Analysis

The AHAT battle between Skinbo and Streetz was a showdown of contrasting styles that left the arena buzzing and the rap community split right down the middle. Skinbo stepped into the ring exuding a relaxed confidence, armed with a 'sicc flo' and a reputation for delivering 'hurtful punchlines' that slice deep.
