I think more than Geechi’s authenticity plays a factor here. It’s his likability too.
When I first saw him battle in the match vs Ave, I didn’t know who he was or what he was about and even after the battle I was ‘ehh’

on him; could take the nikka or leave him at that point.
It wasn’t until I started watching the Ruin Your Day joints featuring Geechi that I took a liking to him. His commentary would have me cracking up like “this nikka is stupid

”.
Going on RYD was probably one of his best decisions yet. Watching him on that platform in that element made him a lot more personable and relatable than just the average battle rapper.
