Recap: From The Battle Academy’s ‘Frenemies’ card. In what’s easily been her most prolific year on the battle rap stage, Jaz the Rapper visits Philly to give up-n-comer Shiest Raw a shot and let’s just say you might as well just give ‘Big Bag’ the WOTY crown now after this thoro demolishing. The Brooklyn vet using an aggressive gang of sizzling name flips, profound schemes, hard-hitting set-ups/punchlines and a couple of stellar freestyles in round 3 to handily get the 30 against an opponent who bar-wise was clearly overmatched. And while Jaz went home with an easy vic, some credit should go to Raw for not giving up and finishing her rounds (really wack move by Anwar, throwing in the towel like that during Sheist’s final round) despite experiencing what looked to be some severe leg cramps during the battle.
Verdict: Jaz The Rapper (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Jaz The Rapper – “Y’all think I won’t take her serious?, well I don’t care what y’all saying, James Harden…I came from Brooklyn to Philly and I’m not playing!”
