T-Top defeats Mike P

Recap: His only mistake being prolonged rounds, in this URL/Civil War bout against Mike P, T-Top uses a versatile and name-flip lit round 1 before delivering a terrific, set-up savvy and stifling race angle in round 2 (that was capped by a sublime cameo from Top's 'white friend' Anderson Burruss) to take that round as well and get the win before spouting a personal-bent 3rd round, that while redundant in is theme (more knocks on Mike;s girl), was still witty and punch-heavy to make this a 30. Mike P, who struggled to gain any momentum back after Top's (in front of his hometown, Raleigh, NC, crowd no less) stellar 2nd, never seemed to never be in his bag either way, what with an up-n-down opening round, a Street Fighter scheme that didn't transition well and a gang of subpar punches that when he wasn't scoring with his usual assortment of graphic mayhem and jaunty punches/personals, gave him little chance in this battle.

Verdict: T-Top (W) 3-0

Favorite line: T-Top - "I love you, Mikey, just disappointed in the way it was handled, you damn near stopped her from havin' y'all child, 'cause you felt like you were takin' a gamble, well, I'm from Carolina, it woulda hurt to see the baby [DaBaby] get canceled!"

Lexcee Baby defeats Lady Caution

Recap: Flexing throughout with a gang of brazen punchlines, witty personals, some rigid wordplay/schemes and head-ringing /gun bars/hometown heat, for 3 rounds Milwaukee battler Lexcee Baby delivers an absolute hurting to a gritty, but lyrically over-matched Lady Caution and scores a 30 in this bout from Barz N Brastrapz.

Verdict: Lexcee Baby (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Lexcee Baby - "Cause a scene and I'll shoot the movie...that's a bootleg!"

Lady Caution defeats Rio

Recap: There's two Rio's?! Anyway, solid showing by Rio who with a bunch of righteous punchlines and earnest street rhythmn's in this 1-rounder from GOTG, should get another plate or two. But a Lady Caution without any hiccups flow-wise, much less on her shit with a gang of boastful barns, sizzling punchlines/name flips and ready-for-that-action gun bars gets this one easy.

Verdict: Lady Caution (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Lady Caution - "Clap you as soon as we see you...mosquito!"

Hollow Da Don defeats K-Shine

Recap: Not exactly K-Shine or Hollow Da Don at their best during this Summer Madness 11 matchup, but both vets still put on pretty solid performances in what was a much anticipated bout. Hollow, seemingly mimicking Shine's rambunctious style at times and scoring at will with a gang of wily punches, flexing wordplay and witty/mocking/storied personals in spite of a few subpar lines here and there, would standout when it came to his rigid set-ups and stifling anecdotes. On the other hand Shine would keep it competitive with a bunch of performance-rich mayhem, pointed personals and dope storytelling/4-bar setups (esp. in round 3, his best turn). A close one throughout, the slightly more haymaker lit Hollow takes both of the opening rounds for the win before Shine took the 3rd clearly to avoid the shutout.

Verdict: Hollow Da Don (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Hollow Da Don - Fuck that, fuck that, back to the metaphors...I'll [bends down] get lower than your credit score!"

Verdict: Shooney Da Rapper (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Shooney Da Rapper - "Bitch, you really out here dressed like my Uncle Bobby!"

Cali Smoov defeats The Saurus

Recap: Well, that was surprising. After using a gang of heavy punchlines to take round 1 and withstanding the passionate personals and nifty storytelling rhymes from opponent Cali Smoov to force a draw in round 2 with more pointed personals/schemes, an early 3rd round choke by the veteran The Saurus allows a tidy flowing Smoov to spout his usual assortment of mayhem-rich darts, piercing struggle bars and solid punches to score a 10-7 in the final round and get the win in this KOTD Season 1 matchup.

Verdict: Cali Smoove (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Cali Smoov -

Stuey Newton defeats Reverse Live

Recap: From KOTD's Season 1 tournament, Reverse Live gives a strong effort with a bunch of wily personals and brazen punches on his opponent Stuey Newton.

Verdict: Stuey Newton (W) 2-1
