Uno addressed his creativity in the battle, as well as his brief choke, and how he was able to recover from it and finish strong due to his lengthy experience in the sport of Battle Rap. Despite being in the current PG roster, Uno doesn't view himself as a PG rapper and thinks that his years of experience battling in front of large crowds all over the world will set him apart from the rest of the rising talents on the Smack/URL brand.

He also spoke on the rise of Battle Rappers coming from the South, and how he will continue to work as hard as possible to put on great performances in the future.
