Analysis

The Grind Time Now stage saw Buddy Lo and SB go head-to-head in a battle that sparked considerable debate among fans. Buddy Lo came out swinging, earning praise for his consistent punchlines and sharp lyrical content. Many viewers felt his bars were more direct and impactful, leading them to crown him the victor based on pure rapping ability.

SB, on the other hand, brought a confident stage presence and delivery, but his performance was marred by allegations of recycled material, with several fans pointing out bars that had allegedly been used in a prior battle against Aye Verb. This perceived lack of originality, coupled with some viewers finding his delivery to ramble at times, created a mixed reception for his rounds. Beyond the bars, the battle was also defined by its technical issues, most notably a persistent creaking floor that became a running commentary point for fans.
