Recap: When the bars match the energy…well, let’s just call it a goodnight. A less ‘over-the-head’, but still potent with the punches and wordplay Nu Jerzey Twork gives the full business to a solid, but slightly hiccup-prone JC in this 3-round battle from Smack Volume 1. After JC edges the first round with a little more consistent and (“Bitch, being in the ‘hood don’t cover them lines, I’m a repeat that: being in the hood don’t cover them lines!”) witty pedigree, Twork steps it up, using steely name flips, gritty punchlines and fierce (“I’ll wet up every dry spot you been controlling with your pace, always chasing Lux, well now you run to something loaded in ya face!”) performance bars to edge both rounds 2 and 3. Altogether, a more polished and thorough palette than his somewhat redundant-with-the-themes opponent that also laid waste to those who might’ve thought Twork had reached already his peak, much less battles too often.
Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Fuck a glove, it’s enough rubber on the handle when I’m palming the grip Tommy, the drum’ll peel like j’aime belle ta’, pardon the French!”
