Swamp defeats Bad Newz

by

Recap: Even with Bad Newz’s hardbody raps, sometimes abstract shiners and head-ringing mayhem causing plenty of havoc throughout this battle, over the course of 3 rounds, a more consistently nice and versatile Swamp’s more potent punchlines, stinging name flips/personals, gritty street narratives and witty darts prove to be too much for the less intricate Cave Gang member in this fiery Banned battle from Smack/URL.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Swamp – “I ain’t playing with not one of these muthafucka’s, its devouring time, last time it was Your Honor, now the honor is mine!”

Swamp defeats Your Honor

by

Recap: In one of the better PGs from 2019, it’s a flawless 2nd round that along with some surprising (“And you was just a Lunchable, I was always taught to cover my own ass, like if you say “grace” I say one right after you, just in case God don’t fuck witchu!”) wit and extra spicy personals/name flips that stand out for the normally gun bar/punch-heavy Swamp here as the South Carolina battler used a condensed and punchline-lit turn to edge round 1, before the aforementioned 2nd also earned him that round. And while the witty/slick storytelling (“I seen a nigga who had nothin’…still get bitch-slapped!”) backstylings of Your Honor had at the very least kept things close in the earlier rounds, the DC rapper could only muster (bird sounds included) a half-hearted effort in the final round, which in turn would help a still-on-point and gritty Swamp get the 30.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Swamp – “You play with me I’m a grip the thing, the drum stick [drumstick] will leave ’em all flat like most bitches like they chicken wings!”

Swamp defeats Apollo

by

Recap: All Swamp in this one as the South Carolina spitter flexes a series of potent trap talk, stinging punchlines/schemes, fire set-ups and stifling personals to easily 30 a mostly pedestrian and ill-prepared Apollo in this Proving Grounds battle from Smack/URL.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Swamp – “You look like you be loving and cuffin’ bitches, not me, the minute my mama put that light bill in my name I stopped trusting bitches!”

Swamp defeats Tune 6’8″

by

Recap: Tune 6’8″ could have the record for tallest battle rapper. But in this 1-rounder versus Swamp from BK Battle League, there’s noting much to see as Swamp’s dope braggadocio lines, stinging name flips and heated schemes/punchlines easily beat back Tune’s performance-heavy but mostly pedestrian raps.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Swamp – “You a tall muthafucka, but this 40 nickle will slow cook a nigger like a pot roast!”

Swamp defeats Illa

by

Recap: We Go Hard battle between Swamp and Illa sees the latter keep with close throughout with a rich combo of dope (“Let this nigger cross me, choppers coming out…false teeth!”) punchlines, fly schemes and some nice name flips. But even with a slight slip-up in the 1st round, overall Swamp just came with more heat, the South Carolina battler scoring left and right with a crazy and (“You ain’t fucking with me, I’m too lethal, I been to hell and back twice, my life got two sequels!”) punch-heavy opening round, before also taking the latter two rounds with a bunch of sizzling trap talk, witty personals, lofty performance lines and fiery gun bars/punches/set-ups to earn the 30.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Swamp – “Soon as I pull up, I hop out that bitch, Kobe Bryant with the stick, I done hit so many, they don’t give a fuck how many shots I done missed!”

Swamp defeats Skinny Man Bang

by

Recap: Intense 1-rounder between Swamp and Skinny Man Bang with plenty of mayhem, righteous gun bars, aggression, heated personals and blazing punchlines from both battlers. A close one with a wide array of haymakers, at the end it’s a more consistent with the punches, storytelling, witty and wordplay-lit Swamp who gets the edge here.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Swamp – “You get on my nerves more than when I’m in a rush to wash my ass and the shower curtain just keep grabbing my leg!”

Power Lines defeats Swamp

by

Recap: From South Carolina Battle League, tho he did some reaches here and there and rapped twice as longer as his opponent did, a cleaner-flowing, scheme-heavy and at times punch-lit Power Lines, helped a bit by a Swamp choke (which led to his crew having to finish his round) ends up with enough fiery darts to take this 1-rounder.

Verdict: Power Lines (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Power Lines – “Drive-by, shotgun out the window, you dead from the jump, ‘cuz when we come around one time you getting smoked…like too many hands on a blunt!”

Swamp defeats Gwitty

by

Recap: Dope battle between Swamp and Gwitty, sees them both packed with heated bars, rich set-ups, witty lines and various methods of destruction. Still, while Gwitty for the most part came (“I’m mad skinny, I need a country girl to get with me, I beat all in her face, I heard y’all eat good in the country…I expected more on my plate!”) nice with his despite struggling with his flow here and there, a slightly more consistent with the punches and more (“‘I said ‘cuz this is not an act, I’ll pull up where you popping at and pop a gat, have the cig tucked behind a nigga ear like its the last one from out the pack!”) haymaker dropping Swamp ends up taking this one-rounder from No Ransom BL.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Swamp – “I hope you came on your A-1 shit, no slip-ups or stumbles, I hope you came with balance, ‘cuz I got beams, machines, bars, schemes, set-ups…this shit look like the ‘You Name It’ challange!”

Swamp defeats D Nice

by

Recap: Holding it down for the opening rounds with a gang of visceral punchlines, drawn-out mayhem and sporty name flips/wordplay/set-ups, a more condensed Swamp puts in enough work to beat back a thrill-seeking, gritty and punch-lit, but also elongated D Nice in what was a competitive 3-rounder from No Ransom Battle League.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Swamp – “I made all the funeral arrangements for your ass nigger, I even paid for the plot, the casket was expensive as fuck, but shit even U-haul make you pay for the box!”

Swamp defeats Polo

by

Recap: Nary lacking for confidence, Swamp uses a gang of boastful stunting, scintillating gun bars, fiery personals and flippant name flips to beat back a solid and gritty, but nowhere-near-as-potent turn by Polo in this 1-rounder from Carolina Barrs Rap Battle league.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Swamp – “Every time this bitch open his mouth, dog gonna lick a shot, that’s a Snapchat filter!”

Swamp defeats Shawty Raw

by

Recap: Well, if there’s one thing you just can’t do when there’s money on the line in a battle, it’s choke. Unfortunately for Shawty Raw–who after getting overwhelmed by Swamp’s grimy bars, way more potent lines and heated punches in the 1st round, made for a gritty enough comeback in the 2nd to make that round both competitive and debatable 2nd–his fate (and $400) would not only be decided by his opponent’s sizzling punchline game and fiery gun bar verbiage, but also a total loss of his bars.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Swamp – ” I said I’m done playing, you see me, it’s front pages, gun’s blazing, bucks from all kinds of muthafucka’s…like you fundraising!”

Robb Marley defeats Swamp

by

Recap: Even the out-of-nowhere phone convo in the 3rd round doesn’t do much to help Swamp as besides a debatable 2nd round, opponent Robb Marley more condensed lines, lofty personals, witty jokes and ‘shit’-laced punches in the opening and closing rounds prove to be no match for Swamp’s less potent bars and often erratic showing.

Verdict: Robb Marley (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Robb Marley – “I thought you was gay in school, bitch your lip gloss was popping!”
