Matchup Previews

Name Pending vs Fuck You Pay Me
I'll be real its hard to predict against the defending champions here, but the fact that Alvin has yet to check in and Murda has a SUPER big battle against him NBL rnd 1 vs ill Nik this very weak, its definetly going to be a test for Sho if Karp don't pop up to lend a hand. Bust and Spree are going to need to be on they bullshit in this one to stay competitive. The storyline to me here is the star quarterback is stuck in traffic and will he be able to make it to the game by halftime. Karp could make all the difference here, but I would not count Sho out from pulling it off all by himself in storybook fashion if he has to. The pressure will be on FU Pay Me to bring the best bars they wrote this month to this battle.

The Outsiders vs Cash Words
Now that I'm writing this its funny how the two top teams are in a similiar position where as one of the battlers is currently MIA. Orc still can replace Kare if he feels he won't show back up so the ball is in his court in that aspect. Fraze and Smirk are a challenge for any team at any time, so Orc being down a man here may play into it a bit more than in the last battle. Like I said with Sho tho, I never count a wily veteran out, so I expect Orc to either pickup a strong partner or make the decision to bar out and go down kamikaze one way or the other. Fraze and Smirk can take a steal here if every thing lines up right and keep there wording crisp as well as staying away from awkward phrasing, they have to bring the right lines. Tbh if Kare shows back up it changes everything, so this is a intriguing matchup for round 1.

Nik Bags vs Gaston & The Hunchback
It's sad that members of the POS Outlaws had to face off here, and yes P.O.S outlaws was not a typo. Anyway, out of the three battles I have reviewed so far I'll keep it 100 this one seems to be the most straight forward on paper. Unless Diode has battling skills unforeseeable by me and Swerve brings the verse of his tenure on NC it looks like trouble for Disneys animated friends in this one. But the unknown is a powerful force, and D and Sdub are old guns at this game. I would think Nik and Bags know what they both are capable better than I do, so that might play into there strengths. This battle should be sick af seeing as all four battlers involved know each other and has a history. Maybe one of the cooler to read for rnd 1 storyline wise.

The Bad Guys vs Hush's Easter
The Bad Guys would seem like the obvious favs here as they have the bigger wins on there resumes as well as the longer resumes with more collective battles under their belts. Rhetoric is still really a new hand to me, and this battle could give him invaluable exp. Thing is field exp can often be costly. If Ace/Resin and Allen are on their shit it can be a slaughter, shit is Ace is hit and miss for me, and Allen sometimes can be too one dimensional. Then again, they have alot of similarities and may mesh into a deadly force. Des and Rhet are a unknown and there chemistry needs to be really strong here. This can be cinderella story or a team burned to cinders.

Migo Lingo vs 100 Grand
Jilti and Spaz bring alot of unknowns to the table in my book, and thats what makes me most concerned when scouting opponents. I haven't read enough of Jilti work to give a strong opinion on him but what I did see was impressive. I have read more Spaz battles and I like him for his wording and relatable concepts. I dont think myself or Cred are unbeatable as we both have are weaknesses, and a plethora of personals to pick threw. I am very visible on the site so Jil and Spaz should have no loss for angles they just need to take there time plotting them out. Cred brings his own X factor to shit because he puts his verses together very different from other active battlers. I think it's going to come down to if Cred can outbar Spaz and if Jilti can outbar me. The difference maker in this battle may be chemistry and I think thats where me and Cred will stand out. So if I was Spaz I would make connecting with Jil early a priority.

The Gentlemen vs Sharp Fox
I feel like this battle has a really interesting air about it due to the backstory on Knuck and Kares recent beef, you might wonder why I think that matters so much and I will be frank with you, Witty scares me. His ability to really hone in on personals and cater his verses 100% for his opponent would worry me when so much ammo is out on the table. But lets be real, I don't think Witty can win this battle alone, and its not a 1 on 1, this 2 on 2 shit is a different beast. And speaking of beast this nigga Sn00p a pure monster, and is no slouch with personal info when he has his hands on it. Sharp and Knuck are the real wildcards here because I am not sure what either one is capable of bringing to the table at this point. Alot of the pressure should be on Sharps back because he is the pure battler of Sharp Fox, whereas the Gentlemen have two veterans who know what it takes to win. This battle is legit almost a 5050 toss up but I lean Gentlemen because I just cant bring myself to predict against Sn00p, that dude is a machine of asskicking when it comes to txt battling.

Doh! Boys vs Mutated Gladiators
Another SUPER competitive matchup for the first round, and its crazy this is a first round matchup cuz this shit could easily be semi finals on any of those other half ass rap battle websites. Tic ended the NBL as the last Champion of the season, and even tho he took the belt in a vacant title match, it dont matter. He had to fight his way up to that match thru some sick ass competition, and dude also made it to the finals in Shadow Boxing tournment AT THE SAME TIME HE WAS CHAMPING NBL. That is no easy feet. Infiltration steady bring heat on a consistent basis but I'm going to need him to take it to the next level here to really break the glass ceiling of true "top tier". Maximus is a unknown here still, but he went HAM in a NBL contedors match this season, if he brings the same level of fire here, and Remy stays away from easy and cliche flips I can easily see Mutated G's taking this, and tbh I wouldn't even consider it a upset, these teams are so evenly matched it might just come down to team chemistry or who wants it more. A stellar performance from anyone here can steal the show, and I see the team with the strongest showing from one of the members winning this one. What I mean to say is I can see this coming down to one guy, and damn near one bar. This shit gonna be a overtime type nailbiter, buzzerbeater situation here. Quote me.

MD 20/20 vs Smoking Aces
The final match of the season and maybe one of the more intriguing ones. The early storyline in this one was could Muffy put his faggotry and emotions to the side and honor his word to Amen like a man. We all know he aint built like that so @joog stepped up to fill Muffs gap, and tbh I think Amen might of traded up considering what I see Joog dropping in the cypha currently open in Battle Arena. Amen has been under performing all yr to me honestly, cuz I know dude is way doper than what he's been showing. Real life does drag on us, but I would like to see Amen try to sit down for a half an hour a day and really churn out one fire bar. If he cant do that here I truly see Unfukwitable and Odd Ways taking this with comfort. If Muff was out before the matchups went up I prolly would have ranked this match opposite with Smoking Aces being the favs. Joog still a unknown tho so who can tell.
