Awthentic defeats Danny Myers

by

Recap: Fire battle from URL’s Civil War 5 card between Awthentic and Danny Myers with the former’s amiable flow adding plenty of flair to his consisent barrage of stinging wordplay, mayhem-lit darts, oft-seismic punches and braggadocius bars. On the other Danny, even in the face of his opponent’s steady heat, Danny never wilt. The Bar God getting busy with a solid rebuttal game to go along with his usual m.o. of thought-provoking urban street tales, gritty punches, steely gun bars and lofty name flips that would were especially absolute during a sublime 2nd round (i.e. classic) that allowed Danny to split things going into round 3. But while the EFB vet gave a valiant effort in the 3rd (tho he was partly hurt one too many name flips again in the finale), ultimately it was Awthentic’s ability to stay on Danny’s neck with yet another firestorm of dizzying haymakers that would the We Go Hard alum the win.

Verdict: Awthentic (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Awthentic – “I’ll be the only face you see when you die ‘cuz you see I only need God as my witness!”

JC and Awthentic [DEBATABLE]

by

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!’

Chef Trez defeats Awthentic

by

Recap: From URL’s Final Exams card, Chef Trez makes yet another return to Smack and it’s a dope one as opponent Awthentic gives the ATL vet all he can handle. The Connecticut spitter scoring left and right with a buttery, floetic cadence that produced a nice mix of greasy name flips, spirited 4-bar set-up/punchlines and gritty gun bars/personals. And while Awthentic did have some near reaches here and there and almost caught a slip-up in round 2 (which he had enough haymakers/rebuttals to edge), all in all the former Crucible battler certainly kept it competitive throughout, thus making the Chef work for this one. Which he did, displaying a workmanlike performance via a versatile game plan that featured a plethora of piercing heat, fiery punchlines/name flips, hitting personals of his own, nimble at times but effective wordplay, gritty similes, aggressive boasts and of course, steely off-the-dome polemics for all the Trez fans out there expecting such, all the while edging rounds 1 and 3 for the win.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Get a clip, steady aiming set to kill so when the toolie clap, but you can’t guess the gun, dog it’s a mystery machine…they brought Scooby back!”

Awthentic defeats Ru Bando

by

Recap: A highly competitive 3-rounder from We Go Hard between Awthentic and Ru Bando features a lot of ill street rhymes, lucid boasts. piercing name flips, fiery gun bars and hardbody punchlines from both battlers. But after the two split the opening rounds (had Awthentic taking round 1 and before Bando came back to edge round 2), it’s the slightly more consistent and punch-heavy Awthentic who edges the 3rd round for the win.

Verdict: Awthentic (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Awthentic – “Peep the plot, same scenario, I got a got a mask on but the music loud, I had to [stretches arms out like a gun] Rey Mysterio!”

Awthentic defeats Gwitty

by

Recap: From WeGoHard, Long Island, NY versus Long Island, NY aka Gwitty vs. Awthentic stays close for a couple of rounds before a sublime 3rd by an already up 2-0 (thanks to a couple of steadier-hitting and more efficient turns in both of the openers) Awthentic, via a gang of intricate/boastful punches and that more than sizzled with its stream of killer wordplay/similes serves as the coup de grace over an opponent who while clearly prepared with a steady bag of crowd-pleasing euphemisms, gritty street tales and other performance-rich darts, was way too pedestrian overall to keep up.

Verdict: Awthentic (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Awthentic – “3rd round, it’s time to show the nigga he not tough, I’ll put a taser ro this Grape and turn Watts’ up!”

Charlie Clips defeats Awthentic

by

Recap: It’s pretty much an easy lay up for the veteran Charlie Clips versus rookie spitter Awthentic here in this one-rounder from UDubb. Going first, Awthentic remains solid throughout with repeated (“Gun bar God, so I gotta put a rest to Tay Rock, he’ll get shot running on the beach while his Baywatch [bae watch]”!) punches that often land. However, his lack of versatility with the bars and any haymakers stands out and against a vet like Clips, that’s a huge no-no. Thus dishing a nice combo of nimble (“My work is Ivy league schools, y’all don’t get it till I shake it well, I got the Brown from Columbia, one sniff will make him Yale [yell]”!) schemes, charismatic name flips and righteous gun raps, it’s another day at the office for Clips.

Verdict: Charlie Clips (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Charlie Clips – “Al Bundy, I got my dog getting bucks, ‘cuz he watching the Bud until it’s overgrown, I’m in the hood charging 3 for the white because of Post Malone”
