Manhattan, you are one of the most respected new cats on the text side but you are about to enter your first audio tournament.. How do you feel?

Thanks fam and I feel pretty good. I know I'm not going to win it but I want to have fun and get some dope matches in. I'm starting to climb over to the audio side.Not my first audio tourney though I was in the audio scheme and Ray no showed me first round and than I no showed man down when I was away for that weekend

Well hopefully you get to battle in an official tourney this time. Would you like to battle with vets from the get go or do you prefer an easier path to the later stages?

I would prefer facing someone easier at the start for sure but I'd ike to battle and audio vet for sure

I feel you. What expectations do you set for yourself in this tournament?

I just want to get a couple of dope audio battles in for sure and at least get past the first 2 rounds haha a lot of dope heads in this tourney

No doubt No doubt. How hard was that text to audio transition for you?

The transition wasn't too bad I mean I started with freestyles but it's been hard for me to really find my delivery and just to be comfortable on the mic. I feel I've been improving though and my writtens sound a lot better than frees over the mic

That's wassup...Who in your opinion can go far in this tourney

I think that Phil Banks, Stricc, Ticket and Jason have the strongest change of winning. However there are tonnes of others in this like m-rock.rule,osa,dgw,man down, dono etc that could also pull this off

Finally, explain to these people why they should not sleep on you

I got bars! haha

There it is. Don't sleep on Manhattan, he might not have the experience but he has game. It'll be fun to see how he handles himself in his first audio GC so best of luck to you my dude



Jason, you are the current LBA Champ and along with that you have so many titles, titles that'll make every LB member jealous. Talk me through your success for a bit

i just capitalised at a time where i was very motivated to improve and get better. i think i was the start of a new generation after many of the older guys left. i took that and ran with it and it resulted in some good wins. i don't think my verses back then were particularly great. i think I've since then stepped it up a whole lot. people need to understand titles are not that important. i won my titles when i wasnt at my best. id take the way i am now over the way i was when i won my titles. skill over everything

I see. Who do you think will win this tournament? Do you have any underdogs that you'll be keeping a close eye on?

theres some big names in here, Ticket obvious, Stricc, Phil, etc .. but if I've learned one thing its that tournies are unpredictable .. its always anyones game

I feel you on that one. So, how proud are you and RULE on your son's, Jason DeRULEo's success? Nah fuck that..confident that you'll be the first ever to hold that 3xGrand Champion title?

lmfao...im not sure man. like i said, tourneys are anyones game. upsets happen and unexpected people often take home the title. itll be a fun run regardless, im not too concerned about the outcome. id like to win an audio GC so im hoping for the win.

Why are you so humble? You should be talkin shit bout everyone right now

its always the guy that talks shit that gets knocked the fuck out

Very True. Any last words?

naw, I'm not the one getting killed

Jason is one of the most decorated battler's here on LB and the fact that he's still so humble should be inspiring to most who have yet not proven themselves. People who are looking for quality spars should not look further and vote on his battles. Best of luck to you Jason
