I would assume so, I know he’s with Lupe a lot, and opens for him. And he said he tours all year round, so he seems to be doing fine.

It just seems like he knows how to move in the industry despite not being well known. I think a guy like Surf should be a strong independent act. I honestly believe he could have made that transition a couple of years back and not even have to battle anymore.

I still don't understand how Surf hasn't made that transition. He had the opportunity to see how Joe Budden moved, who was a very solid independent artist. He has the songs. Obviously he loses focus at times though.

Verb has the music now to become a strong independent act, but the guy is not a business man. I think that's quite evident.

For what it's worth, I think these guys like being the "top" or the "king" of something, which they are in battle rap. There's something there that would not be easily replaced.

Verb is going to get 30'd. Any other opinion is just bad. Verb has been pretty bad for years actually. He makes battles decent but I never really go out of my way to watch his battles. I hope he does this battle and then quits. He has like nice delivery and cadence and everything, but he always says weird stuff that he thinks is smart but it's doesn't make sense. Mook is going to kill him and it won't be pretty
verb just had a debatable with twork and I pretty much guarantee Mook wont b as good as Twork was in that battle. theres no reason verb is an auto loss. id bet more on th fact verb just seems more of the type to drop the ball than mook but if it was jiust talent, verb vs b dot and twork >>>>>>>mook vs lux/iron

Mook is his opponent being on point and taking him serious away from being bodied

Think he said some of it’s going to Showw and he gonna give some to the fans.

Hitman wylin lmao
He said if it's 3k he will throw it in the crowd or buy out the bar. If it's 8k he will give it to Show.

Hitman throwing the money in the crowd would be the most lit URL moment ever.

Surf is an average Rapper but an above average battler. These songs about his pain and struggle were a dime a dozen in the early 2000s Mixtape scene.

I hate lux with a passion, but his freestyle on funk flex was crazy and his style was fresh. I've heard squares talk about that freestyle. If he wasn't a lazy bum, he'd make it. But it's obvious Loaded Lexington has no work ethic.
