Razah been doing this since LyricalWar days, he isn't new to this and I'm not surprised to see him have made it this far at all. He was always more a text battler than a topical head I guess, but he has always been solid all round.

Deadman came with fire this round, his usual heady substance spiced with a turn of phrase that could kill a man. This couplet especially stood out for me:

no other option, plaster crackling's so oddly cathartic
it's why i always faced away from the wall.

That was too real. Very dope penmanship. This line caught me too, def deserves more recognition IMO:

compensating, where i begin: incubated en utero
they silver-lined my christening.. nickel-plated my funeral

Illy for real!


Razah is no slouch either though, like I say, dude has been at this years even if it was more on the battle side than topical. Him and Label always been nice with it, I'm fully aware of his skill, maybe people will stop sleeping after this showing from him haha! Tight little verse, think you were the underdog coming into this but a win over deadman is no fluke! I think this is closer than the votes maybe seem, but I've got Razah edging this in a close one. Probably the closest contest this round in all honesty, both competitors brought it though and whoever wins deserves their spot in the quarters. Great battle!
