Real shyt i think he could learn a lot from DNA. I know people shyt on DNA and I too am not a huge fan but he's always ready and he can work through spots when the crowd isnt fukking with his material.

great suggestion. DNA I feel would be the GOAT battle rap mentor. He's professional, well liked, has connections and is consistent and understands the game really well. Look at the effect he had on Kshine. Kshin himself said that it's DNA that got him into the habit of having the preparation down pat

Twork needs to hit the mountains with Lux and Hollow

I feel like learning from Lux and Hollow would be like the old sports saying of great players are often not good teachers because the stuff they do is instinct and feel. Twork needs one of those "student of the game/I do it because of hip hop" battle rap dudes that have been in the game for a long time. Time with Hollow and Lux would help any battler but I think right now Twork would benefit more from one of the "fundamentals" guys.

if that makes any sense.

Mike P, Danny Myers (if he wasn't ducking him), Ave....

These guys are always 100% prepared. He could even reach out to Mickey Factz.

DNA sounds good but he said that he wasn't preparing ahead of time until the Mickey Factz battle.

I'm not so sure about DNA being a mentor for someone like Twork. It's low key like getting LeBron James to be your mentor as a basketball player (please don't confuse this as me equating DNA to LeBron on skill level lol). There's just so many intangible things about them that you can't really aspire to.

For example, a part of DNA's ability to always be "prepared" better than others is the fact he can freestyle on a level higher than anyone else, so even when he's not prepared, he's prepared. Twork just doesn't have that ability. It's better to learn from people that have your same or similar skill level/abilities.
