The Battle Academy stage was set for a clash of styles as the seasoned vet J Murda stepped up against the rising pen of Steel. Murda, known for his consistent heat, looked to cement his status, while Steel aimed to prove his lyrical prowess could hang with the best, despite some whispers about his stage presence. From the jump, J Murda came out swinging, showcasing why he's considered a problem in the circuit.

His delivery was on point, dropping slick writtens and even sprinkling in some hard-hitting freestyles that kept the crowd engaged. Lines like the '50 cal on a tri-pod' punchline landed with heavy impact, proving Murda's ability to switch flows and keep opponents on their toes. Steel, no slouch with the pen, brought some undeniable fire to the table.

He unleashed haymakers like the 'Juice WRLD bar' and a 'Kaep bar' that had heads nodding, showing glimpses of a potent arsenal. However, the consistent stumbles and chokes throughout his rounds acted as speed bumps, often derailing the momentum he was trying to build, especially in the crucial third. When the smoke cleared, it was J Murda who walked away with the clear victory, his veteran composure and flawless execution outweighing Steel's undeniable, yet often interrupted, lyrical brilliance.

Steel's raw talent is undeniable, and with a sharpened delivery, he's definitely one to watch for future big stages.
