[@amosmccleese3374]

That opening freestyle by A Ward was CRAZY!!!!!

[@tny-]

blows my mind, can't believe he pulled that off the top

[@kyleshuler2929]

That, "you wouldn't buck fifty a laundrymat with 6 quarters" was one of the dopest rebuttals I've ever heard.

[@malcolmedwards9150]

They Aint Even Catch That!!!! - DOT VOICE!!!!

[@malcolmedwards9150]

*****​ a buck fifty is using a blade to cut into someone's face, usually it's leaves like an "L" scar but bloods used to do it a lot in the east coast as initiations into different sets to prove that they're down to put in work when needed.

[@boomshakalaka7203]

Malcolm Edwards aka "150" stitches

[@narcoskeptic]

A Ward's mid round rebuttals are freeeeeezing cold

[@BenGLastreezy]

*It seems like A. Ward bodied the crowd also, because they wasn't getting what he was saying, F and an L to Franchise 3:0 to A. Ward straight up*

[@d.elliswrites3008]

Maybe I watch too many battles but Ive literally heard every bar from Franchise before. He's got good energy tho.

[@tonecapi6997]

exactly how I felt...he is doing what I call "dry clippin" which means he basically bites a line but he flips it so it sounds different enough so the average fan won't catch on

[@thealessi]

I thought so too.

[@BrandonPerezOne]

I feel you on this one

[@brandonrobinson8662]

that life like resurrection bar gjonai all day

[@OBA2G4L]

Lol fact

[@DannyTheBarGod]

A Ward 2-1. Good shit from both though

[@homeskoolmc1852]

My own opinion has now been officially verified.

[@fredztuhh]

+Homeskool MC same

[@warreportchapo6]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@babyslimvevo3855]

Franchise took that shit y'all sleep

[@babyslimvevo3855]

but what's good mr.ahat legend

[@corypayne32]

A dope Award Bear scheme... By the street code he act (kodiak) hard, i don't (Care) feel me/ He turn ghost, he don't want smoke he (smokey) knows he burnt toast, i (black) on squares really/ On the poll or (polar) in the building you can't compare silly/ Don't pan the (panda) camera yet... I'm getting to the burial (berry yall) .. BEAR with me! #KOTD #WD6IX #AWardVsFranchise

[@corypayne32]

I'm the one who posted it in the other video

[@jonathanharrell4602]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DBD241]

I really wish he delivered that better cuz it was dope

[@cyrussmylie6785]

dat shit light fam you gassin.

[@lemuelreyes1941]

thats too hard to catch without the text, just went over people's heads

[@KxngJuice15]

A.WARD IS DOPE

[@KxngJuice15]

so is franchise though

[@tswizbaby]

My boy A Ward finally getting some recognition 👌🏻

[@wrxrob2589]

Welcome to franchises' gas station, fill up on pump 3

[@tny-]

embarrassing really. ward called it and they still played into it.

[@erikmiddlestead3328]

A Ward's pen is way too clever for these dudes. They could keep up with what he was spittin. 🔥🔥🔥 A Ward 2-1 or 3-0

[@MinnesotaLuke]

Franchise good but JESUS CHRIST GAAAASSSSS

[@twotablesnmic]

talk that shit Luke!

[@RAYMONEY954]

Minnesota Luke Exactly Rite!!! I have been following Franchise & A Ward since this battle and I have gone back to older battles for both of them they have both gone a long way and both have a lot more potential... But let me tell you A Ward was good then but has gotten so much better!! He is one of the best new guys that has come out in the last few years his battles are All 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and he always brings 3 solid rounds! He either wins his battles or has a classic he never gets beat and he definitely is not getting Killed by Anybody, and that goes for Any League!

[@kazumi9626]

Minnesota Luke nah

[@stevensolis2023]

They gave A. Ward nothing but golf claps. Crowd so bias.

[@Dthemachine07]

A. Ward is ridiculous. Tell every adult or kid (orchid) when they see (daisy) your iris (iris) and two lips (tulips) swole im putting f lower thats Gardner in the dirt where he belongs Big ups to Franchise. That third rd opener was fire as well.

[@coachdee5162]

Franchise has alot of cheerleaders but a.ward kilt him

[@jerichoroberts2497]

100%

[@thecommentator4960]

I never click on a battle video of MCs I never heard of before. Something told me to click on this one...and I'm glad I did.

[@autorocketmondsetx2491]

ayoooooo A.Ward is that nigga bruhhh.. delivery.. bars.. performance.. nigga got confidence... keep working bro I see you all the way from Texas my G

[@Jipstik]

A.Ward just bodied 50 Bulletz 😂

[@narcoskeptic]

"Bum Nitty" ahahahahaha

[@jerichoroberts2497]

Hahahaha

[@corypayne32]

More dope Award bars! But before we go, I gotta take him to class here! In the Past, His Stories (History) had him labeled as a crook with the Shotty/ Look at the AfterMATH, these Word Problems got my Foot in your Hiney/ You lack CREATIVE WRITING, you should pick up a Book as a Hobby/ You've been in comfortable fights, but I can feel the tension (Detention) after ours (After Hours) got you hooked to an IV/ But they all still love you! Sike! All the GZ (Psychology) cats knew you'd get cooked like Tamales/ You dead, and that to me (Anatomy) is how you look at a Body!/ #KOTD #WD6IX #AWardVsFranchise

[@canadianboyamericangirl8856]

"we've been through rough scenarios, Character is built on how you respond......some have FARED WELL some are on WELFARE, but they still have the same value to GOD" THAT WAS NAAAAAASTY!!!! - A. WARD Third Round

[@KindnessForWeaknesa]

A.Ward has a pen that's way too deep and a Presentation that's ready for the main stage! Can't wait to see him battle more! 2-1 A.Ward clearly!

[@dmv_p]

Quit playing with A Ward ... cause he's not!!! Son nice

[@shannonbruce9183]

That was the best battle kotd put out this month

[@kujo91km]

He moved it from GZ, He'll yeah, smart move. Listening to the fans my nigga organik for the people.

[@homeskoolmc1852]

A Ward's flower scheme in the second was slept on also, wow.

[@EyseKold]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 A. WARD with the instant kill

[@jothe4thman]

That crowd was gassing Franchise like crazy!! Half his material was light but they were right on que with the gas!! Lol! You can even see them watch the crowd just waiting for the punch then go crazy lol! A-Ward 3-0

[@JeffBriggs916]

I can't take Franchise and his fake gravel voice. A.Ward 3-0

[@OnlyRapAndHipHop]

Repay value way up. After a third time I'm still catching schemes and small details I missed. A Ward standing out more and more with each replay. Fire battle.

[@SkyBlew]

VERY DOPE BATTLE!!! Hope to see them both on a big event. They are both next up, that's a snapple fact.

[@cousinhercules5144]

Salute to KOTD for taking this battle from the GZ channel and putting it on the main page. A ward 3-0. Franchise had some shit but not enough. Ward is original, dope pen game, slick punches, and I wasn't drown out by gun bars and good stage presence. I'd like to see him against a tougher opponent soon. Not sure who but this kid will be on another card ASAP Salute

[@1love1light56]

My first time seeing these two lyricist and they both had well written material and performance. KOTD never disappoints keep it up

[@charminglamar]

Man this was DOPE. This is battle rap at it finest.

[@isaiahm3503]

DROP THAT ARSONAL VS CORTEZ

[@BigSwerv623]

right! they need to drop it already that is what im here for

[@ismokesomuchcrack]

+Justin Esser-Jones they aint gonna release it for like a month

[@BigSwerv623]

+beast mode ik im so hyped for it

[@BigSwerv623]

+Lord Leo where can I see it

[@youreyourdadsdadsdad3739]

from the GZ channel to the main channel, you know it's a great fucking battle... a. ward still 2-1 no matter the channel

[@grandekristian]

damn that RONE track sucks so bad 😂

[@scraps113]

Most of us kids woke up in the trap! That's maze runner - Franchise

[@mattlandry]

A ward has some complex ass shit in here that's getting slept on. Even I had a hard time keeping up with some of em. lots of replay value here! Dope as hell!

[@GabeReal505]

This battle was so good they had to move it to the main channel

[@3PFD]

A Ward clearly. Franchise had some heat but was getting GASSED for some basic bars. A. Ward gon be a problem!

[@dejordo1]

My homie A. Ward 3-0d this fool. God is good all the time bro!

[@sliderwandile4835]

one of the best battles this year

[@yahyahali8313]

This is the best up and comers battle I've ever watched. The 30mins whizzed by too fast

[@TorchingPanda]

Best battle i've seen in a while.

[@gregvolmar1058]

AWWWWWAARRRDDD WOW...bar for bar 3-0 let's cook, westbrook, You heard enough of durant (the rant)...all 3 rounds from Award was fire but that 3rd....was whewww flamez

[@charminglamar]

Now let's cook Westbrook, I know you tired of da rant(Durant). Nice🙄🙄🙄

[@Jonesy0218]

A Ward vs. Gjonaj would be NUTS!

[@TheRealest127]

Fuck yeah it would

[@KindnessForWeaknesa]

damn I ain't even think of that! that would be fire.

[@tsturtz82]

that would be battle of the worst voices

[@grease_witherspoon]

Gjonaj 3-0

[@exsaber123as]

franchise 2-1, a classic battle best kotd battle so far

[@corygeorge9548]

1st round = Franchise 2nd round = Franchise 3rd round = debatable ( although I feel like A Ward edged it more) 3-0 Franchise or 2-1 Franchise Really great battle. Both came out giving their very best each round. Big win for us the fans.

[@Anjo.inspires]

I'm just tryna understand where these 3-0 franchise cheers are coming from. I feel as if he was just spitting basic stuff that truly needed no thought or creativity to put together. No hate, just tryna get another perspective on why they feel he won is all.

[@anriyasanton6662]

This battle more lit than the fucking Title Match. 3-0 for the fans

[@mattlandry]

Franchise is like the black version of Gjonaj. All energy and same delivery.

[@narcoskeptic]

except they rap completely different

[@mattlandry]

lol fuck off Narco

[@reowreow8362]

Too many gun bars for me, I don't mind a clever one but Franchises 3rd round 50% gun bars 20% gun sounds. C'mon man hahaha

[@pccj316]

cats don't win battles cause more crowd reactions. a ward 30 straight up.

[@nickanand8087]

Body bag award to main stage

[@The3rdGunman]

Ward nice...but he sound like Gjonaj

[@homeskoolmc1852]

So Gjonaj has a heavy southern accent now? lol everyone thinks anyone with an aggressive delivery sounds like Gjonaj now.

[@chrispalmaccio]

You got the dudes mixed up. Franchise sounds exactly like gnojaj

[@TheNewbsTube]

its funny because Gjonaj stole his whole delivery from Diz.

[@DuhLeeSinguh]

You must mean franchise

[@The3rdGunman]

Chris Palmaccio No...I didn't get them mixed up I'm not stupid. They both graduated from the Gjona School of Delivery, but Ward sound like Gjonaj more in cadence and when he's not yelling. Franchise is just garrggling his voice like Gjonaj but doesn't sound like his voice.

[@chickenandcheese23]

Wow this boy A. ward is crazy! Franchise is crazy too! I gotta keep up with these two fo real! Big ups KOTD!!! Great Battle!

[@Lms305]

DOPE to see this get the Main Page love. Franchise arguably took every round, he had haymakers in that shut the room down. But A.ward had enough memorable quotes to make an argument for him every round too. GZ and the fans won on this.

[@Nox-Eldar]

Agreed, Franchise just used insults and rapped about killing him instead mixing in knowledge and wit. Ward didn't even curse and still crushed him.

[@FREELIVING190]

this was a real competive battle I liked the contrast in styles and how they both directly attacked there opponent ..this battle has that og kotd feel ..not picking a winner btw

[@keeptruckintexas4997]

Straight classic!

[@emilioramirez642]

this was a really really good battle

[@TigerBacker010]

I have A-Ward 2-1. His delivery was cleaner. Franchise slipped up towards the end of the 3rd. It wasn't as much of a classic as some other battles I've seen, but both MCs definitely brought it. It was Franchise's energy vs. A-Ward's charisma. If Franchise would've delivered his bars better in the 3rd, I probably would've given it to Franchise. Dope battle.

[@ryanbaker8685]

2-1 A.Ward 1st & 3rd.

[@spittazforem4587]

Good to see Franchise being a little, and I mean, A LITTLE less one dimensional. Still gave the battle to A.WARD 2-1 and I gave Franchise the second round cause he was a bit more creative. Crowd seemed to gas Franchise too... That Westbrook bar was CRAZY!!

[@Mrigothands]

Smacked the shit outta him! 3-0 award clearly

[@TheNeumannknight09]

damn good batle, glad it made it to the main page, saw it yesterday on GZ channel

[@em1tch521]

That was a nice battle.

[@TechJungle]

Dope fckn battle!

[@JM-id4kv]

a. ward caught a body

[@mynation5577]

this a dope battle

[@ShawnAlleyne1]

A. Ward was SICK!!! I slept on this battle but I'm glad I finally checked it. This shit was better than most "top tier" shit out now. I give the slight edge to A. Ward. Franchise was nice but Ward was more creative with his.

[@LyfeTru]

this battle is FIRE tbh

[@Kronki01]

GOOD BATTLE FROM BOTH

[@ANewCut_Official]

I think these guys both killed it, but I appreciated A Ward more because he would clap whenever Franchise has some dope lines.

[@jaysekhon8014]

So much crows bias I swear I thought this was a Smack battle

[@mauricesullivan1565]

That was a CLASSIC !! First time I ever heard A ward .. dude is nice !! This was the best match on the card !!

[@AngelRey01]

A Ward 3-0

[@NZDERO1]

Bulletz said it. Chea KOTD. This battle crazy good!

[@chickenandcheese23]

+Jayblac1615 I need a review of this one!

[@malcolmedwards9150]

@jayblac1615 Shake our hand Blac!!!

[@BrandonPerezOne]

This was a dope ass exchange

[@JamisonMichael]

At first I thought I was trippin..I was like "I think I saw this battle already "

[@toungebreaker]

3-3 GG i ain't picking both was fire

[@millybadison767]

maann Award gotta pen 📓🖊 but I felt like the crowd was ⛽️⛽️ for the homer in this one... Good battle tho!!

[@REVJHD]

Who keeps telling these guys "Scream more, makes you sound super legit"

[@aliastheaddikt]

i got told that like 30 mins ago in so many words lol. by a veteran battler

[@94blckhawaiian]

+aliastheaddikt homie need more of you battling! i watched you vs Esem a hundred times. keep working hard brotha

[@chefkenburnem211]

no lie this battle was heavy..way doper than the title in my opinion.

[@michellep.4837]

Franchise, wanna be Suge so bad right now.

[@JoeCatania11]

I had Franchise taking this 2-1. I think Franchise really attacked A ward in the first, bringing a whole lot of energy combined with some great haymakers, and then edged the second as well. Taking nothing away from A ward; he is fantastic. They both have great futures ahead of them. Also, for anyone people saying Franchise is all gas; He is captivating live, and brings a crazy energy to the room. You wont understand until you see him in real life HD.

[@edwinayuso2358]

I want what you're smoking.

[@loubassy8899]

good from both sides. surprise good battle.

[@BroderHugos]

This battle is fucking dope! Big up! They will both battle for KOTD soon and not GZ.

[@alanthealien3282]

Sick

[@nateking7691]

A. Ward vs Madflex or A. Ward vs Real Deal pls

[@aaronperretta4303]

Jared Emerson-Johnson - How’d you like that RD battle? :)

[@shilmardepedro7229]

Punches/schemes/flow/angles/that motherfuckin freestyle ability. A. Ward on my radar now. Thank you for the breath of fresh air, not the holding nines all the time when i roll the dime trash.

[@corypayne32]

Also Pat Stay is wrong Head Ice isn't the best.

[@morallygray6527]

Phax

[@MethMaster666]

A Ward Dope. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@NathanSander777]

2-1 Award

[@thelocvst5664]

Franchise vs Jak Tripper would be a dope battle. I think the styles would mesh well.

[@austindennis6030]

"Halloween, Jahovas witness, I'm masked up at yo door knockin" damnnnn.

[@007VitaminD]

Daym both were nice, I honestly can't say who edged it.

[@RoboCunnilingus]

Franchise is the fucking truth.

[@RoboCunnilingus]

Franchise 3-0, maybe a 2-1.

[@imfromnewarknigga1946]

son is definitely fire

[@imfromnewarknigga1946]

+Lord Leo Yea I had A ward 2-1 but if franchise can better his craft he can grow into kotd's tay roc he got FIRE jus gotta stop SLOW down and better his craft

[@ReeferRolling420]

Am I the only one to skip franchises rounds

[@trini4040]

This shit was fire...nothing more to add..both dudes had good barz..

[@jason3714]

This battle deserves to be on the main Channel! Good lookin out.... #teamganik
