Krome talks representing the Montreal battle rap scene, blue waffle references, and battle methodology

On Bowks Talking Bouts #96, I welcomed GZ/ DMS battle rapper Krome onto the program.

 

 

We discussed catching a bit of the recent I Battle event, his Big Valley Battles match up with Jaws and the methodology of Krome's writing process (2:59), being nominated for KOTD's breakout battler of the year in 2017 (6:55), appreciating guys like Drake who make calculated chess moves and if he makes similar big picture moves in his battle rap efforts (8:16), his first exposure to hip hop and when he became privy to battle rap (11:03), Krome's experience in recording studios and if he has any immediate plans to drop new music (13:52), if Krome has a methodology for figuring out angles for battle rap opponents (16:48), his key battle with Loe Pesci and how it seemed to represent a changing of the guard in the Montreal battle scene (18:56), the practice of diffusing angles used against you in battles (22:11), if he'll ever have a battle where someone doesn't bring up his first name (23:36), the most fire shit an opponent has ever said to him (25:03), Krome's battle with Jeff and how crazy both sides were in that battle (27:08), the Ryan Gosling angle that Krome took against Esem (28:25), his Blue Waffle reference in the Esem battle and the internet era of steady trippy pictures/ videos dropping (29:28), being combat sports fans and his thoughts on the UFC 226 main event as well as Canelo/ GGG II thoughts (30:28), and more!
