Name
Pikahsso’s moniker is difficult to spell, but P.I.C.A.S.So’s has way too many periods in it--so it takes forever to type. Plus, Pikahsso has about 700 variations on his name, including Piktionary, Pikahssablanca, First Round Draft Pik and Osshakip. On the other hand, he doesn’t have a backronym like Pursuing In Christ And Seeking SOuls.
We pick: Pik

Sample Rhyme
In “Faleyuh,” Pikahsso rhymes: “Is it the truth about my life you know? / Do you wanna hear it, well here it goes / My lights are overdue and I know that it’s true / that I ain’t really about shhh / You sure you wanna hear some more?”
In his song "Shine," P.I.C.A.S.so raps: “Everything will be aight / Just keep believing and putting your trust in Jesus Christ / It’s a dark world and God said that we the light / So be the light and just shine, baby, just shine, baby.”
We pick: Pik. No disrespect to J.C., but Pik’s painfully honest self-examination is far more interesting than sentiment lifted off a card from the “Religious” section of the Hallmark stand.

Production
Pikahsso’s main beat composer, PPT partner Picnic--who’s worked with Devin The Dude--has an instantly recognizable sound that mixes funk, disco, '80s pop and more. P.I.C.A.S.so, meanwhile, is selling his old beats for $25 apiece. His track “Dance Off” has some pretty cool percussion, but otherwise what we’ve heard isn’t nearly as memorable.
We pic: Pik. Again.

So it looks like Pikahsso gets to keep the name. Maybe the now-anonymous gospel rapper from the V.A. can come up with a backronym for M.O.N.E.T. --Jesse Hughey
