CHESS GOES IN ON A. WARD THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW & KEEPS IT REAL ON TSU SURF RETURN

Chess pulled up in the Bronx for a full HipHopIsReal interview with Knowledge The God and Rude Reid, and he did not hold back. In this full interview, Chess completely spazzes on the A. Ward comparisons, responds to fans calling him the underdog, breaks down why he feels his resume and impact are being disrespected, and explains why A. Ward has to prove himself on the biggest stage. Chess talks about his history in battle rap, his classic battles, URL impact, upcoming matchups, and why he feels fans are forgetting the work he already put in. Chess also keeps it real on Tsu Surf’s return, speaking on what Surf means to the culture while making it clear that family and real life come before battle rap. He also touches on Drugs, Charron, Clean Paper, ghostwriting in battle rap, legacy, respect, and why he feels he is entering a different mode this year. This conversation is presented for reporting, commentary, and cultural documentation within the battle rap community.
