Score Card Reactions : ChocCity Cypher - Blaqbonez, AQ, Loose Kaynon, Ice Prince, Jesse Jagz, MI 

M.I. will assemble the names of everyone in the industry in a line of RAP and still make it sound like a bar. M.I is special

The delivery patterns is why Mi can never get old in this game 😂 he always reborn himself 🔥❤️💯

MI was flawless. You’re gonna need translations “R.I.P Mo Bad, well come back ola dips! I squat for road like hmm make I do this shit for the STREETS!!!!” That line is too 🔥

The double/triple entendre from Q on the "Rose from the concrete in September I shed a few tears" is mad. He's got an album "Rose", also lost his mum, Rose, last year. He used the layering of his past albums to build up to this particular line. Then talking about Noble gas, unstable and periodic table. A-Q is just too good. I have no words for M. I and Jags; they're gods already. Loose came hot with that cadence and bragadocio I love him for. Blaq already is a force. Ice reminded us that he's a boss. My MVP goes to @thisisAQ. I just can't get enough of his verse

I think one limitation is you need to constantly be synced in with the Nigerian space, language and/or slangs, and be abreast of what goes on daily to fully understand and appreciate M.I's deliveries on these cyphers. His intro alone would knock you out if you did. He notoriously weaves into his deliveries the daily events that occur in Nigeria, Africa, and even world events. He is kinda a rapper and news reporter in his verses. This is what to me, places him a notch above the others and always keeps me looking forward to his part.

M.I is the the best rapper after more than 20 years in the game, much respect king 👑 M

I think MI's bars used a lot of local parlance, so it resonates with Nigerians more (and they are hard bars). Loose outdid himself in this one. AQ went as hard as we would expect. ❤

Blaq came with the Gen Z vibes I love it, just like u said he showed how easy it is for him. I loved the delivery 🔥❤️

MI rhyme schemes, accent, voice is just fire. The whole team came through witit

AQ is super intellect. You can hear from his barz that he was an intelligent student while in school.

Jesse jaqz is the most poetic lyricist we have in this country..his delivery too🤯

JesseJagz is way tooo poetic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️💯

MI no. 1 and AQ 2 (could easily be no. 1 too) Jesse Jagz 3 Blaqbones 4 Loose 5 Abuchi (CC CEO) 6 Jace Kim (producer) 7 Ice prince 8 🏃‍♂️

You have to be Nigerian or African to completely get M.I. You will likely loose most of his bars or not get the Perspective if you are not. That "Rest in Peace Mohbad and Welcome back Oladips" alone is a very interesting and controversial line if you get it 😂. Mi is goated.

Some football bars in AQ's verse. Loose Kaynon came with the boss talk. Jagz referenced his years producing his songs and many of CC's hit songs. Loose Kaynon is definitely the VIP.

Bro, you made me watch a whole 41 minutes of a reaction video. Great work Steve.

This right here is business for chocolate city. It's the new CC guys vs the old goons 3on3 but M.I can never be dethroned, He makes rap so relatable

I was waiting for this reaction like an addict waiting for a jab of dope ..... They were all dope but what M, Loose, Blaq and AQ did on this cypher is insane. M is a Boss and incorporates a lot of trending stuff in every cypher and he does it effortlessly 🫡🫡 salute.

Loose is angry!!!!! He went crazy on this 😂🔥🔥🔥❤️💯

AQ always takes it too serious 🔥😁 what a guy bars after bars he is a definition of total hiphop

They all nailed it ❤❤ but personally, MI gets my MVP, followed by Loose Kaynon, AQ, Blaqbones, Jesse Jags and Ice Prince 🎉🎉🎉

Swimming with the sharks 🦈, I don't know how the sardine taste....... Ice prince 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Too many MI lines flew over your head, MI is my MVP!

Trust me I have been waiting for this more than my breakfast this morning😂😂😂 .miss u Steve❤

Nasty c named his top 5 listing MI in it didn’t know much about AQ but meant to list AQ that’s the reference there from AQ. Mi is always so relatable it’s happenings in the Country. Jagz was lit and angry on this one taking it off from the direct attack from Vector with a Subliminal reminding him his been around and producing. Loose got loose with his Bars in response to comments from a rapper in the last cypher claiming his was bodied that subliminal that he can’t see no bodies was fired as dope. Ice is always ice.

Undisputably, this is our channel. Best reactions are dope. What distinguishes MI is his Nigerian identity. Hes the realest OG. He has done so much for Nigerian rap music. Hes more relatable. He makes rap easy. Jags is the master of flows, rhymes and depth. AQ is very intelligent. Ice has a captivating rap voice and swag, the real OG. Loose always on his boss talk. Blaq as always is audacious and very versatile. Choc City is the home of hip hop. Nigerians are great. Home of rap in Africa even though Afrobeats has taken the game in the minds of Nigerian music lovers ❤

bringing Rappers you blacklisted together on a cypher is really dangerous but like they said it’s standing on Business. 👏

MVP on this? You want my bias? MI Abaga came correct. Take him out, I'll give Loose Kaynon, like you pointed out, his opening bars were cut from a different cloth. Blaq came with the Gen Z vibe and he still didn't miss. AQ spazzed NGL, bar for bar, I'd give him. His intro outlined his projects: Golden, God's Engineering 1&2 and told us 3 is coming, Rose and Blessed as well. The City Boy scheme is a double for Nigeria's president, he rose from bag boy (accountant) to be at the helm of affairs. The Phil Foden bar, ended it with 'that's Pep talk' (I know you're not a big soccer guy, so I needed to point that) Jagz came correct but knowing him, he wasn't at his best. M started with rest in peace Mohbad (a young cat who died last year with a lot of controversy surrounding his death) and welcome back Oladips (another cat who was announced death just before his project dropped which we heard could've allegedly been a stunt to push the project) so, welcome back is the right way to welcome him back 🤣🤣🤣. Adam of the block is a basketball reference I know will fly over almost everyone's head, Mutombo is the block goat of basketball (likkle Google search can do more justice to that) As a good brand Ambassador, he did the Glenfiddich bar. M rapped about being The Guy also in the business table as he's delved into the Tech industry which doubles as the SDC scheme. He mentioned Ghost, Tec, Show, Camp and Them, a clever SDC scheme/bar. It's debatable though but M did it for me, I guess it's high time Nigerians stop underestimating Loose, he's always been like that. Check out his last project, Survivor's Remorse

Rest in peace Mohbad, Welcome back Oladips 😂😂 What an entrance!!

I’m not a loose Kaynon fan, but it’s a 9min cypher, you gotta go straight to the point, not to bore us. And he did that, he meant every word and went straight to it, not even talking about bars. If Ice finished how he started, would have been the MVP, but for now Loose went crazy.

Nigerians are too talented brain 🧠, my head smokes while listening to this lyrical downpour fellas.

AQ is DOPE! YSL = Yves Saint Laurent AQ turned YSL to "Young Soldier of the Lord" Walk'n up to me hands open like Jude Bellingham (goal celebration) Jesse Jagz reminded us he's still an OLD CAT in the hip pop world. He's the foundation, very poetic and understood the assignment

Loose from start to finished maintained that energy! Man came serious and pulled up well. I like Ice-Prince intro, his bars sound real rap shit but just short like Steve pointed out. Blac came easy and flexing. Jagz flow and lyricism always does it for him.. not feeble word 🔥. M.I always dropping gems and sticking to more local bars that sticks out! They all 🔥 welcome back Steve! Let’s go! #GSgang

You are right that's the edge M and Blaq has, they have never approached any two Cypher the same way

this is how you know i’ve been rolling with steve a little too much; i tweeted the same thing about blaq rocking the beat, quite creative.

AQ with the Chemistry and football barz... 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Blaqbones with the steez!!! Loose is a Boss!!!!

Immediately I got the notification I abandoned what I was doing, let's hear from Steve😂😂

These guys gave me a birthday gift. M.I is too good, same a jazzy, they all good honestly

I like BlaqBone's verse... Ice Prince was dope, dope enough for me to feel his verse was too short. Jesse jagz just killed it. AQ was cerebral. MI was MI with nothing to prove. And Loose Kaynon was also really good

Steve's reactions should be in the museum!!!!!!!!!

Iceprince voice is his god power 😂🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️

Mi, AQ, loose kaynon, Jesse jags, blaqbonez and ice prince in that order for me. This is great for the 9ja hip hop scene and thank you Steve for your unbiased reactions ❤️

You all missed the Folding(Foden) and pep talk bar.

Feels good hear these A+ rappers all together again.. 💪 💪

Ice Prince does this almost every time. He starts well, and when it seems like he's changing gears, that's the end. The most painful was that track he featured AKA. 🤦‍♂️ Nobody does Boss bars better than Loose. Jesse Jagz gave me goose bumps because his brag was about his image, which is untainted. That wordplay M.I did with Ghost, Tech & Showdem was cool 😅. M.I is the greatest.

Nasty c came to Nigeria, he listed his top 5 Nigerian rappers, that's what AQ is referring to... As he mostly named rappers that are popping at the moment

When I feel like folding (Foden), I hold my composure, thats's pep (Pep Guardiola) talk - AQ Best verses ranked, my opinion Loose - metaphors overload, flex talk, he was too comfortable AQ - He came at this like a preacher, speaking gospel MI - OG talk Jagz - rhymes, rhymes, rhymes Ice - simple bars, clear deliver, same Ice, acknowledged the theme and the team. Salute. Blaq - There's a reason he went first. Nuff said.

A-Q and Blaqbones thoroughly dominated this one!!

You missed AQs Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden Bars. Elite European Football Bars 🔥🔥🔥

M is my MVP Shit for the street line is fire. Men dey (Mende) line is fire. SDC scheme is fire. My spirits pure. Getting better as I mature like some whiskey in a Glen case is fire. There's just too much.

Bro, you are so tapped in that you make some of us natives look like jokes. WOW!!!

I heard a lot dope barz and rhyme schemes on this jawn.. however, i feel y’all missed when M.I said “you too weak (two weeks) for this work, you be like 10 days” so 5 days make up working days in a week. Two weeks of work days is 10 days. That was fire! Maybe I’m reaching tho 😂😂

AQ said hes got meetings with investors and we never really see him much after his lines😂.. Be like sey he go meeting true true

Having the best lyricists on the same joint for the first time ever 🔥🔥🔥... A-Q and JESSE JAGZ?????..... Yooo!!!!😮😮😮

Mi killed it....the delivery and wordplay 🔥🔥 Aq nailed it with facts ,Loose went hard on this Ice and Jesse went all in This is hip-hop

Q was my MVP (also cuz I luv him lol) the wordplay with his Albums/Music; Golden, God's Engineering, Rose and Blessed Forever to talk about hip hop history was sleek. the play on Choc City and him being a City Boy (the president of Nigeria has city boy as an alias too) was also smooth. Q wins for me but dope verses all round

Loose almost catch it up, but M.I is my MVP. His Baz's was technically pure and spread❤🤯💥💯

M.I is always reinventing himself...the Nigerian slangs and double entendres are crazyyyy... I wan craze with that "Like Maryland and Odumodu, Men dey!! (mende)

Please God, keep blessing steve. I just saw this cypher on tiktok and wished for a reaction. Didn't know you already did

"You said seeing is believing, do you see the holy ghost" Mi😂

Blaqbones is too versatile... He's really good with what he does.

I've never been this confused as to the best in a song. Jeez! These guys were all good. Wish Ice's verse was as long as the other's though. He has a certain force in his voice and his swag is second to none; only Phyno comes close in that regard. Who caught the bars about footballers - Bellingham, Foden & Pep talk? These guys ate this shit fr!

loved those new flow pockets blaq and MI had

Here's why Ice prince line was short...He has said it before that he's not really into cyphers and freestyles. M.I first line was RIP to Mohbad a reference to the artiste that died last year. Welcome back Oladips a reference to another that was announced dead only to return days after...Next line was a reference to open defecation in the street. For me the order is: AQ MI Loose Kanyon Jesse Jagz Ice Prince Blaqbones

I miss the days where reaction videos meant breaking down hard bars and asking for help on the ones that went over your head. I’ve been searching for reactions on this that broke down the bars. Ps. I’m biased about MI, Bonez grew on me but the boy is 🔥

Did y'all catch that SDC play? OMG! The way he tied Ghost with Tech(Tec) while still making a lot of sense. God Father shid. MI is a God

hahahahahahaha my boy done did it! 🙃🙃🙃 2024 is about to blow off the hinges, #gsgang leeeet's go! 🥂 Yo! Steve, go get some popcorn, I am about to go in on this one, bro... 😂🙌 I almost chopped off your head for this one. I was beaming the beacon all over the atlas on twitter in search of you, and hoping the general will see the light and recognize that the troop got one. You came through eventually... you came through, I give you that, so leeet's go! Lest I forget, happy new year to everyone in the #gsgang community.🌋🌋 I wish you all the best in the new year and beyond, and more importantly the best of health and family time. Bless! 🙏 Yo! where do I start from, uhn? I mean, I did not see this one coming to be honest, and that's how you get off the starting blocks in a new year. Good one from Choc City, those guys down there do know how to make an appearance pop. I have always held 'em high when it comes to the ability to read the room, and know when the culture is starving and what it should be fed. 💯 HipHop is 50, Choc City is 20. It was a perfect time to do this. Look, more perfectly is the fact that there's been polarized conversations out there about the relationship between the boys, but I knew that somehow, the love between 'em all would conquer any temporary agro. I mean A-Q alluded to that in one of his recent tracks, right? And this cypher embodied that. Case closed on that chapter, if you ask me. Whoever goes on to raise dust regarding that is just chasing clouts. Quick Remarks: 1. I will jump on a hundred Dollar bet with anyone that Blaqbonez was not 100%. Clearly, he sounded sick. I mean, January in Nigeria is when you come down with the flu, because the air is dry and dusty as a result of the harmattan that blows south from the Sahel Savanna, a hot and semi-arid climate zone in the northern part of the country. 2. Recently, MI and Blaq have been experimenting with this new flow, rhyme pattern, and cadence. We got a bit of that in "6 AM in Accra" by MI, and Blaq has been hinting on that for a minute now. 3. Ice Prince is not really known for going more than 16 bars a lot. So, welcome to my corner. I always want more from him every time I hear him. It feels like he gives you a taste of what he is all about, but feeds you in piecemeal portions 😂😂😂 Know what I mean? But he is good though. Simple! Yo bro, you slept on a few bars, and I am not calling you out for that, bro. 😂😂😂 That was largely due to the fact that, of course, there are some Nigerian local parlances, recent events in the industry, and names of places, that I don't expect you to be on top of like 100%. 1. There is a place in Lagos called Maryland, and let's just say the capital of Maryland is Mende which is pronounced (Men-day). Now, there is a new cat on the block called Odumodublvck who has a catchphrase that goes like "men dey" in pidgin English which in English could be interpreted as "we here!" or "there are men!". In his verse, MI said "like Maryland and Odumodu, Men dey", now I will leave you to connect the dots. 😂😂 2. Also, Mohbad is an Afrobeat artist in Nigeria who last year, lost his life in very strange circumstances. Another artist, Oladips, was reported dead but somehow news got out there subsequently that he was not dead, like he came back to life or something like that... that story is still not clear to me. But when MI starts his verse saying "RIP Mohabad, welcome back Oladips, you knew he was going to stay on that conscious lane of his to pass a message like he's always done in recent cyphers, and that is how you start a verse. Now to the order of MVP performance ..... roll the drums mofo!!! 😂😂😂 Look I loved all the verses. They all did different things that I liked for different reasons. I don't know if that makes sense, but fuck it! I agree with you, Ice Prince and MI stayed on the theme, but I mean that verse from Loose was 🔥 🔥 🔥 My MVP order 1. A-Q 2. Loose 3. Blaqbonez 4. Ice 5. Jesse Jagz ...and, I mean, I am not even gonna throw MI in it, because in recent cyphers, he has been about his mission to send a message from the pulpit he brings to these cyphers. So, I'm just gonna leave him in his lane, and by the way, he ate the cypher to the bones. That is how to close out a cypher. Take away? A-Q said "It's God's Engineering, I have got 2 here, 3 coming" I think that was a cue for us to anticipate God's Engineering 3 from A-Q, or even 3, 4, and 5, depending on what he meant by "3 coming". Whatever he meant, one thing is for sure, we have not seen the last of God's Engineering. There you have it fam. It's the #gsgang, baby ... Leeet's Go!!!

A-Q got some intellectual rhymes, must be a science student to understand him deep n I love what you do bro, thanks for always loving and identifying with the Nigeria HipHop

I will rank em' in this order on this rudimentary and historic cypher: 1. Kaynon 2. A-Q / Jesse Jagz 4. MI 5. Blaqbonez 6. Ice Prince But it's obvious A-Q and MI didn't feel the need to prove anything or bring their verses to the battle line. Best A-Q verses are on Monster cypher and LAMB 3.0 and that A-Q is really slippery and dangerous. Easily, A-Q and MI would run through that record with alot of casualties, but they chose to ease off. That's great!!! Jesse Jagz is very intelligent with his cadence, tricky "stop and go" and intricate weaves of information bombing when he raps, bringing the big boss vibes, plus he's seen it all. Producer extraordinaire!!! Loose Kaynon- this is his best work ever put out in a cypher. You can see his "Growth, Approach & Delivery" improved upon each time...and that's on G-A-D!!! If you get me. Lmao Blaqbonez is very diverse and brings in alot of cyberpunk swag. He's this generation's most prolific hiphop artiste. Not afraid to touch on as many topics that matter. Iceprince does not do enough and simply fell off after "Oleku". He started really okay and then dropped off. He's been this way since forever- his rhyme schemes are pretty predictable and he's refused to evolve- only thing going well for him is his drips. Nobody beats him when it comes to these outfits.

Way better than that thrash Hennessy cypher. This is really dope. Cant believe people were flaming me for not rocking with that Hennessy cypher filth.

Boooooooom!!!!!!! All i can say is that these dudes knows their onions,steve might not know them as much as we here and Africa knew them. But been that as it may hip hop is poetic real rap is poetry in nature and MI and jags is everything in one and not taking anything away from AQ,Loose and Ice they were all flawless.I doing all this alone for 50 of hip hop makes them all my MVP and one i love so much was more bars time Blaq,AQ and Loose got for we here knew what jags, ice and M.i can do when it comes to spiting bars. I really love it from Blaq start to M.i pieces explanatory finish.

Bonez came heavy with the swagged-up flow.

This is 🔥🔥 i love each and every of your reactions ❤

They nailed it all. Mad one🔥🔥

So no one caught AQ’s foden bar?🔥🔥🔥

Loose had the best delivery for me, M has the most message as expected n this his delivery was new and elderly dope, Jags was more technical, Blaq leaned into the beat and was intense, AQ was the most refined and his bars were wild.............. SHOUT OUT to Steve, much love. i knew you would love and analyse clinically as espected..... when i hear a cypher, next i need is to hear your reaction brother... much love

Missed you Steve, welcome back and happy New Year. Loose was my MVP followed by AQ, MI, Blaq, Jesse and Ice

You all are sleeping on AQ's verse... he said "And when i feel like folding, (Foden) i hold my composure thats Pep(Guardiola) talk

Blaq was lite. It's clear now, once you go full pop the real bars will leave you.

So happy i was waiting for your reaction as it dropped

Popped in here thinking “I hope Steve has reacted to this”… surprise surprise

MOHBAD, a Rapper died last year and caused a big stir in the country for weeks! OLA DIPS, also a Rapper, saw the Love that was shown MOHBAD on his demise and decided to fake his DEATH to promote his Album. So, RIP to MOHBAD, Welcome back Ola Dips

I wanted this reaction more than anything. I prefer to watch this that the actual video😀😀😀

M.I delivery pattern and pitch switching . is why his the GOAT

I loved your reaction to ice Prince flow😂😂😂

Respect to all of them men this is fire 🔥🔥 M I u have paid ur dues

Blaq did his thing and was amazing Aq come in and push it too. Loose the MVP

MI Abaga lines that maybe flew over your head "Check the roots of this shit, I'm the Kunta kinte"(a fictional character in the award winning novel "Roots") "check the Genesis I'm Adams,on the block I'm the new Dikembe(famous Congolese-American NBA basketball player) Intelligent RAP...word play is fire 🔥🔥 too easy for MI... LEGEND ✌️👑👏

Listening to Loose on Illegal Music 3 is proof that making MVP on a roster joint like this was only a matter of time

Welcome back Steve. Happy New Year Big Man. Let's get to business 😂

Emeka the greatest, every Choc boy delivered on point, even Loose Canon

I can’t believe this video is 40minutes long cos Steve wanted to flex on us that it is his channel😂 I enjoyed your reaction

Lose came in hard. Best verse 2024 and its just starting.

Loose was very rap-grammatik and ready for the exam day.That's what profs appreciates with an A+. Mi used lots of spanish in his verse thats why some folk dont comprende, but i do.

I love that AQ's line, "Coming to me with open arms like Jude Bellingham"😮❤🎉

Jesse, AQ, Loose, Ice, blaq, MI...in that particular order personally...but all were fire af, they all knew the assignment...

I was waiting for your reaction like my morning breakfast 😅😅😅

MI, loose, AQ, Jesse then Blaq. I don’t know what ice was doing here

Only a true fan of Naija rap can relate to MI abaga And that's why he is my MVP💯 Argue with your keyboard🙌

loose canon, aq, jags, m.i and blaq bones in that order....i never thought i'd place the two guys as last in any cypher but it just shows how far loose and aq grew over the years...personally,i do think blaqbones doesnt go hard anymore,its like he's comfy making money than making lines but thats what works for him
