K.O (Brooklyn)

Gwitty defeats K.O.

by

Recap: After edging the first round here against K.O. with overall more potent (“I’m cooking raw, well done, cans rung, stupid bullets out of nowhere…he ran dumb [random]!”) bars, Gwitty’s unorthodox flow and shout-rap style reaches overwhelming heights in a stellar round two that sees bar after bar dished with pointed (“Another pussy eating a big ratchet…get Ya Boy Clipped!”) flair and rich (“Buck 50 ya jawline, that change hang low from ya jibs, ya dig?!”) pedigree. And it’s needed too as after an inconsistent 1st round, a consistently hyper and swiftly snapping K.O. gets better (“I’ve been hood all my life, my mom’s showed me how to rip the top off the Chinese tray to make an extra plate!”) and better as the battle goes along, taking the 3rd round (“You and your homies, the dot’s will find a way to stitch up his face…you gonna be the newest emoji!”) easily after a solid turn by Gwitty–but by then it’s too late.

Verdict: Gwitty (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Gwitty – “URL give me all bread, get shot with a Norbes, a bald head, Smack got more in the vault…like Cortez!”

Chess defeats K.O.

by

Recap: In this vets vs. rooks battle from WeGoHard, Chess and K.O. unload what’s left of their emtire battle rap notebook’s for what turns to be a solid, but a bit of an underwhelming battle. Don’t get it twisted, an aggressive K.O. dished some (esp. in the 1st round) quite a few (“It’s gonna remind Chess of Jumanji, the way those pieces unravel!”; “I’ll umbrella open his top like a frank stand!”) haymakers throughout, all the while using steely gun lines and some nice flips to edge round one. But for K.O., as his penchant for landing roundhouse punches on his opponent lessened, as the match went on, his rampant usage of filler increased that wasn’t helped by elongated rounds that we’re ironically used to seeing from Chess. All that combined gave an opening to the rapid, punch steady Chess, who even while not at his best when it came to spitfire bars and with his standard pedigree of going way over time limits, still spouted enough verbal (“What’s in store?, is you getting [makes like throwing a punch at K.O.] caught on cam…surveillance tape!”) hijinks, performance-rich heaters and consistency to his raps to edge the latter two rounds and pull out a close win.

Verdict: Chess (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chess – “I named this [makes left hand like gun] monkey one, this [makes right hand like gun] monkey two, the right shoot, the left shoot, monkey see, monkey do!”

K.O. defeats Presidential Dubz

by

Recap: A nice barfest between Presidential Dubz and K.O. sees both deliver an assortment of potent gun bars along with quintessential wordplay. And while an aggressive and personal-drenched (“You have yet to win a fucking battle…nah, forreal, forreal, you have yet to WIN a fucking battle!”) Dubz came (“Let’s get something straight here, he went from snitching to being a barber,,,oh I get it, he like lining nigga’s up!”) crazy at times (moreso in rounds 2 and 3), K.O.’s more consistent flow, copious reconstruction of bars and steadier (“I leave more heads wrapped than a Dominican salon!”; “You could learn from mistakes, but for thinking with my dick I should’ve never spit you out!”) punches was more than enough to take first two rounds and the win.

Verdict: K.O. (W) 2-1

Favorite line: K.O. – “Bars outta control, I’m dead nuts, the lead bust, this bitch catching an Ocho head butt!”

Steams defeats K.O

by

Recap: “This nigga don’t deserve to be in my highlights”….that pretty sums this battle up as Steams’ hot bars, delivery and execution provide more than enough material to perform a body on K.O.

Verdict: Steams (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Steams – “How can he not die?, y’all two jokers rolling with two deuces, the ace of spades will give his top 5”
