Sorry for the wait like Drake. Let's get it!
MAY & JUNE  Topic:S.W.O.R.D.(Click) The Participants: The Rap Daemon Okay, so here's a guy that doesn't believe in wasting time or making excuses. He sees a topic that peaks his interest and gets straight to work. Within only a matter of hours of the KOTM being posted Rap D already had a verse typed up and prepared. A procrastinator he is not. In any case, his S.W.O.R.D. application seemed to have drawn its inspiration directly from one of the greatest assassins we've seen since the creation of the video game console, which is none other than Agent 47 from The Hitman franchise and fame. He spends a good portion of his verse explaining to us what makes him such a one-of-a-kind killer. And honestly after giving his submission a thorough read through, I am inclined to believe he might just be everything he portrays himself as. All in all, Rap D gave us a solid effort this time around. Although, some readers thought he should have used more of the allotted timeframe to perfect or tighten up his rhymes. However, judging his verse strictly on what he wrote, I for one, think he did a pretty good. Anywho, check out the intro and link down below and let Rap Daemon know how you feel about his entry. Hitman: The Perfect Hit, Man
Neek It is always a pleasure to read the work of a true veteran. Especially one as lyrical and experienced with the keys as Neek. From the moment you read his first line you already know you're in for a treat. The O.G. kicks his verse off by detailing his Highlander-esque immortality but, then he quickly shifts gears and paints a picture of S.W.O.R.D. being a League of Shadows type of organization, this is before he finishes things off by describing his initiation into the deadly clan being contingent upon him executing the legendary icon of martial arts -- Bruce Lee. As you can tell by my simple synopses Neek's verse was on the high end side of originality. While his writing mechanics were incredibly stellar from start to finish. Impressive stuff. Check it out for yourself. Like Water
KOTM 4 May/June: Neek! What can I say? Both writers did their thing, but I feel Neek had the better mechanics of the two and a more original and fascinating take on the topic. Props to both participants for their effort and congratulations to the winner. Well, deserved. JUNE & JULY  Topic:Look Closely(Click) The Participants: CUBA You know the KOTM is lit anytime you get the captain of the ship on board (pun intended). So long story short Cubes absolutely annihilated this topic. His attention to detail was off the charts as he seemed to leave no stone left unturned. Not only did he manage to dedicate a few line to every character pictured, but more impressively he did so while providing rich backstories and haunting personalities in a minimum amount of bars. In fact, his entire verse came across as highly entertaining and disturbingly realistic ... well, in a Alfred Hitchcock kind of way. In terms of technical skills there wasn't many boxes left unchecked. In a nutshell, Cuba got busy with the concept and gave us all a friendly reminder of just how elite this general can be when he decides to put his fingers on the keys. Salute. Catching fire
Crimson Juice Welp, it was only a matter of time before we got a KOTM verse from the only member more liked than myself. "Sammy?" No! "Alice?" No! "LP?" No! "Endeez?" Jesus Christ! Okay, I get it. There are a lot of people more liked than me, but in this instance I was specifically referring to none other than L.A.'s very own superhero of feedback, Crimson the Juice Man. Talk about being bountiful in substance, this dude has it by the boatload. Even in a piece dedicated to the freaks Crim was able to give a subtle, yet impactful moralistic message while at the same time build a unique and interesting narrative around his submission. Not only was his verse engaging but it was also entertaining in its playwrite approach and structure. However, what I appreciated most about his joint was the precision when it came to meter and tempo. You can this guy is a poetic traditionalist at heart. Wondering what I mean? Here, have a look for yourself. Ripley's Sushi Bar..
Daydizzle89 If there was one person I thought would rip this topic to shreds it was Dizz. I mean, do you guys know Dizz? If so just look at the picture posted above and tell me you think/thought otherwise. Obviously you can't. This KOTM was tailor made for the Sultan of Shock. And as expected the Disturbed One delivered on all fronts, as he plunged us head first into a dark and twisted fantasy so grim even Kanye would need therapy to endure it's PTSD causing side effects . Dizz's tale of an abused child who diced up his mother and fed her seasoned fat to his father was a gripping and insanely visual work of insanity. It was thoroughly entertaining and showcased a high level of mechanical prowess, in particular flow and scheme. Dizz my friend where this KOTM is concerned you have lived up to your reputation. Truly savage and tintilating stuff to say the least. Peep it. The Heart of a Mother
KOTM 4 JUNE/JULY: CUBA This was a hard one. Each participant came with a fresh and interesting perspective and all 3 verses were technically sound. However, I ultimately decided to give the nod to Cubes based on the fact he completely owned the topic and left nothing to be desired. There was not a single image in the picture he failed to explore or give notice to. In any case, props to all who participated and congrats to the winner. Peace... |
