Official Battle Result

Clash Summary

SEVZ vs CHEEZEE opened the PenGame Season 4 quarter-finals on the Road to Wembley. The judges were Madey Fink, M1 On The Beat and Steve-O The Madman, and the tone was set early: clean slate, no cap rapping, no fighting, and the winner moving through to the semi-finals. CHEEZEE went first after SEVZ won the coin toss and sent him in.

CHEEZEE came with high energy, a strong crowd presence and a clear angle around SEVZ being young, inexperienced and still needing guidance. SEVZ answered with sharper punchlines, more tailored material and heavier name flips around cheese, food, age, family and CHEEZEE’s earlier battles.

The judges gave it to SEVZ. Madey Fink had SEVZ winning all three, while Steve-O and M1 both scored it 2-1 SEVZ. CHEEZEE was praised for energy, but SEVZ was judged as more prepared, more direct and more punch-heavy. SEVZ advanced to the semi-finals.

Performance Analysis

CHEEZEE

CHEEZEE’s strongest asset was energy. Every time he got rolling, he brought the room with him. His first round had a clear father-figure angle, talking to SEVZ like a younger battler who needed support, guidance and discipline. He also leaned heavily into mum angles, saying he could step into SEVZ’s family life and become the man of the house. His problem was structure. The judges felt rounds two and three leaned too much into mum jokes and repeated family disrespect, while SEVZ had more varied attacks. CHEEZEE’s third round also became messy because of beat/audio complaints and multiple restarts, even though the crowd still reacted to his energy.

Lyrical Themes: SEVZ being young, father-figure angle, school/work/life experience, mum jokes, SCAMZ advice angle, “go home” repetition, high-energy crowd performance.

SEVZ

SEVZ looked more quarter-final ready. He came with better researched, more tailored writing and repeatedly attacked CHEEZEE’s name, previous losses, relationship angles, age, family and credibility. He also used cheese-related wordplay without letting it become too basic. His second round was a major swing. The “cheese got grated” closer and the patty/ackee/Jamaican food section gave him clear reactions. His third round then sealed the battle for most judges, with a long cheese/milk/postman/farming scheme and a strong closer around CHEEZEE getting grilled.

Lyrical Themes: CHEEZEE name flips, food/cheese schemes, previous battle references, family/girl angles, class/age contrast, “people’s champion” framing, technical punchlines.

Indexed Bars & Breakdown

CHEEZEE

Age framing

"Normally I’d apply pressure, but that’s not a flex on a kid."

CHEEZEE opens by framing SEVZ as young and not fully grown into the battle. It is a smart way to reduce him before attacking.

Age framing

"Don’t worry bro, you’re safe, you’re not gonna get no licks."

He keeps the age angle going, saying SEVZ is too young to be treated like a real threat.

Age dynamic

"I don’t give a fuck if you’re younger G, I’m not gonna let you win."

CHEEZEE makes it clear that even if he sees SEVZ as younger, he is still not giving him sympathy.

Father/provider angle

"I know that your mum can’t afford it, so I don’t mind stepping in."

This starts the father/provider angle, where CHEEZEE tries to place himself above SEVZ’s household.

Family insult

"I could be the man in your house, cause I know that your dad ain’t about."

A direct family insult, making SEVZ sound like someone without a father figure.

Mentor role

"I can turn you from a boy to a man."

CHEEZEE leans fully into the mentor/father role, saying SEVZ still needs raising.

Group C callback

"I can help you with your schoolwork, like ORION said I go uni."

A callback to previous Group C angles. CHEEZEE flips criticism about him going university into something useful.

Responsibility flex

"Plus I work and got kids, like bro, my life is a movie."

He frames his adult responsibilities as proof he has lived more life than SEVZ.

Advice angle

"Please don’t listen to SCAMZ, cause he didn’t make it out of his group."

A strong advice angle. CHEEZEE says SEVZ should not be coached by someone who failed to progress.

Mum/father-role punch

"SEVZ should stop with the chat, cause I can take care of your mumsy."

Another mum/father-role punch, tying the personal angle back to his main round-one theme.

Father replacement

"In time you can call me dad."

This is the clearest version of the angle: CHEEZEE says he will replace SEVZ’s father figure.

How I Met Your Mother setup

"Let me tell you a story, it’s called how I met his mum."

CHEEZEE opens round two with a sitcom-style setup, using How I Met Your Mother framing for a mum angle.

Age dismissal

"I don’t want to go into detail, you’re a kid and it’s way too much."

He uses SEVZ’s age again, pretending to protect him from hearing details about his own mum.

Father comparison

"She said I’m better than your dad."

A direct father comparison, placing CHEEZEE above SEVZ’s actual family structure.

Mum angle

"When I tell you fuck your mum, it’s because I already am."

A crude but central punchline. It turns a standard battle insult into the claim that he is already involved.

Shock line

"Bro, your mum is a squirter."

Another shock line aimed at SEVZ’s mum. The judges later felt CHEEZEE leaned too heavily on this type of material.

Learner driver wordplay

"She took an L, you take an L, that means that you’re both just learners."

A cleaner wordplay moment. “L” becomes both a loss and a learner-driver symbol.

Scene rejection

"You tried to join the CDTS but you didn’t make it cause you’re worthless."

A scene/group reference, saying SEVZ tried to belong somewhere but was rejected.

Age talk

"Let me chat to the youth."

CHEEZEE opens round three by returning to the age angle and talking down to SEVZ.

Style critique

"See the way that you rap and you move, you’ve got a pattern that can be improved."

A constructive insult. CHEEZEE says SEVZ has potential, but his style is still undeveloped.

Circle attack

"Please don’t take no advice from SCAMZ, bro, he’s crapper than you."

He again attacks SEVZ’s circle/advisers, saying the people hyping him are not qualified.

Booking critique

"Why would you give me SEVZ when you know that a boy there’s useless?"

CHEEZEE questions the booking, saying SEVZ was not enough of a challenge.

Music-quality insult

"I listened to your music for five seconds then removed it."

A music-quality insult, saying SEVZ’s material was not worth finishing.

Muting joke

"You sound better unmuted."

A slight twist: he implies SEVZ’s music is so bad that silence or muting may be preferable, though the transcript wording is messy.

Direct experience comparison

"I was better than you at your age."

A direct experience/status bar, using age to claim superiority.

Go home dismissal

"If you can’t level with this, it’s okay, just go home."

A crowd-friendly closer. CHEEZEE turns the final section into a repeated dismissal.

Quarter-finals framing

"It’s the quarter-finals and one’s gotta go."

A strong final framing line. CHEEZEE reminds SEVZ that this is elimination territory.

SEVZ

Halloumi flip

"Nando’s for starters. CHEEZEE’s a bitch — halloumi."

SEVZ opens with a food/cheese setup, using halloumi as the first name-flip punch.

Tournament return threat

"Markz brought you back, I’ma stone you to death this time."

He references CHEEZEE being brought back into the tournament and says he will finish him properly.

No protection

"Ginger Jay can’t save him."

SEVZ says no host/platform figure can protect CHEEZEE from the loss.

Food/money/relationship line

"CHEEZEE, when the peas are low, I know your girl gives the mandem toppings."

A food/money/relationship line. “Peas” suggests money, while “toppings” keeps the pizza/food theme alive.

Food/relationship extension

"She can wipe that crust off her mouth."

A crude extension of the food/relationship angle.

Self-aware boundary

"Red light, I should stop it."

A quick self-aware line, as if SEVZ knows he is entering dangerous territory.

A clean name flip. CHEEZEE is framed as expired food that makes people ill.

Street-coded violence

"You better hide your chest, you don’t want to get murky in Nike Tech."

A clothing/violence image, making the punch feel current and street-coded.

People's champion

"People’s champion, I’m guarding my title."

SEVZ positions himself as the crowd favourite and the person defending his spot.

Lawnmower grass flip

"You couldn’t beat me, even with a lawnmower."

A “grass/cut” style bar, implying CHEEZEE still could not cut him down.

Jewellery/ice flip

"If you got ice, like a lolly you’ll get licked."

A jewellery/ice/lolly flip. Steve-O picked up on this line in the judging.

Blockhead cheese punch

"This cheese block is a blockhead."

A direct name/intelligence punchline, saying CHEEZEE is stupid as well as soft.

Wallace and Gromit flip

"You never put CHEEZEE on a map, pay homage to Wallace and Gromit."

A strong British pop-culture flip. Wallace and Gromit are associated with cheese, so SEVZ says they did more for cheese than CHEEZEE has.

Disgust angle

"Nobody take you in; if they did, they vomit."

A status and disgust angle, saying CHEEZEE is unwanted and unpleasant.

Name attack

"Your name’s CHEEZEE, but between us who would actually pick?"

SEVZ opens round two by attacking the name again, asking who would actually choose CHEEZEE.

SMIL3Z callback

"You lost to SMIL3Z, but you never smiled to say cheese when you heard that."

A strong previous-battle reference. SEVZ links CHEEZEE losing to SMIL3Z with the phrase “say cheese.”

Served food flip

"Kill him with kindness, he’s gonna get served."

A food/service flip, continuing the scheme.

Extinction threat

"He’s on the brink of extinction and his lineage right here for a win."

A family/legacy line, saying CHEEZEE’s run ends here.

Life-choice angle

A life-choice angle, saying CHEEZEE should have taken a more stable path.

Kettle robbery flip

"If you come to the ends, you’re in hot water — my guys would rob your kettle."

A hot-water/kettle robbery flip. It is one of the cleaner punchlines in the round.

Cold performance flip

"Looks like cheese gone cold, but he ain’t cold."

A name/performance flip. SEVZ says CHEEZEE has cooled off but is not actually cold lyrically.

Nintendo persona switch

"He switches personas — Nintendo."

A gaming reference, saying CHEEZEE changes character or image like a console.

Bun culture flip

"You ain’t Jamaican, this cheese is bun."

A food/culture flip. “Bun” works as Jamaican food language and as an insult.

Patty reduction

"You’re nothing but a patty."

He continues the Jamaican food scheme, reducing CHEEZEE to food rather than a serious battler.

Jerk chicken flip

"You’d get jerked in front of your chick for peas."

A jerk/chicken/peas food scheme, while also making it a relationship humiliation angle.

Ackee food flip

"No way could you beat man’s ackee."

Another Jamaican food reference, keeping the scheme cohesive.

Gaming flip

"How the hell you gonna show my levels, and I’ma show you how to beat the game."

French Montana pop image

"French Montana’s bandanna cause it’s so forgettable."

A pop-culture image used to say CHEEZEE’s look or material does not stick.

Justin legal flip

"He thought he was gonna buss case against me — you’re Justin, not Jimmy."

A legal/name flip. Justin/Jimmy works as a punchline around “case” and identity.

Bested punch

"You can’t be the best, you just got bested."

A straightforward battle-status punch.

Cheese grated closer

"You can’t be great cause cheese got grated."

One of SEVZ’s best closers. A clean name-flip that turns CHEEZEE into grated cheese and makes the loss feel final.

Farming research

"I done research on CHEEZEE; it brought me back to a farm in Slough."

SEVZ opens the third with a research angle, tying CHEEZEE to farming, milk and location.

Dairy scheme setup

"They told me don’t milk it."

A strong setup for the dairy scheme. He knows the cheese/milk angle is obvious but uses it anyway.

Delivery double meaning

"Milkman versus a postman — we both can deliver."

A clean double meaning. Milkmen and postmen deliver, and SEVZ says he can deliver bars better than CHEEZEE.

Composure attack

"I’m not gonna bottle like this guy."

He keeps the milk scheme going while attacking CHEEZEE’s composure.

Orphan/taking in flip

"This guy’s whack, he must be an orphan, the way nobody’s taking him in."

A harsh but effective “taking in” flip. It means no one accepts his music or performance.

Bat baseball/violence

"I don’t play baseball but I’ll bat man — in other words, caving him in."

A bat/baseball/violence line, simple and direct.

Body continuation

"How does a man forget his mail when he’s fat, you can’t see below his pelvis?"

A crude body/postman continuation, saying CHEEZEE cannot even see what he should deliver.

Sarcastic gem

"You’re a gem, and I don’t mean jewellery."

An insult using “gem” sarcastically, saying CHEEZEE is strange or foolish rather than valuable.

Stage dominance

"The mic is mine, anytime I rhyme I’ll slide him."

A dominance bar. SEVZ says he controls the stage whenever he raps.

Cheese string name flip

"We can call that one cheese string."

A cheese-name flip connected to pulling/hanging imagery. Dark, but structurally on theme.

Babybel flip

"If your baby Bels me, know that a man’s getting round."

A Babybel cheese flip mixed with a relationship angle.

Cheese melt slang closer

"Girls don’t want to fuck with melts."

A strong slang/cheese closer. “Melt” means a soft fool and also melted cheese.

Grilled cheese closer

"I ain’t Cheyenne, but this cheese got grilled."

A final food/cooking punchline. SEVZ ends with the image of CHEEZEE being grilled.
