Copywrite's intricate wordplay and dense punchlines, though not always landing with the live crowd, demonstrated a high level of lyrical skill that many viewers appreciated upon re-evaluation. While Tenchoo brought strong freestyles and rebuttals, Copywrite's consistent bar-heavy approach ultimately edged out the performance for a significant portion of the audience who felt his material was 'slept on' by the live crowd.
The Don't Flop stage played host to a clash of styles as UK veteran Tenchoo made his return against the lyrical prowess of US artist Copywrite.
