Analysis

The Cold City Battles stage witnessed a clash between Prince Kong and Oshea, an encounter that was less about crafted bars and more about raw, off-the-dome energy. This wasn't your typical heavy-hitting, pen-to-paper war; it was a last-minute freestyle affair, a test of quick wit under pressure, with both MCs keeping it light.

His rounds were peppered with self-deprecating remarks about his lack of focus, giving the crowd an honest, if unpolished, performance.
