Hope he gets out of that mid tier bracket. Very underrated battler that has put in work but for some reason doesnt get the credit he deserves.
He doesn't have a group of people that identify with him. I mean he's Black & Mexican and he's from Chicago. I'm from NYC where you have every mix of race/nationality possible, and I don't think I've ever met a Black & Mexican person. I'm sure some exist in Yonkers or something, but I've never met any. He's also from a place where Black & Spanish people don't really seem to fukk with each other like that, so he doesn't seem to get much Chicago support.
On top of that, he doesn't know how to promote himself. He doesn't have a look, he doesn't really promote or talk enough shyt, and he's not disrespectful enough to grab a big name battler's attention.
And lastly, he only has one gear when he's rapping. At this point even Danny Myers has tried switching the flow and delivery up once or twice. By the 3rd round, everything YK is saying starts to sound the same. He still manages to mop the floor with lesser opponents, but he needs a memorable performance against a memorable opponent.
