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 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
Favorite line: Los Premee – “I was just gonna rob him, then he tried to run so I dumped the ‘matic instead, dropped him instantly, it’s schizophrenia, I got 3 of them things in the back of the head!”
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
Favorite line: Yunus – “You don’t get that tho?, this is Tic Tac Toe, I’m trying to X out 3 of them thangs!”
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!”
Recap: In this exclusive URL App 3-rounder, Chef Trez utilizes a gang of banging off-the-dome heat, flippant personals, gritty name flips, fire set-up/punchlines and sturdy gun bars to take the first couple of rounds for the win over a pretty solid-as-usual Kid Chaos. 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.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Mr. Language Arts I quit school, but I know every story got a body in it!”
Recap: From Family Battle League, against the bullish/street-themed overtones of a solid, but mostly pedestrian Jayrone, via a nice healthy mix of gritty gun bars, wicked name flips/personals, stinging punchlines and of course, some off-the-dome heat to plant his mark, Chef Trez gets another handy win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Nigga’s trying, but I don’t be around haters, and I don’t owe this nigga 3 of dem things, it’s Family Battle League, we don’t count favors!”
Recap: From OSBL, some hard street rhymes and rapid punches from Wordplay The Menace makes for a solid effort. But nothing of sorts from WTM is able to overcome a steady stream of fiery off-the-dome heat, sturdy gun bars and gritty punchlines from Chef Trez in this mostly one-sided 1-rounder.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “All these shots I gave, I’m not the one to call if you seeking sobriety!”
Recap: In this 1-rounder from Black Elite Battle League, a gritty and solid effort from Chadoe Cerious gets overmatched by way more haymaker-lit Chef Trez, who used a fiery barrage of graphic mayhem, steely gun bars, sturdy name flips, fire wordplay and sublime set-up/punchlines on his way to an easy win.

But armed with a couple of spicy rebuttals to go along with a bunch of sturdy gun bars, stinging 4-bar set-up/punchlines and some well-positioned personal bangers of his own, this one ends up with Chef Trez as the vic.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You a goof, always bitching, crying, reaching for hope, complaining, shaming when you speaking on Facebook, people wanna reach for ya throat, Deandre Ayton type nigga’s, you gotta son them when they weak on the post!”
Recap: From The Stage, crazy and fire effort from Tre Boogie, who with a shitload of gritty 4-bar set-up/punchlines made things close. But unexplicably choosing to go first in a 1-rounder against the rebuttal king in Chef Trez and then having to face a rigid gang of off-the-dome heat in addition to a plethrora of fire gun bars and name flips, proves to be Boogie’s downfall while allowing Trez to edge this one for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “My gun is part of my wingspan and it’s always at arm’s reach!”
Recap: From The Battle Academy, rarely do you witness an opponent with enough guts to encourage Chef Trez to rebuttal against him. But credit to Shankk Prezzy, who not only went there, but with some dope ‘pre-rebuttals’, a bunch of witty barbs/personals, gritty punchlines and a knack for piercing wordplay, kept things competitive and even took the opening round in this 3-rounder. But with Trez being Trez, you just knew he’d meet the off-the-dome freestyle/rebuttal challenge and then some, including a plethora of stinging name flips, wily gun bars and fiery/more direct punches of his own to come back, edge both the 2nd and 3rd round’s and earn the win.

But despite a solid performance from his opponent, a suited-up Chef Trez armed to the teeth with a shitload of spicy personals, flexing gun bars, spitfire rebuttals and gritty punchlines proves to be way too much in the end on his way to a well-earned 30.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You wanted a shot?, well it’s gonna be an ugly one…Ben Simmons!”
Recap: As much positive work that these two have put in over the years, Swamp versus Chef Trez definiteluy deserved to be on the big stage at Summer Madness 13. But instead this much-anticipated matchup appears on Banned and guess what? Not only is it still a doozy, but the darkened, cozy setting here actually enhances both the battle and the bars. 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. And that ended up being the difference, with the slightly more steady and haymaker-lit Swamptown capo edging rounds 1 and 2 for the win, before a just as combative Trez and his trio of thangs edged the 3rd.
Verdict: Swamp (W) 2-1

Recap: A 1-rounder from The Stage in ATL sees Duffy Boy Zilla fiercely compete with an aggressive barrage of mayhem-drenched punches and salacious gun bars. But even with his opponent making him earn it, it’s just another day at the office for Chef Trez, who uses a handful of spicy rebuttals/freestyles, gangly 4-bar set-up/punchlines and otherwordly gun bars/name flips to gain the win.

Verdict: Clone (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Clone – “This ain’t me in the flesh, just the spirit against you, you said ‘making Clone like a scientist’…I came to experiment with you!”
Recap: From Bar Wars Rap Battles, noted KOTD punch feen Shotti P delivers a wicked/witty religious/Muslim angle to take round 2 of this 3-rounder. But outside of that it’s too much Chef Trez here as the ATL vet uses a boatload of ill gun bars, gritty punchlines, mocking personals, flexing trap talk and hitting rebuttals/freestyles to handily take rounds 1 and 3 for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “.38 caught a case behind Shotti…like 6ix9ine!”
Recap: From Purebars RBL, some slick wordplay and a bunch of heavy heat from 6IX Shotz keeps things competitive throughout this 3-rounder. But steadily armed with a gang of stifling gun bars, sturdy rebuttals, fierce name flips and fiery punchlines, it’s Chef Trez all day for the 30.

Verdict: Jakkboy Maine (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Jakkboy Maine – “Them Christmas carols end with a scream, so my past, present and future Chef seen all 3 of them thangs!”
Recap: Who doesn’t love a dope style clash? And this 3-rounder from We Go Hard was ceratinly that as Chef Trez with ominous barrel of piercing gun bars, sublime off-the-dome heat and gritty punchlines faces off against the aggressive, personal-lit, witty and entertaining polemics of Gunpowder Patt. A close one throughout, despite a pretty solid and hard-hitting opening round from Trez (that was spoiled a lit bit due to Chef taking a bit too long to land the punch), Patt’s colorful angles, humorous stylings and clever/steely punchlines edges Gunpowder the round. And then the Chef got to cooking. Landing a boatload of fly name flips and a handful of fierce rebuttals to go along with a gang of raucous punches/gun bars, Trez would do just enough to edge round 2 over an opponent who cane with it when it it came ill braggadocius lines, more crazy wit and fiery street anthems. Tied going into the 3rd in front of a rocking WGH crowd, even while dialing back a bit on the rebuts, Trez would still score at will via a rich palette of robust punchlines, some hitting personals and well-finessed wordplay to take the 3rd and get the win over a G.P. who while still compettiive, just seemed to run out of steam when it came to landing as many haymakers as he did in the previous rounds.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Catch steel from Chef, you know what’ll happen at point blank if I squeeze bitch?, I’ll get blood on my gun, marinera falling off a chopper…it’s a cheese stick!”
Recap: Chef Trez versus Showoff. Security guard verssus security guard. ARP interrupting battles as usual…it’s all there for 3 rounds on RBE and it was a dope one. Showoff, aggressive, boastful and gritty as usual with his trademark ‘lingo’, delivered a standout performance with a gang of bodaciosu street raps, some sizzling wordplay, a couple of fire rebuttals, some straight ‘talking to’ personals (esp. in round 3) and a boatload of steely punches. While Trez, battling on RBE for the first time in awhile, came through with a shitload of fire punchlines, crazy name flips, hard-hitting personals, spicy schemes and of course, a handful of head-ringimg rebuttals. All in all, another ‘Blue room’ goodie, but at the end of the day it’s the more consistently-lit and haymaker-friendly Trez who manages to take all 3 rounds to score a shutout.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Quit bluffing, nigga all that tough seem fake, with that same blade I’ll pick ya side, we running screenplays!”
Recap: From URL’s ‘Outside 2’ card, a fire 3-rounder between Nu Jerzey Twork and Chef Trez features the latter utilizing a gang of rambunctious set-up/punchlines, stifling gun bars, witty/hard-hitting personals and righteous mayhem to make his mark. While the always-on-point Chef offered up a sizzling plate mixed with a boatload of piercing rebuttals, gritty (“Put a ratchet behind Twork, y’all know bitches like to dance with each other!”) punches, head-ringing gunplay and flexing name flips/wordplay to stay in the game. Close all the way though, a slightly more cohesive and less flow-challenged Trez would edge round 1 before an equally efficient punchfest from both sides would add up to a debatable 2nd round. The final 3rd round in a battle that never lacked for entertainment and crazy bars, would get edged by the slightly more haymaker-lit Twork thus making this one a debatable.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “You is a weirdo and a fucking fraud, wasn’t you just over there with RBE doing a bunch of cards?, he seen URL on Caffiene with celebrities & he said ‘What’s up with y’all?!‘”
Recap: From URL’s ‘Redemption’ card, former Bullpen Battle Leageu star Chef Trez faces off with BBL owner John John Da Don and as expected it’s a highly personal one that also featured a shitload of dope punches from both battlers. Add to the mix plenty of righteous pontificating and rigid name flips from JJDD and of course, a handful of spicy rebuttals and hitting gun bars from Trez and this matchup stayed competitive throughout. However, while the curious battle fan certainly got their fix what with all the accusations John John and Trez hurled at each other on why their business relationship frayed, as for the battle itself outside of a debatable 2nd round, it’s a more steady punching and slightly haymaker-landing Trez who takes the 1st and 3rd rounds for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “…but y’all know Muslims wake up before sunrise and thank God, so why wouldn’t I use the Don as prey [pray]!”
Recap: SMH. Doesn’t matter how confident you are in your skills, choosing to go 1st against argubaly the best rebuttler in the game never makes sense. But the Chef taught him tho, delivering yet another lit recipe of stinging punchlines and a trio of nasty rebuttals during a killer round 1, before comimg back with a steaming plate of piercing off-the-dome heat, sizzling gun bars, seismic name flips and hard-hitting punches to handily take the next two rounds and score the 30 over a passionate and hitting at times, but mostly pedestrian Tom Nixon in this 3-rounder from Takeova Battle Leageu.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You all the way bitch, not just kind of scary, Nixon [Nick son] same out pussy…Mariah Carey!”
Recap: From Major League Battles, a gritty, condensed and punch-heavy round 1 by Philly-to-Florida battler Ghost is efficient enough to make for a tie with a just as potent Chef Trez. But afterwards it’s all Trez as the ATL vet uses a steady barrage of lofty gun bars, fiending name flips, steely punchlines and well-versed freestyles/rebuttals to handily take both of the latter rounds over a solid, but not as formidable effort from his opponent and gain the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Don’t start bor, ‘cuz once the Tek pop, we disrespect blocks, i just can’t stop sliding y’all…I’m in fresh socks!”
Recap: A fire 3-rounder (with Billy Boondocks literally switching sides and providing extra entertainment throughout the battle in case the fierce back-n-forth betwen the rappers wasn’t enough for ya) from CRS Battle League between Chef Trez and longtime vet/underrated punchsmith Shi Dog goes the distance with Trez impressing throughout with a boatload of gritty gun bars, dope rebuttals (including ‘4 of them things’ in round 1, which he egded), massive name flips and some hitting personals/punchlines. While the unorthodox wordplay, galiant schemes, rigid streams and flexing set-ups/punches/rebuts/name flips of Shi Dog stood tall as well. A close bout throughout with the two battlers splitting the first couple of rounds, it’s the slightly more haymaker-lit and versatile Trez who ends up taking the 3rd for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You named yourself Shi Dog, that explains right out the gate why you never had barf!”
Recap: The final score doesn’t dictate it, but for the most part a strong showing here from Nunn Nunn in this URL ‘Civil War 3’ match against Chef Trez. The North Carolina vet using slick humor, a gang of gritty punchlines, some solid rebuttals and some hitting personals to stay competitive. But as it turns out Trez was just too much here. The Chef cooking up a hot plate of fire gun bar, stinging freestyles/rebuttals (including 3 of them things in round 1 to edge the opener), crazy set-up/punchlines, brash storytelling, piercing ‘Nunn Nunn/Hunger Games’ name flips and robust wordplay/similes to score a Gentleman’s 30.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I even got young’un’s to shoot for me so it’d be sort of cool, cuz the little nigga’s under Chef carry more than Jordan Poole!”
Recap: Never seen the Chef get violent before. But in this last-minute (both of their original opponents no-showed) 1-rounder from DHBL, outside of a couple of unsportsmanlike penalties, a pretty hyped Trez gathers himself enough to spout a slew of hard-hitting personals, some sick rebuttals, stinging punchlines and a gang of potent freestyles to beat back the aggressive and sometimes hitting stylings of an Afro Kenobi who clearly lacked the off-the-dome ability of Trez and basically used the same rhymes he had for his original opp.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Who you teaching?, you dress like a substitute!”
Recap: In this 1-rounder from DHBL, Chef Trez uses a consistent diet of fiery gun bars, lethal 4-bar set-ups and gritty punchlines/wordplay to handily beat back an earnest and hitting at times, but most;y subpar with the punches Megladon.

Recap: One-rounder from Body Bag Battle League sees South Carolina emcee C Dot pull up with a strong showing that was littered with a bunch of fierce 4-bar set-up/punchlines, spicy personals and gritty name flips. However, coming off the long overdue announcement that he’s finally returning to URL, Chef Trez puts the celebration aside and with a gang of filthy gun bars, a fistful of off-the-dome bangers, potent name flips of his own and a slightly more steady fleet of mayhem-rich punches, it’s the more haymaker-lit Trez for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Aim then squeeze next, it’s on-sight and me putting Dot on the gun is just a reflex!”
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.

Who with a quartet of hitting rebuttals, piercing gun bars, well-armed name flips and plenty of stinging punches of his own, does just enough to earn a draw.
Verdict: TIE

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Your punches like putting your grandparents on your job application…a bunch of old references!”
Recap: Choosing to go first against a rebuttal/freestyle elite like Chef Trez seems to be putting yourself at a disadvantage. But having seen the brash wizardry of Skinny Man Bang against Swamp in the past, one can’t be too surprised. And with a boatload of aggressive punches, gritty wordplay and flexing gun bars, just as ge did versus Swamp, SMB kept it competitive (even edging round 2 here). However, even on a day that saw him surprisingly fail to recollect his bars midway through the 3rd round, Trez being Trez never loses control while sizing up the room to immediately switch to freestyle mode and with a gang of steely off-the-dome heat takes the deciding final round (after edging the 1st) for the win.

Recap: Some hard bars, witty lines and plenty of aggression from That Nigga Rob, but in this 3-rounder from Battle Coliseum, it’s Chef Trez’s consistent barrage of piercing gun bars, mayhem-lit punches and stirred-up rebuttals that ends giving the Chef a 30.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “What’s sad is, i’m just having fun this battle while I’m murking you, like Shaq is rapping, I make Magic happen, this gonna be a thirty too [32]!”
Recap: In this 1-rounder from The Riot, while Rio Nkosi’s OG stylings and righteous punches got better during the second half of his round, altogether the ATL battler’s gritty raps still didn’t maintain near enough heat to keep up with Chef Trez’s more consistently piercing punchlines, hitting personals and stifling wordplay/set-ups.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I never been the Safari type, that’s why I’m so quick to load my Chrome!”
Recap: A bit of an oldie from Street Status, but a 3-rounder between MVP and Chef Trez that was still a goodie as the former’s plethora of gritty punches and rich similes kept things close and even had him edging the opening round. However, with an always prepared Trez rocking the crowd and his opponent with a consistent barrage of piercing name flips, spicy rebuttals, fiery gun bars, sizzling punchlines and to top things off, a crazy freestyle coming off a mid-round fight that broke out in the crowd in round 3, it’s the Chef who delivers more than enough treats to take rounds 2 and 3 for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I’m dumping shots, but I’ll put the gun down ‘cuz I could fucking box, weave game better than a bitch that club a lot!”
Recap: Never count out J. Murda, who in this matchup from RBE against an always off-the-dome ready, punch/gun bar-lit and gritty Chef Trez comes back after getting beat in round 1 with a couple of condensed, punch-heavy (“I’m in the cirb with two ratchets, it’s polygamy!”), wordplay spicy and raucous rounds to edge round 2, before using a couple of fire rebuttals in the 3rd to help him to a debatable final round and make this one a draw.
Verdict: Draw
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I’m more than great, but check this shit, I’ll test this bitch, start disrespecting him, like you Puerto-Rican?…I’ll call you Mexican!”
Recap: From Verbal War Zone, a pretty straightforward verdict here that might’ve been helped by the one the best off-the-dome battlers in the game, Chef Trez, possibly finding himself unable to rebuttal due to his having to rap over beats. Who knows. Either way, a gritty affair on both sides that saw Trez easily out-punch opponent Da Bull Boog in round 1 before Boog handily returned the favor in both of the latter rounds for the win.
Verdict: Da Bull Boog (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Da Bull Boog – “Nigga left me unseen, almost unfollowed him, hit me with the silent treatment, hit him with a silencer!”
Recap: From IBattle, pretty solid, gritty and at times personal-lit effort by Lavelle The Artist still gets edged in all 3 rounds by an off-the-dome spicy, gun bar-heavy and more consistently punch/wordplay spazzing Chef Trez who frankly speaking needs to get some big name plates this year.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I got hella choppers, a hundred different stocks like Nasdaq!”
Recap: From ThirtyTwo Barz, Chef Trez, seemingly battling like every other day now, uses a gang of piercing rebuttals, fiery gun bars and stinging set-ups/punchlines to put more than enough points on the scoreboard to beat back a solid, aggressive and gritty effort from Juvelliii Tha King.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Home owner, there’s nothing but space inside, his body separated, a piece will be over there like a deep dish…I’ll have your features in more places like a remix!”
Recap: In this competitive 3-rounder from The Riot, F.A.T.E.’s hedonistic raps and slinging wordplay work well together to edge him round 2. But a Chef Trez enriched with an astute combo of stinging off-the-dome heat, rigid build-ups for the punches and piercing gun bars/name flips proves to be a little too much to handle in rounds 1 and 3, thus earning the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Who the fuck wanted to see F.A.T.E. battle me?, fuck F.A.T.E., I’ll push his brains through his face…it’s a FATality!”
Recap: Don Vido’s gritty gun bars make for plenty of violence as well as a competitive showing. But in this visual 1-rounder from the Word Sport Battle Group, Chef Trez’s frequent dishes of mayhem, off-the-dome heat, sizzling 4-bar set-ups and prolific gun bars are more than enough to score the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – If I see dun I squeeze guns and pop a K near him, he’ll get sent to God around Christmas time…he had a holiday spirit!”
Recap: Whether it’s superb written’s, rebuttals or freestyle’s, as he does again here in this Deathwish Battle League battle against Crash, Chef Trez can make it all look so easy. This time Trez using a variety of steely punchlines, stinging name flips, flashy gun bars and a boatload of nasty off-the-dome heat (esp. in the latter freestyle rounds) to handily (Chef took the first 5 rounds while the 6th was debatable) beat back a gritty throughout and solid punching, but unforced error prone and not nearly as freestyle-lit Crash.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 5-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I never turned down any pressure, nigga’s know I’m extra, I’m like the homie that never got weed…I’m willing to smoke whatever!”
Recap: Admittedly, not the best visuals in this 1-rounder from IronKlad Battle League. Butthat’s negated by a competive show as Black Gemini and Chef Trez spill a bunch of graphic mayhem/punchlines and gritty gun bars onto the scene with the more versatile and spicy name flipping Trez taking the win at the end.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I know it’s hard to think outside the box when there’s a casket!”
Recap: 3-rounder from Takeova Battle League finds a versatile JDY spouting a nice effort with plenty of gritty punches and some solid wordplay. However, when he wasn’t supplying a bunch of off-the-dome tutorials to show you how it’s really done, Chef Trez’s spicy mix of fiery gun lines, scheming punchlines and head-shaking set-ups/name flips are more than enough to earn the 3-0.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Y’all gave a lame to me, this ain’t even something y’all could explain to me, only JD that put in work in Atlanta was Jermaine DuPri!”
Recap: The irony of Zay Smoove talking up Chef Trez’s rebuttal game so much in round 1 and Trez only utilizing one or two the entire battle shouldn’t be lost here. As in this 3-rounder from GOTG, Trez puts aside the off-the-dome zingers and instead dishes a steady barrage of fiery gun bars, festive name flips, graphic mayhem and rich set-ups/punchlines to, despite a solid showing from his sometimes longwinded opponent, earn the 30.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “They thought I was only a shooter when I had the dreds, but I’m cut for whatever [takes off hoody] you see I’m still willing to fade with you!”
Recap: Debatable 3rd round, but in this remote, Covid 3-rounder from The Word Sport Battle Groundz, a solid punching Novate proves to be no match for the fiery schemes, street rhymes and fierce punchlines/gun bars from Chef Trez in both of the opening rounds.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I don’t just rap, I [extends hand out like gun] draw and paint everything…I’m a real artist!”
Recap: From SYS Battle League, for three rounds a turned-up Chef Trez uses a steady barrage of off-the-dome wizardry, fiery gun bars, roundhouse punchlines/name flips, some gripping trap talk and fleeting braggadocios bangers to handily beat back a witty/punch-heavy at times and storytelling-friendly, but overall pedestrian Boss Jay.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Real shooter, caught him by surprise like the Melo trey!”
Recap: From IBattle, with only two days prep still a dope and competitive showing here between Drugz and Chef Trez. The two splitting the first two rounds (had the slightly more versatile punching Drugz edging the opening round before a mil-centric and gun bar lit Chef took the 2nd) and then a fiery and raucous 3rd by both battlers gets edged by the rebuttal savvy and set-up/brazenly punch-lit Trez for the win.
Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Drugz you don’t hold weight for real, I can tell, I’m on a different scale!”
