These were both dandy. I thought Nigma's embodiment of Poe and resonating with the shadow realm of Poe's dark enigma was quite magnificent. I enjoyed the spectacle thoroughly and while the content itself was not as riveting as say that of Razah's, the language, and the subtleties transcended the heart mirror from which the pieces were reflected from, going into spatial bounds were one has the potential to harness the artist's full creative potential, bravo, one of the best verses of this season.
Razah also came with something special, something reflective and well-worded. Albeit, I sometimes would like to see you challenge yourself more so, simply because you always write short length expositions, while fine especially when matched, on occasion it is nice to see the full development of something more lengthy, where the journey unravels on a more fulfilling note. I realize a lot of people don't like reading or maybe even writing long length expressions, but it is in them one can qualify something beyond a 16 bar verse, or something akin to it. Well done, though, I enjoyed it, but still felt Nigma's channeling of Poe here was a joy to watch, truly haunting ending.
