Mike P defeats Aura

Recap: Don’t let the 3-0 fool you as this was a pretty dope and close battle between Mike P and Aura, especially the latter two rounds. Round one was the only clear round as Mike’s personals and more versatile schemes outshined what was mostly standard braggadocio/gun lines from Aura. A much tighter 2nd round had both dropping an equal amount of haymakers (Mike P: “I bet you think ‘cuz I’m white I prospered, faggot my life was bonkers, you probably pushed coke right?, well I relied on it, you fight the streets, I fight the product!”; Aura – “If I clap you…fine, just know that I pack two .9’s for nigga’s thinking that I’m 30”, “….if Beasley offered you a million views, would you want to take a Smack [smack] again?”), but a slight slip-up and a nonsensical bar (ENJ didn’t get ‘snuffed on camera’, he actually is the one who threw the punch in the infamous Oh you Mad Cuz I’m Stylin’ On Ya video) from Aura gave Mike the edge. And while they both came hard in the 3rd, continuous freshly-dipped wordplay and aggressively nice (“I’ll celebrate your death, hell they all brewing, I’ll shake a champagne bottle and shoot the cork through him!”) punchlines from Mike edged what was an overall solid, but too much filler-spiced 3rd from his opponent.

Verdict: Mike P (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Mike P – “So act tough, you’ll get slept or dizzy, point is just keep a arm up the whole time, you Chess verse Gwitty!”

Xcel defeats Aura

Recap: Where the hell has Dot Mobb been keeping this Aura kid? Literally slinging a barrage of hot (“I’ll give him [points] four from the deuce, it’s your time square”) bars and slick (“He’s really, made for the one-shot kill, but I’ll give him a second like…’he’s busy'”) wordplay throughout this surprisingly dope matchup with Xcel, if it wasn’t for Xcel dropping more crazy  (“Hey Norbes, you dead wrong for putting the boy in this trap, dog you put a Dot against a nigga with stripes, ain’t that a mis match?”) haymakers and flexing double entendre’s in rounds one and two, the kid would’ve pulled off a mild upset here. Indeed, if Aura slows his flow down just a tad bit and adds a little more variety to his bars, this kid will have a bright future in battle rap

Verdict: Xcel (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Xcel: – “My rebel arm on steroids, that mean my pen strong”

Presidential Dubz defeats Aura

Recap: While bar lovers will like this one, for Aura anyway, too many of his speedy darts had a standard, generic feel that could’ve been thrown at anybody. Thus, Presidential Dubz with more variety to his performance, including some nice name flips and yes, even some paperwork, edged the 1st and 3rd rounds to take it in the end.

Verdict: Presidential Dubz (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Presidential Dubz – “He a lost nigga trying to find himself…I see the maze in you!”
