Brooklyn Carter defeats Illanoiz

by

Recap: Loud, bar-heavy, heat-ready, name-flip savvy, close and gritty PG battle between the rarely seen, but always on point (“I will shoot you in front of your son, you can crawl with him”) Illanoiz and lyrical barsmith (“City gave me my own platform to build a brand, that’s why I’m called Brooklyn!”) Brooklyn Carter comes down to the 2nd round, which a more condensed and consistent B.C. edges after also taking the 1st. An aggressive and pretty solid battle overall, even with B.C. getting the win early, peep a versatile and fire 3rd round from Illanoiz that’s riddled with haymakers.

Verdict: Brooklyn Carter (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Brooklyn Carter – “This battle like Jazz walking away, it’s a flat body, but it’s still cool to look at!”

Illanoiz defeats D Gunna

by

Recap: Illaniz: “You gonna lose due to lack of performance and preparation”. Who knew Illanoiz was in the prophecy business? That being said, despite spitting what turned out to be a (“So if daddy brush here [hair], then I’m banging it on him, you see the Pops hit his waves like Adrian Broner”) decent first round, D Gunna does the inexplicable…choking during his round two and proceeding to quit right afterwards in an all-important Proving Grounds matchup. So it’s an easy bodybag for Illanoiz, who displayed enough versatility, a too-ill board game scheme and crazy (“Seen the laptop and some money, I took his mac-n-cheese [Mac and cheese] and I’m coming back if your chain make my collar green”) wordplay during his two rounds, that he probably would’ve won the battle anyway–too bad that Gunna’s complete meltdown didn’t allow us to find out.

Verdict: Illanoiz (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Illanoiz – “That shotty will pilate your body, better be flexible”

Illanoiz defeats Piranha

by

Recap: Detroit’s Piranha (I have no idea what was up with all the nose scratching, but it sure was distracting) had some occasional hot bars, but it wasn’t nearly enough to keep up with Illanoiz’s wicked punchlines, schemes and name allegories in this PG battle from URL.

Verdict: Illanoiz (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Illanoiz – “Act bananas and get your apple cracked, ‘cuz some niggas don’t learn till you put one under their cap, that’s a Snapple fact”
