So the full first round of UM3
Cortez vs O'fficial
Swamp vs Jerry Wess
Riggz vs Geechi Gotti
Jakkboy Maine vs. T-Top
Serius Jones vs. Rum Nitty
Drugz vs. Yoshi
Swave Sevah vs Casey Jay
Nu Jerzey Twork vs Prep

This might be the bracket going forward, so Geechi and Top should be on the same side of the bracket is nuts, and Twork vs Rum is also on the same side of the bracket (different side than geechi and top)

How all the top names dodge each other in 1st round is beyond me

This is interesting as hell. Are these battles still being judged by actual judgers or caffiene chat?

I don't think it matters about his age, all the guys succeeding in his lane are a good 2-5 years older than him (Griselda, Ransom, Roc Marci, 38 Spesh, RJ Payne, etc. Just lyrical rap) . There's a strong market for 35+ rap now, that wasn't necessarily there before. I think he's on the right trajectory. I doubt he'll ever blow up like mainstream, his music isn't really made for mass consumption, but he can make a good living off rap.

Lux is so frustrating

The raps are there, but until he raises the level of his beat selection consistently, he’s not going to achieve the success of the guys you mentioned.

He has a cult of hungry fans who are just waiting for a really dope project.

Agreed. He just needs 1. I thought the Cambatta project was dope, but he's not a big enough name, and it not being on any platforms hurt.

There's so many producers that would give him beats for free, I don't get why he won't lock in with a few of them.
