Analysis

The Don't Flop stage was set for a lyrical showdown between two talents, Im and Mr 13, a battle that left the fanbase divided on who truly walked away with the W. Mr 13 stepped to the mic with a consistent and polished performance, lacing his rounds with sharp wordplay and a delivery that was always on point.
