[just my] natural personality in
my bars. That’s just one of my
catch phrases.
whole overall [battle] was good
work from me. It’s worth the
wait.
Vader: You’re coming into battle
rap with a very talented class of
rappers: Ah Di Boom, Prez Mafia,
Ty Law – all nice with the bars
and unique. What do you think
you bring to battle rap?
Vader: Who has been your
toughest opponent so far?
Mr. Wavy: Charisma, for the
ladies... you know I had to
swag it out. (Wavy laughs) Also
bars, performance and overall
showmanship.
Vader: Those battlers that I just
mentioned all battled on Ultimate
Freestyle Fridays. Why won’t we
see you on there?
Mr. Wavy: I would have to say,
Ah Di Boom.
Vader: And why is that?
Mr. Wavy: For one, that was my
first Proving Grounds battle,
so we were both trying to take
each other out. Second, both
performances were on point.
Third, it was a back-and-forth
fight. Fourth, that was both of
our shots to join the URL roster.
And five, for personal reasons. I
respect Ah Di Boom’s grind; so
don’t have the urge to kill any
one specific rapper.
Vader: Do you take any
suggestions from your fans?
Mr. Wavy: I consider some of
their opinions; depending how I
feel about the matchup, I’ll take
it into consideration.
Vader: When you battled Boogie
Flamez there was a lot of talking
back and forth between you two
on stage. What was going on in
that battle?
Mr. Wavy: There was a lot of
hype going into that battle, for
the simple fact that I was on
the come-up and he was a vet
in that league; a lot of people
“As far as the battle rap culture, I feel like it’s our last pure form of
hip-hop where you can get both entertainment and bars.” — Mr. Wavy
Mr. Wavy: I declined the
opportunity; at the time, I was
preparing for Prez Mafia and the
date that the UFF was originally
scheduled for was close to my
battle with him. Personally, I
didn’t feel like I would prepare
to the best of my best ability,
so I turned it down rather than
let my fans down on national
television.
it was just a clash, because he
brought out the best in me.
Mr. Wavy: Yes. He’s considered
to be one of them n***as, but he
can die.
were rooting for me. At the end
of the day, it wasn’t really about
anything; we were just both in
there trying to take each others’
heads off. So it was like I had
to fight in the ring with those
bars. Classic battle. But in all
actuality, after the battle we both
chatted up about the battle and
it was all love. Just intensity for
the camera.
Vader: Your battle with Prez Mafia
hasn’t hit the internet yet. What
can we expect from you?
Vader: Who’s on your hit list of
battle rappers?
Vader: Is there any female emcee
you would take on?
Mr. Wavy: I definitely don’t
really have a hit list. I just want
the battles that make sense for
me or who the fans want to see
me against, because I personally
Mr. Wavy: Nah. I’m good.
Shoutout to the female emcees,
but that’s not where my head is
at.
Mr. Wavy: In that battle,
I definitely did my thing.

Vader: Some viewers compare
you to Tsu Surf as far as your
performance. Would you ever
battle him?
