They aren't "pushing" him. They just keep throwing him out there because he gained popularity quickly. A push involves a marketing strategy. I don't see one.
So you forgot when they were randomly rolling trailers of him, not promoting anything, before battles?

Could be used as a good angle on him in the future

nikka had the entire crowd saying his special move for him by his 2nd battle :dwillhuh: what other PG was like that?

Yup. Dude was a standout and was doing numbers right off the bat.

After we saw him on Smack, we saw him at all the events showing love. Smack is not buying him tickets for all types of random battle events just to be there. He/his team is responsible for that.

So now the other battlers admire him, and aren't ashamed to say it. Now on top of having fans, he gets fan support from other battlers.

The match-ups he's getting aren't particularly strategic. We see what URL was trying to do with Chess, I love Chess skillset but URL is trying to force him on the public. URL is trying to make Chef Trez a big name as well, he did one big thing on URL, but he hasn't been all that impressive otherwise. Prep is another person who we could see is still getting a push. TheSaga was getting a push, but that's over with now. You can even say Gjonaj had a push. Dude was like #1 draft pick status, and held out after his PG. They let him hop on stage at Summer Madness and call out Dizaster, after a dope PG performance.

I can go on and on, but all this is happening because people just love Twork. I don't see what URL did besides notice how popular he was getting & force him onto whatever card they had next.

URL should cancel Twork vs Wavy and let Twork sit until the next big card.

Glueazy vs Mr. Wavy would be a better match-up anyway.

Url seems accommodate mr wavy and I don’t think that diva would accept a battle with glu.

Ummm..

  • Gave him his own trailer, just promoting him
  • Forcing him on every card
  • Holding his footage extra long when he chokes
  • Smack on stage literally telling him its ok he choked
  • Multiple surprise battles
Most pushed product in battle rap history.
