Wise

Chess defeats Wise

by

Recap: From the Gates, both Chess and Wise put on dope showings during a 1-rounder that featured more than enough sizzling street bars, fiery boasts and hardbody punchlines to keep things competitive. But via a more timely efficient and versatile turn when it came to haymakers, righteous bangers and a gang of stinging wordplay, it’s the Young Gawd who takes this one in the end.

Verdict: Chess (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Chess – “Acting like you smart, but out here doing stupid shit, like calling yourself ‘Wise’, thinking you knew some shit, I mean you could know it all, but it ain’t effective if you don’t use the shit, ‘cuz knowledge is what you know and wisdom is what you do with it!”

O-Red defeats Wise

by

Recap: From Gates of the Garden, Wise who made a nice impression against Tay Roc sometime back, does the same here versus O-Red, using a bunch of fiery schemes, boastful barbs and gritty punchlines to make things competitive in this 1-rounder. But equipped with a barrage of stifling wordplay, rigid sports bars, potent set-ups, sizzling trap talk/gun bars and hard-hitting punches/name flips, it’s a more versatile and steadier with the handle Red who ends up getting the win.

Verdict: O-Red (W) 1-0

Favorite line: O-Red – “Fuck humble Red, you’ll get the cocky side, in them Philly streets with the Tommy gun…it get Rocky 5!”

JC defeats Wise

by

Recap: Don’t get to see 3-rounders from Gates of the Garden too often. But for the 3 rounds, Wise versus JC, is for the most part a doozy, as the former showed he deserved a shot at the vet by delivering a strong and aggressive performance (when he wasn’t taking too long to build to the punches in the earlier rounds) what with a sometimes mean punch-game and a gang of gritty bangers/personals that when consistently lit, made for a debatable 3rd. Good thing for JC tho that he didn’t come to play either. The newly recruited EFB member sticking it to his opponent with a plethora of lethal set-ups/punches, sizzling name flips, rich metaphors, stirring vet talk and bruising wordplay that spiced with the addition of a suprising, final round pop-lock got him both of the opening rounds and proved that whether it’s the younger JC or the older JC, count your blessings on the outcome.

Verdict: JC (W) 2-1

Favorite line: JC – “See, y’all just a copy photo image, y’all flip the same stories for a punchline, but we supposed to believe ‘cuz you so descriptive?!…nigga, so are snitches!”

Tay Roc defeats Wise

by

Recap: Spouting a bunch of spicy name flips, grabbing your attention with some gritty wordplay and dishing a fierce/aggressive mix of grimy mayhem, punchlines and personals, in this 1-rounder from GOTG that featured Tay Roc making his 1st appearance in the Gates, an altogether pretty solid Wise certainly makes a name for himself. Yet, wasting little time (unlike his opponent, who did spit some filler here and there) with straight-ahead potent punches, wily name flips, fire set-ups, a conversational screed or two to go along with a gang of hardbody gun missives and righteous personals, even within the confines of a smaller league, Roc more than makes his presence felt.

Verdict: Tay Roc (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Tay Roc – “The gun lift, your mom’s won’t recognize you when that bag unzip, she like ‘That wasn’t Wise, you musta done some dumb shit!'”

Geechi Gotti defeats Wise

by

Recap: After just completing a battle the previous day, Geechi Gotti makes his first appearance on the Gates of the Garden stage and despite an aggressive, gritty and pretty solid from his opponent Wise, it’s a variety of sizzling name flips and piercing punchlines/personals that gets Gotti the win in this 1-rounder.

Verdict: Geechi Gotti (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Geechi Gotti – “Hey, do you got kids, do they watch your battles?, nigga that’s beautiful, that’ll make it easier for them to deliver Wise words at a funeral!”

Bill Collector defeats Wise

by

Recap: From GOTG, showing off some fire wordplay and consistently hitting with the punchlines, mayhem and name flips, a slightly more steady and condensed Bill Collector manages to edge a pretty solid and gritty effort from Wise in what was a competitive 1-rounder.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “If I catch you off base I’ll tag your block, turn your whole neighborhood to Ragnarok!”

Big Hann defeats Wise

by

Recap: After edging round one with better punchlines and some gritty visuals with the bars, Wise gets a little less potent and predictable with his bars/schemes in the latter rounds, thus leaving more than enough room for Big Hann to edge round 2 with steadier hardbody barbs and easily take the deciding round 3 with a nice mix of lucid personals and rambunctious punches.

Verdict: Big Hann (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Big Hann – “You’ll get [bwoh!] without me even looking….crock pot!”
