Boston/Ma$$ is 2nd to Only NYC when it comes to EMCEE'S I'll Put ANY of the Top Tear artists Up against any other Region and I Love Detroit & Philly Emcee's but I got Home Team over them 💯🤷🏻‍♂️😎
"Fat box, but her period on got a nucka scary Cherry Garcia, Chunky Monkey... Ben & Jerry's" Rapping about ice cream flavors and HTML hex color codes in the same breath is crazy work 😂 Y'all act like Boston doesn't have any rappers with bars, so I had to rep real quick

I hate seeing good talent miss the mark because of preparation DISCIPLINE is KEY 🔑 Most of the successful rappers in battle rap ain’t only there bc of talent They know how to be disciplined Write when they don’t feel like it Rehearse when they tired Etc. LOCK TF IN 🔒

Spades is not for beginners. You gotta come to table with at least 2 yrs of experience.

I was more interested in their perspectives because @Drect & @June_Pz have already given so much to the culture - they always have the best energy 🙌

Happy birthday my brother PH. Thank you for believing in a kid from Pittsburgh enough to book him to battle in the Mecca of hip hop. Ill never forget you being the best NY tour guide as we drove around pointing out famous rappers projects whilst trying to rhyme 3 name celebrities like Michael Clark Duncan and Sarah Michelle Geller in a grind time comedy way 😂 #battlerap #ripph #brooklyn

20 years ago today, The Wire Season 4 Ep1: “Boys of Summer” premiered on HBO. Arguably one of the best cold opens in TV history.

Dear @urltv I hear your coming back to the UK this year for NOME and I decided in the words of the great Wavy Davy aka @Drect allowed to “pop my shit” (not pausing it) on why I belong on the card Ya boy, one of the only battlers to ever be deemed nice enough to skip a PG has delivered time and time again over the 14 years not only on your platform, but overseas as well. I have done short prep, small room battles, Big stages, and even television for URL with zero slips, no stumbles, and no controversy I have an all time body on URL on the inaugural Rookies vs Vets (Sno) I have a top 25 all time URL battle (B-Magic) I trended on Twitter on UFF when the event didn’t even for my Freestyle Friday performance (Young Kannon) I battled on 2 weeks time against an elite writer (Kid Chaos) Gave shots to new fire talent (Dice) Battled rappers people wouldn’t catch wreck with (Reepah) Battled one of your greatest writers in a small room (JC) I even brought your platform to the steel city twice, battled and sold the joint out (Verb, Rosenberg Raw) But….how will I translate overseas I have rocked UK crowds from Manchester to London. Performed at peak Don’t flop events, packed Premiere league events and even stole the show at Code Red. I even went viral for a performance on @ladbible to raise awareness for mental health for my bro @BodyBagnall Last year on just 24 hours prep I had round of the night and arguably performance of the night on @TOPBIZZY league which created the viral @itsjustyunus meme. This year coming off a top 10 COTY run (9 but shoulda been higher), I haven’t asked for much nor contributed to the negative narrative. If the league is the most respected…..bring on one of the ones most respected by his peers -Seal Deal- #battlerap #urltv #ukrap
