I'm actually with Fats on that Phonix is spitting well, at least the flow on the first verse, but the (verb? or is it just a bad recording with compression?) on the first verse is erm. Interesting. Still, credit where it's due, guy had some decent lines. Guy will be a great, probably with more time on the battle scene (honestly hopes he's in clabtrap proper). That said, Phonix, work on the number of punch ins you use, your mixing, and the amount of filler (the 1st verse was wayyyy too fillerish for me).
Byron shone on this track I think, his flow game was greaaaat, lyrics very focused on personals and content. I think Byron won, despite being out-schemed, just because he stayed funny, flowsy and consistent.
Byron FTW, but Phonix shouldn't be disheartened.
