Community Verdict
This was a highly debatable battle where the winner depends on what a fan values. Big Hann was consistently more direct and aggressive, with many feeling he took the first two rounds. However, a slight majority of fans gave the edge to DNA, citing his more polished flow and a masterful third round filled with name flips that was seen as the single best round of the battle, allowing him to narrowly secure the win.
In a classic New York versus Philly showdown, veteran technician DNA squared off against the aggressive Big Hann in a battle that showcased the strengths of the on-beat format. For two rounds, the debate raged: Hann's raw, DMX-esque aggression and direct attacks versus DNA's polished, veteran flow. Hann seemed to have the edge heading into the final frame, with many fans feeling his material was more tailored to his opponent.
Everything changed in the third round. Over the legendary 'Shook Ones' instrumental, both emcees ascended to another level.
