a full grasp of my journey and the improvement I have made in my craft. Novie Blendz: Yes sir, that’s a fact. There is still a lot of room to continue to grow. Nuff Said: Always — for any battler. I do a lot of other things as well, so battling is just a part of me and I put a lot of time into it. Novie Blendz: What battle have you had thus far where you felt that you absolutely stepped your pen game up and went in with your performance? Nuff Said: That’s tough. I would say me versus Billie Dutchess, as far as bars. As far as performance and bars, I would have to say me versus Greedy Grimes or me versus Born. Novie Blendz: What’s one battle that you’ve had that you felt you could’ve done better? Nuff Said: Me versus Homi; but I’m never complacent.

Nuff Said: That was different, since it was over the phone. It was cool though. BattleScene.net Novie Blendz: Honestly, battling either of them would be a good look.
