While JC displayed his signature penmanship, the surrounding controversy regarding his material, combined with Knalo G's direct approach, gave the local emcee the edge in a battle where fan sentiment was heavily influenced by external factors.
The battle between Knalo G and JC for Manslaughter Battle League was less about the bars exchanged in the moment and more about the storm brewing outside the arena.
