The Tabokoto dude was rated fairly well in all categories: from the 1st round to improvise.
Mahu, who chewed Daddy Ous in the semis, emerged first runner-up. He also silent many of his critics, despite the boos.Kellspek took 3rd position.
It was a long journey that started with 16 rappers, only four made it to the finals. It was a tough battle and got tougher when the titans clash in the final: Lil Omz and Mahu contested well for the prize but in the end there had to be a winner.
