Novie Blendz: That’s great, I mean at one point I had no idea, that the Westcoast got it poppin on the battle scene until I discovered both Grindtime and AHAT. I mean Im from New York, so I ve always been familiar with the Eastcoast. Danny Myers: I can Hear that New York in your voice (lol).But yeah the West Coast wasn’t really known for battle leagues until Grindtime and AHAT, but now its really getting poppin out here. The West man we out here! Novie Blendz: Now with your 1st opponent when you came back, how do you think you did? Danny Myers: My 1st opponent back you know was Loui V, and I pretty much beat him up, it was 3 nothing, it was easy work. After that I had ended up battling two guys in the same night, and I beat them up too. Then my next opponent after that was John John Da Don, because they felt that they had to get somebody for me you know(lol).I mean was killing dudes, and I killed two dudes within an hr so they was like “Okay We gotta him some tougher competition”, so they set up the battle between me and JJDD. Novie Blendz: That was a good battle too, but I wish more battlers would face off with someone who is nice with it too. What I mean by that is, it seems that some people become complacent and end up battling the same people. For me as a fan I want to see someone step it up and battle someone that’s nice 47 with it. Which brings me to my next question, who is next on your radar? Danny Myers: Well I have a lot of scheduled battles coming up; Mr. Millz, Bossman Beevz, Im on the Guerilla warfare card on dec 14th, I have JC & Chilla Jones coming up, then I’m going to be battling on king of the dot right after that so I got a nice little line up with some tough ass dudes. I love it though, It makes me want to step it up each and every time. I’m also hoping to battle at WD5 (World Domination5), and SM4 (Summer Madness 4), and I’d like to take on Rex or Calico, but mostly Rex. As far as my writing there is no complacency for me, I can’t slip up not one round, not one bar, against one of those guys you know. It’s a real challenge and a lot of pressure on me to just bring it. Again that’s why I do this I love the challenge of it. Novie Blendz: That’s awesome, and my next question for you is how do you feel about your growth as a battler after each opponent? Do you feel like that type of growth is important? Danny Myers: It’s definitely important, because as a battler were all not perfect. As nice as someone is they will have some things that they need to work on. It may be their deliver, the control of their breathing, their penmanship, their crowd control etc. I mean there are different things that go into it, so I just try to work on everything all around. I have definitely noticed my growth in each battle, I feel more comfortable in the ring with everything and I like it so I have definitely have grown as a battler. Novie Blendz: What would you say has been your most intense battle so far? Danny Myers: I would say my battle with D89 Gunna from dope 16 battle league. That was probably my toughest battle. Also the battle between me and Rum Nitty, that will be out in December. Not only was that battle with me and Rum Nitty one of my toughest, it was also one of the funnest battles too. Novie Blendz: Why were those two, particularly your toughest battles? Danny Myers: Well these were guys that were on point lyrically, like they did not come to play with me. They were trying to kill me, so it was tough. I felt like they matched me with my bars (not quite, like my bars lol) but they were definitely up there. I mean I still don’t feel like I’ve been out barred yet! Not in any battle, not by nobody, and that’s not to sound cocky or anything but I just honestly feel like I haven’t been out barred yet. I don’t plan on it anytime soon either. Novie Blendz: Okay, Now I watched your battle with Riggz, how do you feel about him as an opponent? How do you think you did in that battle? Danny Myers: That battle was fun as hell! Prior to me battling Rum Nitty, that battle was the funniest battle I’ve had. It was a memorable moment, and I definitely like Riggz he’s my homeboy. So yeah it was a great battle.
