Analysis

The URL stage was set for a clash, but what unfolded was a masterclass in aggression and lyrical precision from Steams, who came out swinging and never let up. From the jump, Steams unleashed a barrage of intricate schemes and hard-hitting punchlines, leaving Pharoah visibly struggling to find his footing. The crowd, a key element in any We Go Hard battle, was fully invested in Steams' performance, amplifying every bar and creating an undeniable wave of momentum.

While Pharoah showed glimpses of his skill, particularly with a standout 'Flint Michigan' bar, he ultimately couldn't match Steams' relentless pace or the sheer volume of impactful material.
