Pretty clear victory here for Lock. Seemed he went light or, rather lighter than usual and still swagged through easily. Joshua, not too bad man. A few things need to be fixed though. Structure, execution of concepts etc. keep at it, man.

KILLERS

This was close. One had more punches which is the style I love of course but the others punches just stronger for me when it came down to it. 

nice battle.

Decent battle here..although there is a huge difference in punches, structure, and wordplay. Lockhart was much more creative with his punches. Mario scheme was nice but my favorite was the last straw and easy bakin lines. Very well put together lock!

As for JS. Your punches weren't as heavy nor creative as your opponent. Using wordplay like con-solid-ates doesn't make sense btw. Also ive never heard of a phone wizard lol...anyways, keep working on your writing style. If you read some bars from some heavy weights on here, you can learn. Fv

i got one taking it with heavier punches and personals, the other was alright but couldve added more to his disses i think. fv no h8. gl dudes.

I'm not gonna over explain here. One verse was overall a bit better. Both did a great job. One had some imperfections in a few places while the other was consistent. Votes concealed. 

Benny requested that his expo comments got deleted.

That Capri sun was fire! Head Kicked- Special teams fire! I thought this was a close battle, I like the format Benny utilizes and Lock had some heavy haymakers. Just dropping a fv. Good shit fellas! I gotta go with what popped more for me when playing it in my head. 

Felt my winner had more complexity within his bar work and coming off as more logical. Other did a great job at structure but a couple times I had to re-read to stay with the flow. It's important to make sure the readers get the smoothest execution as possible, especially in a battle like this. Voted. Good luck!

Cool battle i liked both verses couldnt really name any standouts but both were pretty cohesive and kept it level throughought.  Had to give it to who didnt force their words in as much

This was a good clash.

Lockhart your opener was dope..like how you responded to those allegations, nice smooth read, delivery was on time..and punches hit hard..

Benny your opener was dope to..the build up and then the punch..but I felt like some  of ya bars didn't have the same punch impact..it was creative and a smooth read just the Punch delivery needs more power..then you'll be a monster 

my vote is Locked
