SOL4

The battle started off really strong on Lux side with him taking the first two rounds clearly. His energy, multis, and presence was top notch and he had a barrage of notable punchlines. Bars like the “3 Man Weave”, “Larry Bird Defender”, and “Crackhead Teeth” really stool out in the opening rounds. You could tell Lux was very comfortable and had the crowd in the palm of his hand.

The tide begin to turn in the 3rd round as Mook went on a crazy run after delivering one of his best rounds and Lux having a stumble that lost him the round. Mook would carry this momentum through the next two and showcase his incredible rapping ability and witty wordplay. The “Cat Scan” line in the 3rd was superb along with the “Flip More Keys Than Ignitions” line in the 5th round.

Lux would go on a 3-round run himself to stop the bleeding. He returned to the clever bars and showcased his charisma as a battler. While I do think the 6th Round can be debated, the last two were clear to Lux. The clear separation in material and versatility played a major role in the outcome of the last two rounds.
