie Clips (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Charlie Clips – “You was born and raised in The Bronx, I’m supposed to believe you not ratchet, please?, You married a nigga named Fettuccine 20, nigga sound like a discount at Applebee’s!”

Charlie Clips defeats Mike P

by

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, kind of weird that after all these years Mike P can be so sensitive about personals when it comes to his wife, when from his infamous 2nd round against Danny Myers to body-shaming Charlie Clips here, he has no problem engaging in scathing personals himself. That said, tho he a bit of a lazy 2nd, Mike’s strong set-up/punchlines (which edged him round 1) and sometimes otherworldly darts made for a spicy overall showing for a man heading into retirement from battle rap. But yet in another reminder of what usually happens when Clips takes a battle seriously–the Harlem vet’s gritty punchlines/wordplay, witty jokes, braggadocios raps, solid rebuttals and (after coming back with a punch-heavier round 2 to split things going into the 3rd), a dope, cleverly-written, witty, heavily personal (to Mike’s clear annoyance) and haymaker-lit 3rd round to win the battle. 

Verdict: Charlie Clips (W) 2-1 

Favorite line: Charlie Clips -“Guess what? Your girl give me dome and I respect her mind nigga1”

J2 defeats Chess

by

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!”

Shooney Da Rapper defeats Lady Caution

by

Recap: From OSBL, Lady Caution added some sizzling gun bars and Shooney da Rapper came with an additional bunch of righteous darts and scandalous personals, but in a 3-round battle mostly filled with gritty punches, solid name flips and bullish/graphically violent bars from both sides, despite her usual battles keeping her flow intact, It’s the slightly more haymaker-lit Shooney who edges rounds 1 and 2 (call the 3rd debatable) for the win.

Verdict: Shooney Da Rapper (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Shooney Da Rapper – “I’m just trying to school you, with that pretty face and small body bitch you could’a been a drug mule!”

O’fficial defeats Eliza Versa

by

Recap: From Big Tex Battle League, a spirited, aggressive and competitive 3-rounder between O’fficial and Eliza Versa features plenty of fiery gun bars, solid name flips, fierce schemes, stinging/witty personals and gritty punchlines. But while the battle stayed close throughout, it’s the slightly more condensed, less flow-challenged and haymaker-lit O’fficial who edges rounds 1 (call round 2 debatable) and 3 for the win.

Verdict: O’fficial (W) 2-1

Favorite line: O’fficial – “Head shot, I didn’t wanna do it, I’m on a guilt trip, walking around with the titties out, I had a nip slip!”

by

Recap: From The Smoke Room Battle League, a gritty and competitive punch-fest here between Chef Trez and Devo The Kid, filled with plenty of fiery gun bars, hard street themes, some righteous darts, steely punches and solid name flips, isn’t decided till round 3 after the slightly more condensed and punch-heavy Trez took round 1 before Devo returned the favor in round 2. However, continuing to flex his wily punch game with a single rebuttal (tho he a couple of spicy one’s in the middle round) in round 3 while also taking taking advantage of a flow-challenged and more pedestrinn opponent, it’s the more stealthier Chef who takes the 3rd for the win.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I remind ’em as soon as they think they ahead, I really tweak in these small rooms like Day-Day and Craig!”

JC defeats Dizaster

by

Recap: From Rooftop Newz TV’s “Seek and Destroy” card, against a bit of a flow-challenged Dizaster (who’s been battling pretty frequently of late) and his witty personals (and not much else) during what was an elongated turn, JC utilizes a bunch of sharp build-ups/storytelling lines that led to both some dope punches and personals as well as a gang of gritty darts/similes in a much more concise and better executed turn to take this one-rounder.

Verdict: JC (W) 1-0

Favorite line: JC – “Tell all these people where you really been, ‘cuz some of them glad to have you back, but I’m the one lashing the attack, some of these nigga’s might’ve actually missed you…I’m way too accurate for that!”

Chess defeats DDub

by

Recap: A couple of We Go Hard alums, Chess and D Dub, go at it for one round on WhiteRhinoParty Presents ~ FunccShwayyRoom card and perform with the same fiery and competitive energy that their home league is known for. Dub with a dope mix of resonating set-up/punchlines, ill self-deprecating lines and wily/stinging personals, kept it buzzing throughout his round. While Chess kept the stage lit with a bunch of gritty punchlines, hard-hitting name flips, scintillating wordplay, righteous darts and flippant/witty personals of his own. A close one that was certainly worth the price of admission, it’s the slightly more condensed and haymaker-lit Chess who takes it in the end.

Verdict: Chess (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Chess – “We went to jail at a young age, started off in the worse way, he went to jail at a young age…it was Take My Son to Work day!”

Geechi Gotti defeats Quis

by

Recap: From Rooftop News TV, another pretty solid performance from Colorado battler Quis who’s wily set-up/punchlines, drug talk and gritty gun bars/personals for the most part hit their mark. However, when Geechi Gotti is on one, he’s on one. The Compton, CA vet steady flexing with a consistent barrage of flippant personals, boastful barbs, gripping street darts, witty bars and sizzling punches to score more haymakers in each round and earn a 30.

Verdict: Geechi Gotti (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Geechi Gotti – “Fuck a nigga mean?, I’m really about the drama, I done sold everything from cocaine to condoms!”

Casey Jay defeats Jay Love

by

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, a pretty solid effort from We Go Hard’s Jay Love who utilized a bunch of sizzling name flips, gritty punches, unapologetic sexual darts and roughshod gun bars keep things competitive here against Casey Jay. But clearly turned up from the jump, the Bardashian reminded her opponent that there’s levels to this. Casey Jay straight spazzing in rounds 1 and 2 with a gang of scintillating/bullish punchlines, boastful barbs, wily/hard-hitting personals, flippant name flips of her own and other violent-themed bars to score more haymakers and edge both of the opening rounds, before Love returned the favor in the 3rd to avoid the shutout.

Verdict: Casey Jay (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Casey Jay – “I can’t stand these bitches, I’ll punch ya in ya glasses until they contact lenses!”

O’fficial defeats Cheyraq

by

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, a bunch of crazy punchlines, stirring name flips/personals and graphic/violent-themed gun bars kept this 3-rounder between O’fficial and Cheyraq fiery and competitive.

Verdict: O’fficial (W) 2-1

Favorite line: O’fficial – “Your nigga got beat up by a snitch, he don’t know how to fight!”

JC defeats Midas

by

Recap: From Dark Horse Battle League, a close and competitive 3-rounder (with an added round 1 shoulder bump from Midas that’d make Ace Amin proud) between JC and Georgia battle rapper Midas features plenty of death-gripping bars, brash punches and slick wordplay from both sides. Add to the mix a bunch of fly name flips from JC as well as witty (“You really fucked me up that battle, that nigga Surf beat ya ass so bad they locked him up right after!”) personals from Midas and for the latter anyway, it’s an impressive performance that should warrant some plates from the big leagues. Nonetheless, after a debatable round 1, thanks in part to Midas dishing some pedestrian bars and struggling a bit at times with his flow, it’s the more cohesive, set-up crazy and slightly more haymaker-lit JC who edges rounds 2 and 3 for the win.

Verdict: JC (W) 2-1

Favorite line: JC – “Y’all wanna know why nigga’s like you attract danger?, ya get ahead and get outta line…like the Black Ranger!”

Chef Trez defeats Cheyraq

by

Recap: From Dark Horse Battle League, in light of a pretty (outside of a shortened round 2) sturdy and often punch-heavy effort from Cheyraq, a slightly more formidable and versatile Chef Trez uses a shitload of fiery gun bars, gritty punchlines, fire rebuttals/freestyles and piercing name flips/personals to take all 3 rounds for the Gentlemen’s 30.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I don’t think she a demon, I could not be shook, a baker passed you to a Chef, how could you not get cooked!”

Rum Nitty defeats Calicoe

by

Recap: Two longtime top tiers who haven’t met up yet is a rare event in battle rap these days. But for 3 rounds Rum Nitty and Calicoe finally link up on Takeova Battle League and it’s a goodie. The battle staying competitive throughout what with Cal’s boastful raps laced with brash street themes, witty barbs and wily darts/personals competing hard against Run’s infinite punching power, piercing wordplay/similes and head-ringing gun bars. Still, it’s the slightly more haymaker-lit and steady hitting Calicoe who edges round 1, before Nitty, getting spicier and flat-out more intricate as the battle proceeded edged rounds 2 and 3 for the comeback win.

Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Rum Nitty – “I know a nigga that survived from a face shot, it was something to learn from, he almost died and lost an eye, then God gave him a 3rd one!”

Quill defeats Dizaster

by

Recap: In this one-round battle from Straight Drop Media, UK rapper Quill delivers a tight, consistent performance, blending witty barbs, clever personals, performance-driven lines, boastful darts and gritty punchlines in a condensed and focused turn that works effectively to outscore Dizaster, whose approach, though at times brash, punch-heavy, and scheme-driven, was also elongated, inconsistent and too often weighed down by filler.

Verdict: Quill (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Quill – “Big shank for these Americans who think I can’t cut it!”

Shotgun Suge defeats P.A.Y.N.E.

by

Recap: From Street Talk Ent, against a gritty and aggressive but mostly pedestrian P.A.Y.N.E., Shotgun Suge uses a bunch of hitting name flips, stirring trap talk and hard-hitting punchlines/gun bars to score more haymakers and handily take all 3 rounds in this one-sided 3-rounder.

Verdict: Shotgun Suge (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Shotgun Suge – “I been through everything in this shit, I’m talking all tiers, and my Plug never changed my number like Paul Pierce!”

Swamp defeats Kalico Nice

by

Recap: In this one-rounder from Genocide Battle League, up-and-comer Kalico Nice puts on a solid performance that’s both witty and hitting at times while also showing some versatility, even though overall he was fairly mid. Nice’s showing left South Carolina’s own Swamp, armed with a rich arsenal of boastful barbs, a fly rebuttal, gritty punchlines, hitting personals, and solid name flips, to easily take the battle with more haymakers.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Swamp – “I really come from the country, my plug make sure I’m secure with bails, and I’m a cowboy, my boots been on the ground long before that light-skinned girl Janelle!”

Ave defeats Cortez

by

Recap: From TBL, a fiery and competitive 3-rounder between Cortez and Ave. The former showing plenty of grit and versatility via a gang of steely street shit, wily name flips, aggressive braggadocious darts, flexing wordplay and stinging personals/punchlines, tho he did have bouts of lukewarm bars at times. While the slightly more condensed Norfolk, VA, battler dished yet another strong and consistent punch game, when he wasn’t also scoring with a plethora of hardbody personals, stirring name flips, bravel raps and piercing gun bars. Close throughout, outside of a debatable round 2 it’s the more punch-heavy and steady lit Ave who edges the 1st and 3rd rounds for the win.

Verdict: Ave (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Ave – “If we get jammed my lawyer is so proper, we don’t get charged for sliding on court [Cort], we Globetrotters!”

Verdict: Coffee Brown (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Coffee Brown – “Fat nigga asked me my favorite pie flavor, I told this nigga Apple pay!”

Yunus defeats Arsonal

by

Recap: New era battle rapper Yunus faced off against veteran battle rapper Arsonal on the big stage at URL’s Summer Madness XV, and for the most part, it was a goodie. The rapid-punching, wordplay-lit, and often brash Maryland lyricist delivering three rounds of pure excellence, packed with plenty of performance-heavy darts, fly multi’s, dope personals, piercing name flips/schemes and clever flips of his opponent’s slogans. On the other hand, Arsonal was his usual aggressive self but stayed competitive with a barrage of boastful barbs, witty personals, solid schemes, and brazen gun bars. He even threw in a couple of dope rebuttals to show the young gun he wasn’t going down easy. Still, outside of a debatable round 2, this one goes to Yunus. Mr. “Out the Gate” showcasing superior creativity, cohesion, and more consistent haymakers in rounds 1 and 3 to secure the win.

Verdict: Yunus (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Yunus – “Madness, he gonna be the meme of the day, when I bring a knife, swing and slice, it go from him C-walking to fans saying ‘Jesus Christ!'”

Coffee Brown defeats Renaya

by

Recap: From Straight Drop Media, versus a witty and personal-lit at times, but overall mostly pedestrian punch-wise Renaya, Coffee Brown makes easy work against the UK battler. The Cali vet (who’s been battling quite a bit in 2025) utilizing a gang of gritty punchlines, braggadocios darts, feelgood wordplay and wily personals to score more haymakers in each round for the 30.

Verdict: Coffee Brown (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Coffee Brown – “See I’m from San Bernadino, that means I’m from the streets, you can’t knock Coffee out, I wasn’t made to go to sleep!”

Charlie Clips defeats LL Coogi

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from Kill Switch Battle League, an elongated but mostly steady Charlie Clips uses a plethora of hitting freestyles/rebuttals, witty personals, feelgood name flip/schemes, piercing gun bars and fly set-up/punchlines to beat back a gritty, gun bar-heavy and pretty solid, but not as haymaker-friendly effort from LL Coogi.

Verdict: Charlie Clips (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Charlie Clips – “I usually only bring one gun, but tonight I brought a spare [spear] because he African!”

Footz and Mazi [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: In this tight 3-rounder from Ruin Your Day, Footz and Mazi both get busy and competitive with a gang of fiery name flips, gritty punchlines, rich metaphors, slinging gun bars and boastful/violent-themed (Footz: “Knock his teeth, you gonna need whole new fronts, you ain’t learn ya lesson fucking with the Repo man?, I already told you once!”) darts. Add some flair with plenty of verbal linguistics from both battlers and outside of Footz struggling a but with his flow at times, this one stayed heated. That said, an equally fierce and punch-heavy turn from Mazi and Footz makes for a debatable round 1. Afterwards, the slightly more haymaker-lit Footz manages to edge round 2 before Mazt comes back and returns the favor in round 3 to make this one even.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Mazi – “You got a problem?, lemme take a stab at it, remain calm, you got a knife in this shoe? well the blade poking outta Footz…James Bond!”

A. Ward defeats T-Top

by

Recap: From URL, A. Ward’s decade long anti-URL crusade (and ego) finally pays off and gets him his first battle on the ‘World’s Most Respected’ league at its highest level: Summer Madness XV against T-Top in the UK. And credit to Ward for making it all well worth the wait as the battle stayed competitive, performative and lit (thanks in part to a hyped London crowd that stayed in tune to every bar) throughout. Yet, while both battlers came with plenty of consistent heat and crowd-pleasing antics, Top’s penchant for elongated rounds (as well as his opponent’s syrupy comeuppance in the latter two rounds) would hurt him in the end. The Bear edging round 1 with some fierce off-the-dome tropes to along with a gang of gritty punchlines, witty barbs, wily personals/name flips, righteous trap talk and piercing gun bars in a 10-minute round that was unbridled enough to beat a game and pretty nice/versatile turn by Ward. However, rounds 2 and 3 would tell a different story. A slightly more condensed and steadier with the punches A. Ward delivering a superb round 2 (to edge that round) with some dope rebuttals, a bunch of stifling set-up/punchlines/gun darts, boastful darts, spicy religious themes and witty/hardbody personals as well as a crazy turn in the decisive 3rd with more of the same potent bars and feelgood wordplay to again beat back Top (who delivered two more pretty solid turns, but succumbed to some filler and pedestrian lines in both of the latter rounds) and earn a comeback win.

Verdict: A. Ward (W) 2-1

Favorite line: A. Ward – “The clip hang like an apostrophe in front of T, you think I can’t or won’t, don’t!”

Swamp defeats Geechie Lyfe Diggy

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from Gates of the Garden, a more consistently hitting Swamp uses a bunch of gritty punchlines, boastful barbs, wily personals and surprisingly a couple of flexing rebuttals to outscore a pretty solid showing from Geechie Lyfe Diggy.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Swamp – “I’m not the page [Paige] you get to smoke, I ain’t a loose leaf!”

Shotty Horroh and Geechi Gotti [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: Apparently that still unseen Shotty Horroh battle vs. K-Shine gave the UK vet’s battle career a new grip on life. Indeed, enough hype to earn him his 1st appearance on URL, on its biggest platform, Summer Madness XV versus Geechi Gotti. And outside of Gotti struggling with his flow (esp. in round 1), this 3-rounder was a goodie. The ever-confident Shooty flexing in front of his honetown UK fans with a bunch of fiery set-up/punchlines, vicious/mayhem-lit darts, rich storytelling and some hard-hitting/mocking personals (“When I wanted to send a message a over C’s [overseas], I dropped the K!”). While Geechi showed out vua a gang of hardbody gang talk, gritty punchlines, boastful barns, stinging gun bars and piercing personals of his own. A slightly more clean and haymaker-lit Shotty would take round, before a couple of solid rebuttals by Gotti would get him a tie in round after another strong round by Shotty. Despite a solid turn, too much slow build-ups and filler would hurt Shotty in the 3rd, allowing an elongated, but still slightly more punch-heavy and consistent Geechi to take the final round and make this one debatable.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Geechi Gotti – “I ain’t never skilled with a blade before, I figured I could take a stab at it!”

Chef Trez defeats Gas Jordan

by

Recap: From Flatline Battle Grounds, hitting consistently with a gang of gritty punchlines and steely street shit, Gas Jordan is able to stay competitive for both of the opening rounds before fakltering a bit in round 3 due to struggles with his flow. But a Chef Trez on one via a shitload of fiery gun bars, spicy name flips, graphic/violent prone punches and sturdy rebuttals/freestyles proves to be too formidable all the while scoring more haymakers in each round to earn the 30.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You a nerd, but we gonna let bygones be bygones, but when they ask who the best they repeat my name, I’m talking ‘Dylan’!”

Bigg K defeats Tink Da Demon

by

Recap: From Street Talk Ent, after a competitive and debatable round 1 here between a punch-lit Bigg K and a graphic and violence-prone Tink Da Demon, it’s all downhill from there for the Delaware vet. Da Demon succumbing to a choke in round 2 and gang of mostly pedestrian bars in round 3 that was handily countered by the witty personals, sturdy metaphorical name flips, some cool wordplay and hitting punches from K, thus giving The Dawg another win.

Verdict: Bigg K (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Bigg K – “And this is where the shit starts now, he gonna reference a guillotine in his sick dark rounds, rapping about the medieval times, get lost clown, you not evil but you really got the mid part down!”

Chef Trez defeats Cammo

by

Recap: From Brick Black Series, Chef Trez utilizes a bunch of fiery/graphic gun bars, boastful barbs/personals, solid name flips, hitting rebuttals and gritty punchlines to score more haymakers and handily take all 3 rounds of this 3-rounder against a solid-punching and competitive for 2 rounds (before faltering in the 3rd due to a choke) Cammo.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You gotta be the dumbest nigga, you can’t hit the field with me O be in the huddle tripping, I got substance with it, the subject different, I’m in the big leagues and it’s halftime, I got tunnel vision!”

Marv Won defeats Arsonal

by

Recap: From TBL, Marv Won with a gang of braggadocious darts and nasty punchlines and Arsonal steady talking that gritty street/trap shit, split the opening round. However, after round 1 things between two longtime battlers begin to differentiate. A slightly more condensed Marv adding some spicy street lines to an already buttered mix of hitting punches and slick wordplay, while Ars (who to his credit rarely went with the personals one would expect against Marv) still competitive, aggressive and scoring here and there with high-powered heat, was a little too mired in pedestrian bars in both the 2nd and 3rd rounds to keep up with his opponent’s steadier itinerary.

Verdict: Marv Won (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Marv Won – “He step, I jab, nigga I create the spaces, plus I hate this fakeness that people mistake as greatness, when I was Bad News for everybody in front of me, I had to make a statement!”

Tay Roc defeats Bizzo Bond

by

Recap: From Buy The Pound/Straight Drop Media, a day before his URL Summer Madness battle against Fonz, Tay Roc secures an extra bag for himself with this 1-rounder vs. UK batter Bizzo Bond. And it’s a goodie. A steady punching Bond delivering some sturdy punchlines, when he wasn’t also scoring via a bunch of hitting name/”Dracula” flips to stay competitive. While Roc displayed no sign of wear, consistently dishing a gang of stinging name flips of his own as well as some fiery wordplay, piercing UK colloquialisms, loaded personals, heated gun bars and gritty set-up/punches in a more haymaker-lit fashion to earn the win.

Verdict: Tay Roc (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Tay Roc – “Rappers like you come a dime a dozen, like a pyramid scheme!”

Hollow da Don defeats Chef Trez

by

Recap: In a 3-round battle that probably would’ve had more energy and excitement to it on an old RBE stage (Street Talk Ent really needs to get its decor and buzz together), Hollow Da Don utilizes a bunch of festive wordplay, off-the-dome zingers, fervent name flips, witty barbs and greasy punchlines/personals to fend off a solid overall, rebuttal-spent, gritty punching and gun-bar/personal-lit at times, but often elongated and persistently mid Chef Trez in the opening rounds for the win. Apparently looking to get out of there with the quickness after his 2nd, a pretty dope but shortened turn by Hollow in the final round coupled with Chef stepping it up via a gang of consistently sturdy darts would pass up any chance for a shutout.

Verdict: Hollow Da Don (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Hollow Da Don – “I tell my shooters overstep, don’t be cute, buck-it [bucket], ugly, Jokic left!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Kash Money

by

Recap: From Public Influence Battle League, considering that he took the battle on 5 days prep (replacing Mackk Myron at the last-minute), one can give a mulligan to Kash Money for the struggles he endured with his flow during the first couple of rounds here against Nu Jerzey Twork. And while the gun bat-lit and street-themed Money would finally get it together in the 3rd with a consistently punch-heavy run that edged him the round, by then the battle was over. An emboldened Twork utilizing a fire ‘Ray’ flick rebuttal to go along with a gang of gritty set-up/punchlines, piercing name flips, graphic/violent-themed darts and gutsy burners to handily take both of opening rounds for the win.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Squeeze the can, I’m a squeeze the piece, shit will leave your team deceased, I know y’all stick together like a river dam, so they find y’all somewhere in Beaver Creek!”

JC defeats Footz

by

Recap: From URL’s Banned card, a close one between JC (who’s been battling quite a bit lately) and Footz goes to the former. The EFB vet flexing with a gang of morbid punchlines, piercing name flips, solid wordplay and boastful barbs to score more haymakers and edge rounds 1 and 2 for the win. In round 3, the consistently spicy rapid-fire punches and steely darts from Footz would work to out-flex a pretty solid, but flow-challenged turn from JC and avoid the shutout.

Verdict: JC (W) 2-1

Favorite line: JC – “You can move like a YN and I’ll be a YN…W Melly!”

Arsonal defeats Real Deal

by

Recap: A 3-rounder from Street Talk Ent that saw neither an inconsistent Arsonal or a vocab-lit, but pretty mediocre throughout Real Deal on their A-game, still stays close till the end. Da Rebel, after the two (Ars out-punching and edging round 1 and Real Deal returning the favor in round 2) split the first two rounds, managing to deliver enough stealthy punches in the deciding 3rd to edge the round and the win.

Verdict: Arsonal (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Arsonal – “I keep the pound, he hit the ground harder than when a midget fall!”

Chess defeats Klutz

by

Recap: Admittedly, the “fake choke” by Klutz in round 1 of this URL 3-rounder fooled me at first, but at the end of the day it didn’t make a difference to the final outcome–that shows you how dope Chess’ opening round was. The Young Gawd getting busy with a gang of searing set-up/punchlines, righteous heaters, boastful barbs, sizzling name flips and fire gun bars/personals to score more haymakers and edge the round over an astute and often punch/personal-heavy, but not as consistently rich turn by Klutz. Nonetheless, the Crucible grad would come back in round 2, utilizing a bunch of hitting personals, piercing set-ups/punchlines, braggadocious, shrewd Chess slogans and witty lines to edge the middle round over a pretty solid, but a bit filler-prone turn by his opponent. Tied going into the 3rd, another competitive and close round would be edged by Chess. The Gun Titles spitter dishing a hard-hitting, street-themed, wordplay-lit and slightly punch-heavier round to take the round and the win.

Verdict: Chess (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chess – “Yeah, I was a high-school dropout who had perfect grades in Chemist class!”

Coffee Brown defeats Bailey Lee

by

Recap: In this 3-round bout from Calicoe’s Black Mafia Battle League, Coffee Brown controlled the battle throughout with a steady mix of gritty punchlines, solid wordplay/schemes, raucous street-heavy raps, braggadocious crime-laced tales, and sharp Detroit-flavored personals. In addition Coffee’s lucid gun bars and clever angles hit especially hard when contrasted with Bailey Lee’s alleged law enforcement gig, giving the Cali vet an edge in every round, thus leading to a 30. And while Bailey Lee brought consistent aggression, some flexing punches, flashes of grit, and some sexually charged personals that kept the battle competitive, struggles with her flow as well as a thinner bag of material left her unable to match Coffee’s steady stream of haymakers.

Verdict: Coffee Brown (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Coffee Brown – “When they say Coffee mug bitches it ain’t a drink, I fuck with real shooters, when I piss on they heads it wasn’t for kinks!”

Coffee Brown defeats Aeon

by

Recap: In this 3-rounder from Public Influence Battle League, as per usual Aeon keeps it competitive, wordplay-lit and gangsta, but also adds a bunch of sizzling name flips and gritty punchlines to stay in the mix. But a little too much filler from the Chicago up-n-comer plus a more versatile Coffee Brown flexing throughout the battle with a gang of hard-hitting personals, a fire 2nd round rebuttal, stinging gun bars, stifling street talk, sturdy name flips and piercing punches would overwhelm her opponent in rounds 1 and 2 for the win before a debatable 3rd.

Verdict: Coffee Brown (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Coffee Brown – “I will turn this shit into a construction site, put you through hell, I could put holes in a stud bitch…I’m tough as nails!”

Kyd Slade defeats Woosaah

by

Recap: Outside of Kyd Slade struggling a bit with his flow (esp. in round 1), it’s a crazy 3-rounder here between Slade and Woosaah that’s brought to you from URL. The two battlers trading a gang of rugged street talk, fiery trials, raucous set-up/punchlines, tribulations of the drug trade and gritty gun bars to make for a dope battle from start to finish. That said, for Slade things looked a little bleak at the beginning, what with an aggressive and rapid-punching Woosaah dropping steely haymakers left and right to soundly beat a pretty solid, but flow-challenged turn from his opponent. However, the latter two rounds would tell a different story for Slade. The Hartford, CT, spitter upping his game with a plethora of blistering ‘plug talk’, perfunctory trap talk (esp. during a superb 2nd round), killer name flips, stinging metaphors and crazy dope boy narratives that brought the listener to the streets. And while a pretty sturdy overall and personal-lit Woosaah stayed in the fight, it’s the slightly more consistently nice and haymaker-rich Slade who would take rounds 2 and 3 for the comeback win.

Verdict: Kyd Slade (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Kyd Slade – “I had real opps, I move with a gauge to take a walk, it made me limp so I walked with a cane to play it off!”

Marv Won defeats Loso

by

Recap: In this often brash, punch-heavy at times and personal-lit 3-rounder from Takeova Battle League, a more steady hitting Marv Won adds some wit to the mix as well as a spicy rebuttal in round 3 to outpoint Loso in both the opening (score the 2nd a debatable) and final round for the win.

Verdict: Marv Won (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Marv Won – “Bro, you could find me where real nigga’s be, I’m where the gangsta’s, the hustlers, the playa’s, the killers be, literally, I’m tired of you hiding behind your ministry, ‘cuz I’m an animal, I got a hundred gorilla’s arguing about killing me!”

Fonz defeats T-Top

by

Recap: Former NWX members, Fonz and T-Top, meet up on Street Talk Ent and for the most part it’s a doozy. T-Top delivering a gritty assortment of rugged trap talk, witty personals/storytelling and hitting punchlines, stayed competitive except for when he was (esp. in round 2) struggling with his flow. While Fonz, bullish as ever with his punch game, also brought the heat when it came to fiery gun bars, wily personals of his own, a couple of solid rebuttals and boastful darts. However, after a debatable opening round, it’s the more steadier with the punches, condensed and haymaker-lit Fonz who takes each of the latter for the win.

Verdict: Fonz (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Fonz – “Ain’t you a drug lord?, when the next time your fat ass run on the muthaphuckin’ plug, It’s gonna be a breathing machine!”

Tay Roc defeats Quest Mcody

by

Recap: From Public Influence Battle League, scoring way more haymakers and dominating the 1st and 3rd rounds with a plethora of pugnacious/violence-themed schemes, sizzling gun bars, flexing name flips, wily personals and gritty punchlines, Tay Roc gets the win over an aggressive and pretty solid overall, but not (except for round 2 where he delivered a more punch-heavy, pointed, personal-lit [that ‘You got robbed at fist point nigga’ line was hilarious] and consistent turn to make it a debatable) nearly as steadily hitting with the punches Quest Mcody.

Verdict: Tay Roc (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Tay Roc – “You wanna make a name off Roc?, here’s a headstone!”

Ill Will defeats Cortez

by

Recap: The irony of Street Talk Ent booking Cortez (long known for his racy street talk) certainly wasn’t lost here. However, against an Ill Will who while getting off to a bit of a slow start in each of his 3 rounds, still managed to turn it up eventually and steadily score when it came to boastful barbs, bodacious punchlines, witty barbs and hitting name flips, Cort’s gritty darts, violent-themed bars and greasy wordplay wouldn’t hold up. Not in the first of couple of rounds anyway. Thus, a slightly more condensed Will scoring more haymakers to take the 1st and 2nd rounds for the win, before things got a little spicy, more personal and even off-the-dome-ish on both sides during a debatable 3rd.

Verdict: Ill Will (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Ill Will – “You peep the divide?, don’t make me retort, this ain’t gonna go like how you thought it was gonna like a cheap resort!”

J Morr defeats KD

by

Recap: From T-Top’s Hunting Season 3 card, against a consistently gritty, sometimes personal-lit and competitive KD, overall a slightly more condensed J Morr uses a bunch of fierce similes, nasty gun bars, witty darts, wily personals/name flips and graphic/greasy street-themed punches to edge all 3 rounds for the Gentlemen’s 30.

Verdict: J Morr (W) 3-0

Favorite line: J Morr – “Nigga, I ain’t know pussy was contagious, you trying to make me sick!”

Geechi Gotti defeats Fatx

by

Recap: After a hilarious face-off, battle rap up-n-comer Fatx and Geechi Gotti meet up for 3 rounds on Public Influence Battle League and it turned out to be a goodie. A confident Fatx for the most part held his own when it came to aggression, gritty punchlines and wily gun bars. However versus a newbie too often mired in pedestrian bars, Gotti more than took advantage. The West-coast vet for all 3 rounds consistently dishing a gang of mocking/witty personals, flippant name flips, hard-hitting street/gun bars, boastful barbs and fire punches to outwork his opponent and catch a 30.

Verdict: Geechi Gotti (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Geechi Gotti – “If you don’t let off the whole clip during a shootout, you really ain’t doing ya job, I remember on one mission I had so much gunpowder on my hands I could do the Lebron!”

Geechi Gotti defeats 40 B.A.R.R.S.

by

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, outside of a lackluster and shortened round 1 from 40 B.A.R.R.S., this 3-rounder between 40 and Geechi Gotti (who handily took the opening round on his round with a witty, disrespectful and haymaker-drenched turn) turned out to be a competitive goodie. Round 2 was a close one, but with 40 upping the ante when it came to hard-hitting personals and flexing punches, her overall performance would be just enough to edge a hardbody and sexually explicit but slightly flawed when it came to his flow, turn by Gotti. Tied going into the 3rd, after a bit of a slow start 40 would deliver yet another punch-heavy round. But a slip-up by 40 at the beginning of her round combined with a versatile, witty, steady, rebuttal-dishing and personal-lit run by Geechi would give Gotti the round and the win.

Verdict: Geechi Gotti (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Geechi Gotti – “I’m too serious, I’ll beat blood out this bitch, she gonna feel like she had two period’s!”

Charlie Clips defeats Loso

by

Recap: In a 3-round battle from Street Talk Ent (which really needs to switch up and go with an up-n-close pit format instead of the stage when it comes to battle rap) that was pretty mid all around, Charlie Clips uses a bunch of solid Christian-themed personals, piercing schemes/punches, storied freestyles and witty barbs to handily take all 3 rounds for the win over a mostly pedestrian Loso.

Verdict: Charlie Clips (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Charlie Clips – “While you in the crib with a bitch, probably drinking on Shardai, I’m in ya mother’s house giving her 3rd leg like a parlay!”

Loso defeats J Morr

by

Recap: Battling Loso on his hole turf in Florida, an ever aggressive and dialed-up J Morr uses a bunch of disrespectful, Christian-themed raps, slinging gun bars, gritty punches and bullish boasts to stay competitive. But a consistently spicy Loso on his A-game (esp. when it came to keeping his flow intact) throughout flexes in front of the home crowd with a handful of fire rebuttals, piercing name flips, righteous darts, hard-hitting personals and fiery punches/schemes to score more haymakers and edge round 1, and despite Morr returning the favor in round 2, thanks in part to a shortened turn by his opponent in the deciding 3rd, the Christian battler would still deliver a much more punch-heavy round to gain the win.

Verdict: Loso (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Loso – “Man you are no killer, you should’ve called off, he became a Crip later in life and like Christopher Reeves, and because of a Horse he about to fall off!”

JC defeats A. Ward

by

Recap: From Public Influence Battle League, sidestepping (for the most part) the death-gripping landscape we’re used to seeking from him, JC utilizes (esp. in round 3) a gang of righteous darts on battle rap, etc., stinging set-up/punchlines, hard-hitting religious-themed bars, a rare (and fire) rebuttal and piercing name flips/schemes to deliver a Gentlemen’s 3-0 on A. Ward, who while crazy with the rebuttals and freestyles, was mostly hit-n-miss with the punches/personals esp. when mired in one too many reaches, indirect punches and standard filler.

Verdict: JC (W) 3-0

Favorite line: JC – “Y’all seem the score, they want battle rap to focus on everything except who bringing war, and now we gotta put a lens on ghostwriting…like a Yugioh board!”

Rum Nitty defeats Newz

by

Recap: In this fiery, competitive 3-rounder from The Battle Academy, Rum Nitty’s storied gun bars, graphic mayhem, frenzied wordplay and piercing punchlines are enough to score more haymakers and edge the stinging and gritty street-themed raps from Newz in both of the opening rounds for the win. Despite another spirited and solid turn from Nitty in the 3rd, Newz’ more blazing punches and steady darts would be enough to take the final round and avoid the shutout.

Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Rum Nitty – “If I let it go in public, then your dog Walker gonna need a shitbag!”

Chef Trez defeats Just B

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from The Boiling Point, Just B delivers an impressive performance, utilizing a plethora of gritty punchlines and ill street semantics/name flips to stay competitive. However, a Chef Trez armed with a gang of potent gun bars, hard-hitting schemes, a trio of them thangs that included a mid-round round rebuttal and a bunch of wicked punches/boastful barbs of his own, scores more than enough haymakers to take it in the end.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “We both Studio members but you can’t rap with me, I’m pro Tools and Logic but what gives you the Audacity!”

Nu Jerzey Twork and Steams [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: In this 3-rounder from Street Talk Ent, Steams’ rumble-tumble punches and wily wordplay versus Nu Jerzey Twork’s bullish punchlines/gun bars, searing name flips and piercing personals end up in a debatable. The slightly more haymaker-lit Twork (while also taking advantage of his opponent struggling a bit with his flow) winning round 1, before an equally punch-lit 2nd round from (Steams: “Play ya part, ‘cuz you’ll go into the light when I make it dark, if you get caught I’ll bet this bitch jersey sell out like Caitlin Clark!”) both battlers made for a tie there. The 3rd round however, a winnable one for NJT what with Steams delivering a pretty mid turn, gets edged by the We Go Hard vet thanks to Twork’s mostly pedestrian punches.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Nu Jersey Twork – “Rest in peace to MO3, he was killing truly, I’m talking ‘They scared to come outside’ like the Sinners movie!”

Los Premee defeats Yunus

by

Recap: From iBattle TV, in a battle that was pretty heated and personal at times, what with past words exchanged and tension between the two battlers going into this 3-rounder. Against the rapid-fire punches, wily similes and African/virgin-drenched personals from up-n-comer Los Premee (if URL could let Chess skip the Proving Grounds, I don’t see why they can’t do the same for a rising star like Los when it comes to the Crucibles), Yunus stays competitive with a gang of gritty punchlines, searing wordplay and hard-hitting personals of his own. However, unable to score as many haymakers as his opponent in round 1 coupled with a mid-round major slip-up by Yunus in round 2 helps a tenacious Los Premee take both of the opening rounds for the win before a 3rd round debatable.

Verdict: Los Premee (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Los Premee – “You ever stared down the barrel of a gun?, that shit induces trauma, this ratchet is an eye-opener…Futurama!”

Chess defeats P.A.Y.N.E.

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from The Fight Back Arena, P.A.Y.N.E.’s graphic violent-themed street raps, solid personals and wily name flips make for a competitive show. But with his own wide variety of stinging name flips coupled with more systematic wordplay, boastful barbs and a gang of flippant punches, a slightly more condensed and haymaker-lit Chess earns the win.

Verdict: Chess (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Chess – “The fans kept saying I had to get some shit in line, I’m really back P.A.Y.N.E. [pain], that mean I won’t slip this [disc] time!”

Jey The Nitewing and NXT (DEBATABLE)

by

Recap: From Mic Masters Alliance, a dope, at times scheme-heavy, consistently fiery three-round clash between West Coast battlers Jey The Nitewing and NXT. The matchup being a bit of a style clash, what with NXT’s loud, aggressive delivery versus Jey’s high-pitched baritone and slowed, almost “relaxed” pontifications made for an ill performance and both battlers delivered. Jey and NXT coming heavily armed with crazy similes, sizzling name flips, gritty punchlines, and sharp, witty personals. NXT would take Round 1 with a plethora of steely (“I don’t think wing could get fly, I’m a hypocrite, this first one…indigenous”) wordplay/punches which led to steady haymakers in a round that was also aided by a rare slip-up from Jey. Round 2 was tight overall, but edged by Jey, who packed more condensed haymakers into his material than his opponent. The final round, electric and captivating on both sides, saw both emcees land equally hard-hitting shots, making it an even split and the battle itself debatable.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “War tactics, pen firing and I’m exploding with that shit, I don’t focus on fashion, RIP clothing for all your homies to match with!”

Charron defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: From The Battle Academy, good idea on Bill Collector’s part to keep his rounds short and condensed versus a battler like Charron who’s known for elongated rounds. However, after a debatable round 1 between the two, Charron’s rapid-fire punches filled to the brim with plenty of scintillating name flips, witty barbs, hard-hitting personals and stinging punches would prove to be too much for an opponent wrapped in way too may pedestrian bars in round 2, and while a bit more competitive in round 3, still couldn’t keep up with Billy Pistol’s scorching amount of haymakers.

Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Charron – “The pocket check was invented on you and there’s nothing in it!”

Shotgun Suge defeats J Dose

by

Recap: Yes, it’s 2025 and infamous Smack DVD era boul J Dose still battle raps. But in this 1-rounder from The Battle Academy, despite rapping way longer than his opponent, the Philly battler’s gritty punchlines and character assassination attempts (repeatedly accusing Shotgun Suge of stealing some bars from him) for the most part land with little impact. Thus leaving a much more condensed, rapid/steely-punching, personal-lit and haymaker-friendly Suge with an easy win.

Verdict: Shotgun Suge (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Shotgun Suge – “You tried to say I stole from you?, I should shame you, ‘cuz the only thing I’d ever take is the life that God gave you!”

Real Name Brandon defeats Snake Eyez

by

Recap: From The Riot, Snake Eyez with usual assortment of brash raps, gritty punches, disrespectful darts and hard-hitting/witty personals versus Real Name Brandon with his slick wordplay, rapid/nasty punchlines and hardbody street tales makes for a dope 3-rounder…for one round anyway. After a crazy-on-both-sides, debatable round 1, it was pretty much downhill from there. Snake staying aggressive in the latter rounds, but clearly thwarted on subject matter while succumbing to one too many pedestrian lines. While RNB stayed consistent, scoring with an addition of fly schemes, fire sturytelling and clever disses what with an already dope punch game and handily taking rounds 2 and 3 for the win.

Verdict: Real Name Brandon (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Real Name Brandon – “We used to think she was rich, I ain’t even embellish it, we just expected granny to have it…like a peppermint!”

Chef Trez defeats Ton

by

Recap: A solid round from Ton, who in this 1-rounder from the Gates used a lot of brash street shit and other boastful barbs/name flips to stay competitive. But even with no rebuttal game thanks to him going first, Chef Trez is able to consistently dish out a bunch of hard-hitting freestyles (including a mid-rounder), fiery gun bars, wily name flips and gritty punches to outscore his opponent for the win.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Y’all got me against a fat target, a nigga that got camo pants on but was fatigued before the match started!”
