Recap: From Takeova Battle League, against a turned-up Real Deal, in his home state of Pennsylvania, Chef Trez isn’t fazed. The ATL vet steady dishing a gang of stinging name flips, gritty punchlines, some fire rebuttals (esp. in round 2), educated metaphors, piercing gun bars and wily personals with steady ease to beat back RD, who outside of a punch-heavy and competitine opening round, had to cut short his second round due to a choke and despite some righteous/hitting bars in the 3rd, just couldn’t match his opponent’s more consistent firepower in the final round.

Recap: From CMC Battle League, in a 3-round battle that begs for plenty of spiffy wordplay what with Kitchen Qleen and Chef Trez facing each other, despite a gritty, competitive and sometimes witty effort from Qleen, the Chef’s richer palette of wily rebuttals (including 4 in round 2), consistently hard-hitting set-up/punchlines, fiery gun bars, piercing name flips and earnest street-themed bars are enough to take all 3 rounds for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Nigga get back, you not taking my health, it’s not a game just real life where you can spend a day up in hell, shotty tucked in the pants leg pull a gauge from the belt, I got 112 for QP, I weighed it myself!”
Recap: In this 3-rounder from Cage Rap Battles, for the most part opponent Savage (that “the clip got a curve, like yeah but you just not my type’ bar in round 3 was crazy) kept it competitive with a bunch of gritty punches, wily personals and solid name flips. But Chef Trez being Chef Trez, was ever ready to cook. And that he did via gang of more consistently spicy gun bars, fierce hometown flips, some greasy rebuttals, searing wordplay and a plethora of stinging set-up/punchlines over the course of 3 rounds to score more haymakers in each and earn the win.

Recap: In this 1-rounder from League of Championship Kulture, Memphis battler Baby James puts on a pretty solid show what with plenty of random violence backed by a gang of fiery gun bars. However, while his confidence can be admired, electing to go first against the likes of Chef Trez would prove to be a serious tactical mistake by Mr. James. Trez utilizing a trio of searing rebuttals to go along with a series of consistently gritty punchlines, boastful barbs, hitting schemes, fire gun bars of his own and piercing name flips to score haymakers and earn the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You can’t beat the Chef, I won’t play with bro, Nintendo DS, I really seen the game unfold!”
Recap: From The Stage, in a competitive 3-rounder frequented by boastful barbs, hard street themes, fiery gun bars and gritty punchlines on both sides, Chef Trez’s more consistently hitting punches and sturdy rebuttals stand out in each round, allowing Trez to take the 1st and 3rd (call the 2nd a debatable) rounds for the win, in light of a pretty solid overall effort from opponent Jaskizzal.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “They say the government shutdown, but I’m upping a pistol, it’s regular life to ne, I been had a government issue!”
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!”
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!”
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

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!”
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!”
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!”
Recap: In this 1-rounder from Settle the Score Battle League, a steady-hitting Chef Trez uses a gang of sizzling gun bars, fiery/versatile name flips, feelgood personals, stunted rebuttals/freestyles and gritty punchlines to score more haymakers and beat back a solid punching and witty at times, but kess consistent effort from opponent Plugg.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You not the same type as me, bastard stop, I seen you rap in Crocks with matching socks, that’s not a Plug, that’s a thot!:
Recap: From Straight Drop Media, clever move by J2 in round 1 of this poor sound quality 3-rounder to tell opponent Chef Trez that if he tried to rebuttal him, it’d make him gay. And while the tactic worked enough to make Trez think about it for a minute or two, eventually the Chef got back to business and unleashed a pair of them things. That, along with a gang of stifling gun bars, mocking personals, solid name flips and hitting street talk would earn Trez an easy win over an opp who while steadily aggressive, couldn’t get out of his own way when it came to way too many pedestrian bars throughout the battle.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You always talking about being an indie artist, but ya death gonna be a major deal!”
Recap: From The Stage, despite an overall solid and pretty (that ‘Twister’ bar in round 3 was crazy) gritty effort from Rashaad Tha God, opponent Chef Trez uses a barrage of boastful barbs, fiery gun bars, mocking personals, stifling personals, tough street talk and wily punches in each round to score more haymakers and earn a 30.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Behind bars I take everything personal like contraband!”
Recap: From Takeova Battle League, Lu Castro combines oft-hilarious bouts of wit, a bunch of piercing name flips and a gang of graphic/wild, strong punches to deliver a trio of dope and competitive rounds here versus Chef Trez. But getting edged to his slightly more haymaker-lit opponent in round 1, in both of the latter rounds the Chef utilizes some fly rebuttals, gritty gun bars, fiery street darts and brash personals/name flips during slightly more condensed turns to edge come back and edge both round 2 and 3 for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “What’s the deal yung’un?, I’m a boss with mine, you a real worker, and you couldn’t put a legend in a box with a Trill burger!”
Recap: From OSBL, Chef Trez and Prep (they previously did a 1v1 on URL and a 2-on-2 on GOTG) meet up for the 3rd time on a battle stage and this one is a goodie. Prep, after a bit of a slow start, kept it entertaining and competitive with a bunch of wily punches, solid name flips, hitting freestyles and lucid personals/schemes. However, apparently choosing to save his strong rebuttal game for the end of his round instead of the start, this one was all Chef. Trez adeptly utilizing a gang of head-ringing gun bars, fire punchlines, killer wordplay, fiery name flips and even some witty personals to score more than enough haymakers and earn the win in this 1-rounder.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “It’s drill week, I’ll really spin in this bitch, catch Dirty Prep outside like an Indian dish!”
Recap: In this 1-rounder from The Boiler Room ATL, Skully G Da Alley Kid delivers a hitting at times, but elongated and mostly pedestrian gun bar and name flip-fest that ironically gave opponent Chef Trez plenty to work with. The ATL vet utilizing a plethora of sizzling (I had like 7 of ’em, including an ‘Ice Spice’ rebut near the end of his round) rebuttals, flashy gun lines, brash punchlines, fiery freestyles and piercing personals during a sublime (i.e. classic) turn that reminded everyone that there’s different levels to this shit.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Don’t try to play me closer, that’s what you get shot for, buck shot, blow the hinges off the entrance…no more locked doors!”
Recap: Funny how leading off in this Bags & Bodies 1-rounder, Kapo Bravado asked Chef Trez not to do any rebuttals. And after listening to Kapo’s raps–a pretty dope combo of hard-hitting street bars, personals and set-up/punchlines–it’s no wonder he thought he could win without the Chef’s inevitable off-the-dome heat. Too bad for Kapo tho as the Chef would use his turn to not only lace his opponent with a gutsy (including a mid-rounder) 3 of them things, but also spout a gang of sturdy gun bars, gritty punches, wicked wordplay and stinging personals to score more than enough haymakers for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “He was never safe, but y’all should’ve told I been with it, fuck short notice, my Prep nice enough to beat 6 nigger’s!”
Recap: From T.O.S Battle League, gritty with the punches, rich with the metaphors/name flips and expansive with the vocab…K Vemon spouted a competitive effort here for 3 rounds against Chef Trez. But never one to underestimate his opponent, after out-punching Venom in round 1 to handily take the opener, the Chef’s continuous display of sturdy gun bars, mocking personals, stifling off-the-dome heat and hard-hitting punchlines in enough to take the deciding (after getting edged in round 2) 3rd round for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Mac 10 load bra, hit his bro up, then give Ven mo [Venmo] bucks, I’m sending money through!”
Recap: A fire URL 3-round “Redemption 4” card battle here between Jerry Wess and Chef Trez, showcases each battler on their A-game. The Chef, on point as usual with a boatload of stealth (“You are not Chef, you better move away before this tool get sprayed, I’ll have a switch for Wess [West] out the blue like the Luka trade!”) gun bars, fiery name flips, clever “How to scam right” tutorials and stinging off-the dome heat. Meanwhile, Mr. Wess would come correct with a gang of hard-hitting punchlines (especially during a spitfire round 2), wily name flips, piercing similes, a couple of fly rebuttals of his own and a crazy NYC scheme. Close throughout, a crazy haymaker of a rebuttal at the end of his round (which up till then was equally punch-lit on both sides) would edge Chef round 1. The 2nd round while competitive, saw Wess performing crazy and consistently punching at such a sublime level (i.e. classic) that even a pretty solid and gritty turn by Trez couldn’t keep up. In the deciding 3rd, despite struggling a bit with his flow, Wess would still deliver a dope, punch-worthy and winnable turn. But never one to slouch, the Chef would come back with some fire rebuttals that coupled with a well-themed, righteously personal and fierce 3rd to force a tie and overall, a debatable battle.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Jerry Wess – “You did a freestyle about me petting a llama, that shit wasn’t true neither, P’ll kidnap your bitch at the same place with the animals let the zoo keep her [zookeeper]!”
Recap: You know Chef Trez might be in some trouble when he barely rebuttals or freestyle’s. Indeed, outside of a seismic, gritty and haymaker-lit round 3 that he handily took, in this Nexus bout from URL, while he was still able to deliver a couple of pretty rounds, Trez’s inability (or choice) to dish any off-the-dome heat ends up costing him here against Arsonal. Da Rebel, while still a bit smitten with subpar here and there, overcoming that with a gang of piercing braggadocious raps, disrespectful personals, able wit, hitting trap talk and filthy name flips/punchlines in both of the opening rounds to out-punch his opponent and earn the win.
Verdict: Arsonal (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Arsonal – “I hold Nina tight at night, that’s a cuddle, show up to ya funeral, open the casket just to tell you I’m still waiting on that rebuttal!”
Recap: From Aftermath Battle League, definitely a Gentlemen’s 30 as a really dope (esp. in round 2) rebuttal game and a bunch of gritty/pretty solid punches from V-Gotti kept the Louisiana battler competitive for 3 rounds. But with the likes of Chef Trez solid isn’t enough as the ATL vet would unleash a gang of sizzling trap talk, fiery gun bars, hard-hitting name flips/metaphors and cold-blooded, mayhem-drenched punchlines to score more haymakers in each round to earn a shutout.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You a damn clown, I’ll put him in the dirt, bow ya head, by the time they look it’s in for Church, 30 rounds, let a semi burst, it look like a whole leg hanging out the ratchet…it’s a mini-skirt!”
Recap: From OSBL, a pretty good 1-rounder between Chef Trez and Swervoo features plenty of fiery gun bars from both battlers as well as a boatload of gritty punches, gratuitous flexing and hitting name flips. Definitely a close one, but after (for him, anyway) a bit of a slow start, it’s the slightly more punch-heavy and haymaker-lit Trez who edges it in the end.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “They don’t see no ‘g’ in him, I feel like I’m getting my license when I’m gripping heat killer, you know how they give you a number before you get to meet with ’em?, it’s the same here, because you’ll see A40 [a .40] flash on a DMV nigga!”
Recap: From Reel Spit Battle League, Chef Trez graces the stage of yet another independent battle league and comes away with another 30. The ATL vet using a boatload of gritty 4-bar set-up/punchlines, fiery gun bars, solid name flips/personals and potent off-the-dome theatrics to drop the hammer on what was (esp. in the latter two rounds) was a pretty solid and punch-heavy effort from opponent Hero.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Look fam, you never hit the corner with enough work to serve plates till tomorrow, hitting the block so much that you ain’t no more pages to follow!”
Recap: From The Ilustration, battling almost every other day it seems like nowadays, a prolific Chef Trez stil manages to put forth a top-notch effort. Once again using some fiery gun bars, hard-hitting/witty personasl and a bunch of gritty punchlines to take the first two rounds for the win here against a less haymaker-lit overall, but pretty solid (his bet round in the 3rd got hin the edge there), fkexing at times with both the personals and punches EA Zay.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Ever see an angry bitch tweet?, it’s a sub-machine!”
Recap: Damn, thought that the often punch-lit Quis had a chance there. But once showing that there’s levels to this, Chef Trez’s (on one day’s notice nonetheless) steady barrage of glistening gun bars, scorching set-up/punchlines, stinging wordplay, bullish darts and flippant personals/name flips prove to be too much in this competitive 1-rounder from No Entourage.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I told my hitman it was a 5-10 nigga with a nerd posture, but he gonna put you 6 feet by 7, 6 2 like the Spurs roster!”
Recap: In this 1-rounder from Full Effect Battle League, Chef Trez uses a gang of hard braggadocious raps, some mean 4-bar set-up/punchlines, a couple of brash freestyles and stinging gun bars to beat back a street-themed, aggressive and pretty solid, but not nearly as steadily potent Vino Collins.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “But I had all kind of clientele, I’m a real hustler, I even served the Asian’s dog food, I’m a myth buster!”
Recap: Chef Trez might disagree, but members of the crowd screaming ‘1-1’ after two rounds of this dope KOTD, 3-round matchup between Trez and Xcel, had it correct. As the slightly more efficient and haymaker-lit Trez edged round 1, before (despite some solid freestyles/rebuttals that took place during a jaunty turn from the Chef) the ever wordplay/punch and name flip-heavy Xcel returned the favor in round 2 to split things up going into the 3rd. And that’s where Trez really turned it up, got versatile and had a classic, utilizing some more salacious personals/gun bars, fierce off-the-dome heat, fire set-up/punchlines and graphic/mayhem-lit darts/name flips to take the 3rd for the win in light of another competitive and gritty turn by his opponent.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “But you still act like a bitch do, the boy hating, act wrong the toy blazing, I’m for sure waving, the handle wood, but the slide chrome, it got a nickleback, peep the formation!”
Recap: We gonna keep it consistent here. As for the umpteenth time: a choke is when you totally forget your bars and thus have to end your round. Secondly, a slip-up (which should still be penalized) is when you forget and/or mangle your bars during a round, but are still able to get it back and finish your turn. So miss me with Tay Roc telling the world (and his opponent Chef Trez) that he lost this 3-round URL Bars over Politics 3-rounder because he “choked” during round 3, when instead he slipped up midway and got it back to deliver what was still a pretty solid round. And while Roc did get edged in the 3rd, thanks in part to Trez having a cleaner and slightly more efficient run at it, that doesn’t take away from what happened in both of the earlier rounds. The more versatile Roc beating back a pretty dope, but gun bar-heavy and slightly less haymaker-lit Trez (who despite being complimented by Roc on his freestyle/rebuttal ability, ironically didn’t do much of it here) with some superb wordplay, 4-bar/hard-hitting back-to-back punchlines, plenty of graphic violence, steely gun bars, fire name flips, jaunty personals/storytelling bars and fiery gun lines of his own to earn the win.
Verdict: Tay Roc (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Tay Roc – “Gun butt, scarred jaw, broke his wisdon, pull put a stick, up the nose for Covid symptoms!”
Recap: From Only The Real Battle League, although some extra rapping occurs afterwards, we’re only recapping the seemingly agreed 1-round here. That said, a pretty solid effort from up-n-coming battler Joe Cartega here, who with a shitload of fiery street rhymes and piercing name flips made it competitive. But a Chef Trez armed to the tilt with 5 of them things to start things out, plus a bunch of sturdy gun bars and wicked/mayhem-laced punches during a more condensed and efficient turn, allows the Chef to chalk up another vic.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I’ll be the reason there’s brain fragments everywhere, the Chef is wicked, I’ll put his IQ on the wall…I’m trying to test his vision!”
Recap: From Body Bag Battle League, a warning to all viewers: one could get hot just watching this battle–that’s how much sweat seemed to be piling up in the room. Nonetheless, a pretty solid, gritty and punch-lit at times effort by One Take McGuyver gets beat back by a Chef Trez on one with a boatload of fiery gun bars, piercing personals/punchlines, hard-hitting/mayhem-lit street bars, dizzying gang talk and sizzling rebuttals/freestyles in a 1-rounder that should’ve came with some air conditioning.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You not legit, I was at them dice games where that bread at, I seen Unc serve crackheads and turn around and yell ‘Head crack’!”
Recap: As expected, a dope 3-rounder from URL’s Nexus card between Ave and Chef Trez. The latter keeping it close with a gang of fiery gun bars, wily personals, a handful of salacious freestyles/rebuttals and wicked punchlines. While Ave dished out a plethora of exquisite punchlines, a variety of fire name flips/metaphors and boastful/mayhem-lit barbs. A 3-rounder made more appealing by the fact they’re both ex members of Tay Roc’s Cave Gang, it’s slightly more punch-heavy and haymaker-lit Ave who takes the opening round before also edging round 2 for the win via a more condensed turn that was also well lit with bodacious punches. Despite another close round thanks to yet another dope turn by Ave, the slightly more efficient with the punches Trez would edge round 3 to avoid the shutout.
Verdict: Ave (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Ave – “Let him step, I’ll go to the belt where the .9 is stashed, 10 shots, give him 8 then bail…it’s a dine and dash!”
Recap: From One Shot Battle League, Chef Trez and Coach Corleone go at it for 3 rounds and it’s pretty much a one-sided affair. As despite an aggessive, gritty and overall solid effort from the Coach, one too many pedestrian bars from the Chicago battler and a Chef Trez delivering a consistent barrage of sturdy gun bars, fly name flips/metaphors, hitting personals and potent punchlines earns the latter the 30.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Those punches good now, but it’s nothing we quote later, you never gonna be a star, the best coaches was just role players!”
Recap: T-Top and Chef Trez both give the Bullpen Battle League crowd their money’s worth in this fiery, competitive 3-rounder that stayed close throughout. And while the battle featured what you’d expect when it comes to Trez’s off-the-dome theatrics and Top’s greasy angles, it’s the Bear’s slightly more efficient use of crispy punchlines, boastful barbs and ridiculous name flips that edged him the victory. The more versatile Top taking the first round with a boatload of well-structured set-up/punchlines to set a strong tone early on. However, Trez would fight back hard in the second, showcasing his freestyle prowess and earning the round (over a solid, scheme-heavy turn by Top) with a bunch of impressive street darts and witty personals. Going into the 3rd round tied, T-Top would seal the win with a powerful closer, blending fire schemes, gritty trap talk and crowd control to tip the scales in his favor while also being assisted by a suprisingly righteous (tho Trez did turn it up and score more frequently in the latter half of his round) turn from his opponent.
Verdict: T-Top (W) 2-1
Favorite line: T-Top – “You my brother chef, so I don’t wanna let the beef continue, but you been asking for it like a secret menu!”
Recap: In this 1-rounder from The Stage in ATL, Chef Trez uses a handful of spicy rebuttals, a gang of piercing gun bars, cutthroat mayhem, stinging race angles and witty/mocking personals to handily beat back a round rife with personals and some hitting punches, but mostly pedestrian effort from Dylan.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I enter his ttown on a Sunday with a pistol clutched, walk in his church and hit Dylan [points hands like gun at opoonent’s head] roof, I’m trying to do to him what he did to us!”
Recap: From Gates of the Garden, credit to Wise for making the Chef work hard for this one. Trez using a barrage of fierce gun bars, slick rebuttals, fire name flips and hard-hitting schemes/punchlnes to edge rounds 1 and 2 in this 3-rounder for the win before Wise, who was competitive, gritty and punch & scheme-lit throughout the battle, handily took the 3rd.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “His grave like the vein of a heroin user, the boy in it!”
Recap: It came down to way too many jabs from the Chef. In this 3-rounder from the New Udubb, as extremely hard-hitting, aggressive and street-themed as Monsta could be, too many dry spots from the Southern battler and a Chef Trez consistently hitting on all cylinders when it came to potent gun lines, spicy rebuttals/freestyles, greasy name flips and wicked punches gives the ATL vet a sturdy 30.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Potato in front of this shrimp, he in hot water, we making gumbo!”
Recap: From Universal Bars Battle League, against a solid effort from Da Example that was littered in persuasive drug talk and other violence-induced punches, Chef Trez flips out with a gang of gritty gun bars, flexing double entendres, some sporty off-the-dome heat and a boatload of piercing punchlines to handliy get the 30.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Let him try it, drive-by, hop out with hella choppers, in front of his house with a stick, it’s a pressure washer!”
Recap: From Dark Horse Battle League, outside of needing to be more clear with his vocals, newcomer (according to VerseTracker anyway) Midas delivers a pretty solid and gritty effort here in this 3-rounder against fellow ATL-ien Chef Trez. But nonwithstanding a debatable round 2, it’s all Trez here as the veteran and highly prolific battler responds to his opponent’s fiending street bars with a boatload of fiery gun bars, piercing off-the-dome heat, graphic/mayhem-lit darts and potent punchlines to handily take rounds 1 and 3 for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “This ratchet killing every possibility, it got its tubed tied!”
Recap: From URL’s Smack Vol. 11 card, after edging round 1 here vs. Chef Trez with a couple of spicy mid-round rebuttals, a heavily scheming, metaphor flipping Charlie Clips goes back to ‘Which Clips will show up?’ mode, resorts to way too many freestyles and after getting beaten badly in round 2 to the way more haymaket-lit Trez, delivers a mostly pedestrian/off-the dome/oft-indirect turn in the deciding 3rd, helping the consistently punch-lit, rebuttal-spazzing, gun bar flashing and personal/scheme/name flip-fiending Trez get the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “What’s the reason?, nuthin’ you say legit, we all go scrolling down that rabbit hole when it’s late as shit, but nobody can out-do how you be playing Clips!”
Recap: If he can stay consistent with the heat, this kid Los Premee has a very bright future ahead of him in battle rap. The iBattle up-n-comer, here against an always competitive, rebuttal-lit and oft-punch heavy/potent gun bar slinging Chef Trez, impressing again with 3 rounds of spitfire lines. Whether he was fiercely flipping the Chef’s slogan against him, spouting a gang of crazy anime bars/similes, going toe-to-toe with Trez when it came to spicy rebuttals, flexing with a bunch of hard-hitting street darts or dishing gritty haymakers via a sublime punch game with rapid and relative ease, Los Premee seems to be putting even to top tiers on notice. That said, after a debatable round 1, it’s the more prolific scoring Premee who takes rounds 2 and 3 for the win.
Verdict: Los Premee (W) 2-1

Recap: From Body Bag Battle League, showcasing some incredible wordplay throughout to go along with a boatload of fiery gun bars, sporty rebuttals of his own, stinging name flips and a gang of crazy 4-bar set/punchlines, after handily out-punching opponent Chef Trez in round 1, a more versatile and slightly punch-heavier Yunus survives a dope round 2 from his veteran opp to edge the middle round for the win. However it’s Trez, still competitive while serving up a rich palette of fierce off-the-dome heat, sturdy gun bars and gritty punches throughout the bout, who takes the 3rd with a bit of help of a more indirect and struggle bar prone Yunus, to avoid the shutout.
Verdict: Yunus (W) 2-1

Recap: Damn, Chef Trez and Fonz battled each other so long ago, it’s easy to forget that they met up already. Either way, this rematch from URL’s “Redemption 3” card, while certainly a goodie, moreso established how much Fonz has evolved over the years to become one of the best punchers in the game. The Landlord wasting no time with his elite punch game while going at his opponent with a rapid stream of filthy similes, stinging name flips, bullish boasts, hard-hitting personals and fiery linguistic darts that after a debatable round 1, proved to be more efficient during the latter two rounds for the win. That said, despite Chef Trez delivering his usual strong performance, it was surprising that after the opening round, he didn’t utilize more (after dishing ‘3 of those things’ in the opener) rebuttals in the battle, which along with being elongated in rounds 2 and 3, might have contributed to his defeat. Nonetheless, by showcasing his usual m.o. of impressive gun bars and fire punchlines, Trez made it clear that even in a loss, he’s still worth the price of admission.
Verdict: Fonz (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Fonz – “Trez you can’t fuck with me, I’m only trying to reason with’cha, ‘cuz like a torn ACL, you facing a seasoned killer!”

The South Carolina vet competing hard with a plethora of ill breakdowns, eccentric wordplay and gutsy punches/name flips, but unable to overcome his opponent’s more formidable rounds until his best turn in the 3rd, which he edged to avoid the shutout.

Indeed, Trez with his boatload of fierce gun bars, serene rebuttals and fiery punchlines/name flips as he always does, came to compete. While Swamp on his A-game with zero unforced errors throughout, brought it back to his classic Your Honor battle, what with the lofty levels of trap talk, stirring/action-packed gun lines, witty ersonals and fire similes/punches that he unleashed here.
