Ave defeats K1ng

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, a close one here between Ave and King what with the former consistently scoring via a lot of boastful barbs, hitting punchlines, some dope wordplay, wily street darts and piercing name flips. While K1ng (minus a couple of near slip-ups during the battle) displayed his mettle with plenty of witty personals, a couple of solid rebuttals and stinging punches/name flips of his own. However, after an equally sharp, but slightly more condensed and haymaker-lit K1ng edged round 1, Ave would return the favor in round 2 to even things up going into round 3. The final round. tho competitive and laden with plenty of spicy punches on both sides, would be taken by the more profilic Ave to secure the win.

Verdict: Ave (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Ave – “Fall back with this posing, shorty just out here lying, about he grinding, look like he drink water from out the iron!”

Cortez and K1ng [DEBATABLE]

Recap: Fire 3-rounder here from Chrome 23 between Detroit up-n-comer K1ng and Brooklyn vet Cortez. The former scoring left and right with a (“You gonna be hooked up to machines once a slug fire, he go from writing haymakers to hearing a beeping noise…his heart monitor reacting to a one-liner!”) plethora of crazy (esp. mid-round in the 2nd) punchlines, flippant name flips and dope wordplay throughout. While ‘Tez came hardbody with a gang of gritty street raps, righteous darts, some fiery trap talk and other lyrical burners and piercing gun bars that for the most part hit. A close one all the way through, with the help of some nice off-the-dome heat, it’s K1ng who edges round 1 before an equally efficient and haymaker-lit round 2 comes up a tie before the more steady hitting Cortez took the 3rd for the win there, thus making this one a debatable.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Cortez – “I’m so gutta, .40 Cal bone crusher, pole clutcher, Rocky in the meat freezer King, I’m a cold puncher!”
