Analysis

The Grind Time Now stage bore witness to a clash that left little room for debate, as 9DM stepped up and delivered a performance that stamped his authority on the night. Word on the street was that 9DM was in his bag, dropping 'insane' lines and showcasing a style that had the crowd buzzing about his beast-like presence. His writtens were clearly in top form, proving once again that a tightly penned scheme often trumps the off-the-dome freestyles in today's battle landscape.
