His consistent delivery and potent wordplay, especially in the first and a 'crazy crazy' third round, reminded everyone why he's considered one of the OGs.

His pen game was sharp, and he unleashed some fiery rounds, with his second being particularly lauded for its impact.

Ultimately, the fans were treated to a back-and-forth affair that showcased both skill and hunger.

While the consensus leaned towards Young Kannon edging out the win with a strong 2-1 performance, NXT's undeniable growth and hard-hitting bars ensured this wasn't no cakewalk. It was a clear statement from both emcees, proving they're serious contenders in the battle rap arena.
