Good vibes, strong bonds and a lot of want to win, as well a recent popularity boost to both crews – that have impressed in 2020 – make this the most unpredictable battle in this first round, pitying two fan favorites.
On my end it’s team Fling Posse however, either result would be a win as these are my favorite crews in the Hypnosis Mic.
