Lock was on point from start 2 finish with streight setup punch, setup punch. I enjoyed Pain's delivery more as it had a lil more versatility 2 it but the slower flow cost him a lil on the amount of punches, that comined with not running the clock out i had 2 give this one 2 Lock gb guys. 

Both had some nice lines in there, one more than the other though. In addition to greater conceptual work, my winner also brought the better delivery and his entire verse was well executed. This is very important in audio. My loser was pretty monotone and will have to pick the delivery side up to do some damage on the audio side 

Think one's agression came through here. More at the throat really. Close and althought I'm not familiar with my loser, he has a decent style - stick around bro. Fairs in. 

Lockhart: Your delivery/cadence/energy has evolved leagues, perfect structure to come off as sonically pleasing while maintaining perfect multi usage & some nice internals- conceptually present as well. Every punch was either thematically referential or similie/metaphor-esque & pulled off fairly well. You totally shined in terms of flow/energy here though really good shit. 

PaiNN: Your energy was comparatively monotone/stoney, and your rhyming wasn't grasping for crazy heights hovering at around 3 syllable scheming on average, but what you did go for was a really really substance heavy verse, everything from wordplay which was admittedly a tad played in places (namely horror scope) but executed well enough to be QP-like in terms of setup-punch rapidity. Your style caters really well to the written format, your energy just needs to match your bars- your momentum really fell off considering the emotionless delivery of your content even though the content itself was impactful as hell.

Overall: Where Painn shined in substance Lock shined in energy, the difference was that the contrast between locks ALSO present conceptual aspect was less of a gap than pains divide with his delivery, so I gave this to Lock by an edge. Had lock came conceptually a tad more complex itd been less close and if Painn came with a more interesting delivery itd have been far closer for him- either way though I appreciated the listen and with yall both the best of luck gb 

^wish* lol

One edged it w/ better punches and delivery to me.. fair as always 💯 vote back

Both were good but the winner killed that shit

Fair vote

Lockhart had the better delivery, punches, flow, and scheming. There was a corny punch or two (mainly the analgesia one) but overall it was solid. PaiNN has a grasp on what he's doing for the most part but his delivery wasn't very tight, he seemed to be rambling on, which I suppose is a style that can be made to work but I wasn't feeling it here. Fair's in.

i did like pains verse a lil more but didnt use full time so i gotta go with lock on this one fv in Facts

this was real dope almost as dope as me jk u lads have some mad skills this was real tough but pain had a wee better ending the lockharts fv
