Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Mr. Mann

by

Recap: From Gates of the Garden, despite an elongated turn in this 1-rounder, a plethora of brash raps (and even a little wit here and there) from Mr. Mann makes for a solid effort. But way too many pedestrian bars and mundane pontificating from the Brooklyn battler coupled with Nu Jerzey Twork standing on ten toes throughout via a gang of sizzling name flips, flexing punchlines, piercing personals, stinging street darts, wily schemes and other boastful barbs gives Nu Jerooz an easy win.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “You think I showed up here for competition?, nigga read rooms, you up here rapping like you got clips for real, well Mr. Me Too!”

Nu Jersey Twork defeats Real Deal

by

Recap: As usual, an earnest effort from Real Deal, complete with plenty of righteous personals (esp. during a pretty dope round 3) and empathetic/solid punches that often hit and kept things competitive. But despite the steady comp from his opponent, in this 3-rounder from Street Talk Ent, it’s a gun bar blazing, gritty punching, street shit spazzing and personal-lit Nu Jerzey Twork (that ‘diamond tester’ sequence in the 3rd was also crazy) who lands more haymakers in each round to earn the 30.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “That shit you don’t know bro, all this shit this bitch popping, nigga talking about me stealing a purse…so the fuck what?, quick option!”

Viixen the Assassin defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

by

Recap: From Bags and Bodies, Viixen the Assassin and Nu Jerzey Twork go at it for 3 rounds with plenty of loud, competitive heat in both of the opening rounds, before they ran out of gas in the 3rd, but one moreso than the other. When she wasn’t promoting her OnlyFans account, a charged-up Viixen lit the stage up with a bunch of fiery schemes, gritty/brash punches, solid name flips, scintillating gun bars and scathing personals. On the other hand Twork came with a barrage of hard-hitting personals of his own that coupled with gang of fierce 1,2 punches and dope similes edged him round 1, before Viixen returned the favor in round 2 despite a dope rebuttal from NJT to start off his turn. Tied up going into round 3 Viixen calmed down just a bit, but still let off a plethora of blistering personals and hard punchlines in a turn that was otherwise pedestrian and beatable. However, not even halfway through his 3rd, Twork would get a case of Earl’s and tho he did try to freestyle for a bit, after a minute he’d give up, stop his round and take the L.

Verdict: Viixen The Assassin (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Viixen The Assassin – “I’m the opposite of Twork, I’m a stand-up bitch!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats T-Rex

by

Recap: T-Rex versus Nu Jerzey Twork for 3 rounds on URL/T-Top’s “No Cut” card, stays competitive and close throughout. A performance-lit Rex keeping it tried and true with a gang of boastful barbs, witty/hard-hitting punches and sturdy street talk, while Twork stood up to the Harlem vet with a bunch of fiery gun bars, gritty street darts of his own, solid name flips and fiending punchlines. Add to the mix a couple of spicy rebuttals by NJT to start his 2nd round and you’re left with the more condensed/substantive Rex edging round 1, before a slightly more haymaker-lit Twork edges rounds 2 and 3 for the win.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Nigga, we all can tell pain, the cops raided the crib we all had smell change [???], they came to clean house, like Cinderella, we was having a ball till 12 came!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Kyd Slade

by

Recap: In my opinion URL should’ve released these Redemption 4 battles one day after the next on their own and let them breath individually instead of dumping them out on one day. Nonetheless, a goodie here between Kyd Slade and Nu Jerzey Twork. The former making the drug game proud with boatload of hitting trap talk, while also scoring with a gang of filthy street bars and lofty gun lines. On the other hand a scintillating Twork rocked the crowd with a shitload of stinging personals, spitfire punchline/similes, witty barbs, fly wordplay and piercing gun bars/name flips. A fiery and competitive 3-rounder all the way through, it’s the more punch-heavy and haymaker-lit NJT who would take both of the opening rounds for the win, before an equally efficient on both sides 3rd would force a debatable there.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “If y’all think children are the future then I’m Russell Wilson!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats J2

by

Recap: “It gets gayer!” Nu Jerzey Twork wasn’t lying about that. As in this NOME 14 battle from URL against J2, a relentless barrage of witty gay puns/personals do most of the damage for 3 rounds, while a gang of stinging/graphic gun bars and rambunctious punchlines do the rest on his way to a 30 over an opponent who while able to deliver some very hard-hitting punches/gun lines here and there, still can’t perform at a consistent enough level to compete against the likes of top tiers like Twork.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “What would your grandmother say if she seen you right now?, she be like ‘Baby, you know you ain’t supposed to be with them naked men, you know the Lord the only man you supposed to be receiving and taking in!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Bigg K

by

Recap: From Hitman Holla’s Bags and Bodies league, taking advantage of a Bigg K not only battling the noisy crowd, but also equipped with a shitload of (for him, anyway) of basic raps, an emboldened Nu Jerzey Twork goes nuclear with a gang of rambunctious/hard-hitting punchlines, witty/piercing personals, stinging gun lines, fiery schemes, rich trap/street talk and searing performance bars for all 3 rounds (only the 3rd round was somewhat competitive) to handily earn a haymaker-lit 30 before leaving the venue and perhaps finding that guy in the glasses from the crowd who heckled him earlier.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “I seen my man’s take a head shot, I had to get his brain matter off me, my mama told me words will never hurt me but then I had to get his name tatted on me!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Black Aladdin

by

Recap: From Gates of the Garden, don’t know if it’ll ever get any easier than this for Nu Jerzey Twork. The former Goonie and NWX member effortlessly utilizing a boatload of blazing gun bars, solid name flips, mayhem-lit punchlines, some fiery rebuttals and just to prove how not pressed for comp he was, even allowing a 2-minute tag-in during his round 3 and still scoring a 30 over a gritty, but consistently subpar Black Aladdin.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Nigga’s really think I’m playing, but I’m not playing, i could show you better than I could tell you…that’s sign language!”

40 B.A.R.R.S. defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

by

Recap: From URL’s Summer Madness/Kings vs. Queens card, in a tale of relentless aggression and fierce competition, 40 B.A.R.R.S.’ fiery, steady and effervescent punch game helps her get the win here versus Nu Jerzey Twork. The Boston femcee’s mocking personals and potent wordplay also helping secure her victory in rounds 1 and 3 of this 3-round battle. All this despite 40 struggling with her flow and cutting her 2nd round short all the while withstanding a scintillating, witty, bullish and personal-drenched turn there by Twork that got him the round convincingly. However, just when you thought things had shifted back in Twork’s favor, 40 was able to get back on her round 1 grind and with another dope punchfest, handily take the deciding 3rd with the assistance of a lackadaisical showing from Nu Jerooz.

Verdict: 40 B.A.R.R.S. (W) 2-1

Favorite line: 40 B.A.R.R.S. – “It’s clear my peer got more experience in he street, I’m not looking for gunfight, but I’m outside squatting ready to squeeze on this fleece, it’s a drunk night, I’m pissed off!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Pass

by

Recap: Nu Jerzey Twork makes his debut on KOTD and it’s an impressive one. The former Goonie using a gang of spitfire similes, witty storytelling, boastful barbs, flexing punches and mocking personals to score a 30 on Pass., who while apparently replacing original opponent Thesaurus delivered a solid performance when it came to piercing punches and spicy name flips, overall couldn’t withstand NJT”s more haymaker-rich landscape.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “If you asked me about one Pass [past] battle I wouldn’t know the answer to it!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Clone

by

Recap: From Bullpen Battle League, even with a well-earned reputation for no-shows, chokes and bullish behavior outside the ring, never let it be said that Nu Jerzey Twork can’t still deliver a standout performance in the ring when he wants to. Nu Jerooz dialing it up with the bars and outside of a bit of fumblitis with his flow early on, going ham on opponent Clone with a fiery barrage of fire similes, graphic/mayhem-lit darts, gully punchlines, potent gun bars, witty personals (that featured a pretty solid imitation of his opp) and flexing gang talk to earn a 30 on the veteran Georgia rapper, who while competitive, versatile, gritty and aggressive throughout, couldn’t keep up with Twork’s hailstorm of haymakers.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Interrogation room?, I don’t know nothing but ‘My lawyer!’ and ‘I didn’t do it!’, I was swinging from building to building like Spider-Man…but tht’s my story and I’m sticking to it!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Sasse

by

Recap: It’s no secret: an on-point and focused Nu Jerzey Twork is an unbeatable foe. Take for example here in this 1-rounder from Manslaughter Battle League against a pretty solid and violence-themed effort by Sasse. Nu Jerooz still doesn’t break a sweat. The former Goonie using a variety of righteous darts, mocking personals, stifling gun bars, sporty schemes and gritty punches to score haymaker after haymaker and handily gain the win.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “This shit all a fraud, I’m trying to teach you about the pros and cons like the longest yard!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Swav

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from Houston Bar Code, Swav delivers one of his best performances, uplifting an already gritty street game with better efficiency to his punches, braggadocios raps, lofty personals and oft-potent trap/gang talk. Unfortunately for the Texan battler, his opponent Nu Jerzey Twork would do him one better. The former Goonie waiting out an elongated turn from his opp and getting right at it with a gang of fire set-up/punchlines, piercing similes, graphic mayhem, stinging gun bars, rich storytelling and boastful drug chatter that all combined ellicited enough hayakers for the win.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

T-Top defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

by

Recap: From URL’s Smack Volume 11 card, after failing to take advantage of a beatable round 1 from T-Top with a flat-out choke, the graphic and twisted mayhem unleashed from Nu Jerzey Twork scores with enough haymakers to edge round 2 and tie things up going into round 3. However, utilizing a boatload of righteous heat, sturdy set-up/punclines. fierce name flips and hardbody street raps, it’s the more efficient T-Top whe edges the 3rd for the win in a bout that may have been a little underwhelmimg what with two battlers being close friends outside the ring.

Verdict: T-Top (W) 2-1

Favorite line: T-Top – “Murda Mook, I’m a do you dirty in a small room and ya record gonna have a scratch on it!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Emerson Kennedy

by

Recap: A dope 3-rounder between Emerson Kennedy and Nu Jerzey Twork from the former’s Last Second Sea Battle League, sees Twork (who’s had an excellent 2023 that isn’t being talked about as much as it should be by the usual battle rap pundits) bring the heat with a boatload of mocking/witty/mean personals, raucous street lines, gritty punches and holier-than-thou gun bars. While EK kept things competitive with a fresh plate of rigid punchlines, some solid personals of his own, a fly round 3 rebuttal and some sneaky but captivating wordplay. But despite a valiant effort from EK, it’s the more haymaker-lit and efficient Jersey juggernaut who takes both of the opening rounds for the win before EK came back to take the 3rd and avoid the shutout.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Your mother taught you about the birds and the bees, you know all the words to N’Sync!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Murda Mook

by

Recap: From URL’s Homecoming 2 card, nonwithstanding surprisingly bringing out Brizz Rawsteen midway during his 3rd round in an ill-advised (considering the enigmatic Brizz hasn’t battle at all since we seen him and T-Top vs. Calicoe and Mook like 4 years ago) move that clearly had no effect on his opponent, Nu Jerzey Twork ends his 2023 with an impressive win against Murda Mook. The Jersey star using a versatile plate of crazy set-up/punchlines, some cold wordplay, ill street-themed raps, mocking personals, braggadocious darts and raucous gun bars/name flips to take both the 1st (that sublime ‘Young Dolph’ line was a nice precursor to what was coming) and 2nd rounds for the vic, before Mook (who was competitive and pretty solid throughout with a boatload of witty barbs, righteous punches, spicy schemes and piercing heat) came back with his best round of the match to salvage the 3rd and final round.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “They cut me from wide receiver, I just couldn’t get away from the corner!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Jaz The Rapper

by

Recap: From Last Second Sea, using a gang of stifling gun bars, salacious personals, rambunctious punchlines, rich storytelling and syrupy name flips, after getting out-punched by the more cerebral and mayhem-lit Jaz The Rapper in round 1, a slightly more condensed, original and steadier scoring Nu Jerzey Twork takes the 2nd and deciding 3rd round for the win in this combative/competitive battle.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: N Jerzey Twork – “Jaz The Rapper [spits], it’s a fucking scandal, punch the demon, knuckle sandwich, trying to get the rapper beat out of Jaz [Jazz] and that’s just a sample!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Jade

by

Recap: From Showtime Battle Arena, in what could certainly be deemed as a surprising matchup, Nu Jerzey Twork uses a boatload of mayhem-lit punches, gritty bars, mocking personals and raucous gun bars to earn a 30 over a mostly gritty/solid (until round 3 where she had a couple of hiccups) effort from Jade.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Your baby daddy left you and never came back, and I truly advised him, you see those big ass titties?, when he said he was going to the store to get some milk, you should’ve knew he was lying!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Blayd Montana

by

Recap: From The News Battle League, feasting off of some sinister name flips, beastmode punchlines and hard-hitting gun bars, even despite a hiccup or two when it came to maintaining his flow, Nu Jersey Twork still manages to beat back the mayhem-lit, but mostly pedestrian darts from Blayd Montana in this gritty 1-rounder.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Towrk (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – ”That nigga named Blayd Montana‘, alright I know that shit stupid, but if he can put a ‘y’ to his name I figure I could put an ‘n’ [end] to it!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Hollow Da Don

by

Recap: From URL’s Summer Madness 13, scoring with a wide variety of crispy/mocking personals, while also taking advantage of an opponent in Hollow Da Don who wasn’t nearly as hitting as we usually witness when it comes to his punch game (tho he did show flashes of that clever wit we’re used to seeing in rounds 1 and 3), a confident Nu Jerzey Twork also utilizes dope stage presense, a boatload of rambunctious punches, solid gun lines and captive, performance-lit bars to take rounds 1 and 3 (call the 2nd debatable thanks in part to a couple of fire rebuttals by Hollow) and earn the win.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Y’all talkin’, “He clean off of drugs”, this nigga fakin’, I been around him, three hours off lean you be scratchin’ your skin and pacin’, shit, I get itchy just bein’ around this addict (attic), it’s insulation!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Rizz

by

Recap: From Takeova Battle League, a 3-round matchup between up-n-comer Rizz and Nu Jerzey Twork goes Nu Jerooz’s way as Twork’s consistently spicy set-ups, spirited/reckless gun bars, flexing punchlines and steady calls for mayhem prove to be more than enough to 3-0 an opponent who while gritty throughout, just couldn’t usurp enough potentcy to his punchlines to keep up and compete.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Head shot, and that’s just for nice knowing you…say goodbye!”

Nu Jerzey Twork and Chef Trez [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: From URL’s ‘Outside 2’ card, a fire 3-rounder between Nu Jerzey Twork and Chef Trez features the latter utilizing a gang of rambunctious set-up/punchlines, stifling gun bars, witty/hard-hitting personals and righteous mayhem to make his mark. While the always-on-point Chef offered up a sizzling plate mixed with a boatload of piercing rebuttals, gritty (“Put a ratchet behind Twork, y’all know bitches like to dance with each other!”) punches, head-ringing gunplay and flexing name flips/wordplay to stay in the game. Close all the way though, a slightly more cohesive and less flow-challenged Trez would edge round 1 before an equally efficient punchfest from both sides would add up to a debatable 2nd round. The final 3rd round in a battle that never lacked for entertainment and crazy bars, would get edged by the slightly more haymaker-lit Twork thus making this one a debatable.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “You is a weirdo and a fucking fraud, wasn’t you just over there with RBE doing a bunch of cards?, he seen URL on Caffiene with celebrities & he said ‘What’s up with y’all?!‘”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Coffee Brown

by

Recap: Add a bunch of real-life sexual tension/innuendo’s/allegations to the mix and it’s a real goodie here between Coffee Brown and Nu Jerzey Twork in this 3-round URL ‘Kings vs. Queens 4’ battle. The two trading a gang of rambunctious punches, gritty street bars, hitting gun bars, dope set-ups and scintillating personals hat kept it close all the way. But while Coffee had a killer and witty 2nd round and a dope 3rd, it’s a lengthy first round that would cost her there as a more bar-efficient Twork landed more haymakers , while also taking advantage of his opponent’s redunancy with the set-ups/taunts. Then too, while Coffee’s middle round was crazy so too was Twork’s and with a couple of flashy rebuttals he’d edge round 2 for the win, before the slightly more punch-heavy Coffee took the final round with a bit of a assistance from Twork stopping his round a bit short.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “I’m a bury Coffee face in a pillow…I just had a flashback!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats OG Grizzly

by

Recap: From Bullpen Battle League, Nu Jerzey Twork reminds the crowd that there’s levels to this shit by using a steady barrage of raucous set-up/punchlines, hazardous gun bars, studious OG flips and rambunctious lyrical street raps to handily beat back a gritty, but mostly subpar effort from OG Grizzly in this one-sided 1-rounder.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “The real OGs used to tell me ‘Twork you ain’t gotta move how you moving’, but I’m in a traphouse, an unfurnished basement already showed me I had room for improvement!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats NXT

by

Recap: Been watching NXT for too long to think he was ever a wannabee Nu Jerzey Twork. Indeed, his loud, aggressive style is defintely his own. But doppelganger accusations aside, in this URL ‘Outside’ bout, as B. Magic said it’s all about who can rap better. And even without his signature ‘Strapped It’ call out, it’s Twork by a long shot. The big man continuously rocking the crowd with a shitload of dope/raucous punches, flexing name flips, bullish gun bars and steely personals over the course of 3 rounds to handily get the win over an opponent who despite some demonic/hitting punches/personals here and there, just couldn’t keep up when it came to bar efficiency while also melting under the scope of too many mediocre personals and Twork style jacking.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Put a pillow over NXT [next] get him ready for flight departure!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats O-Red

by

Recap: From URL’s Lite Work series, after fumbling his bars a bit and getting out-punched by a more potent O-Red in round 1, Nu Jerzey Twork steps it up and gets busier with a barrage of righteous mayhem, stinging name flips, spiteful punches/wordplay and with the help of an opponent who choked away his 2nd round and was prone to a few miscues in the deciding 3rd, earns the win.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “You fire, just no electricty…Amish place!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Real Sikh

by

Recap: Does it get any more exciting on a battle stage than a focused and prepared Nu Jerzey Twork? Probably not. Back on URL for the first time in quite awhile, a rambunctious and consistently lit Twork uses a barrage of fiery wordplay, hazardous set-ups/name flips, hard-hitting performance bars, mocking personals, stinging gun bars, plenty of mayhem and gritty/head-ringing punchlines to score more haymakers and hand out a Gentleman’s 30 and beat back a mostly solid, rebuttal spicy, witty at times, aggressive and gritty with the punches Real Sikh. For Twork (who also took some fierce shots at Smack in round 3) to remind everyone of what he brings to the table when he’s on his A-game on this ‘Civil War 3’ card, could make for a scary 2023.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Merciless, it’s petty killers that I’m working with, I charge 60, I give them 50, take my little paper off the top, it’s a Hershey Kiss!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Lu Castro (Rematch)

by

Recap: The battle rap stage hasn’t seen much of Nu Jerzey Twork in 2022. But anyone who witnesses this 3-round rematch against Lu Castro (on both battler’s home league: Showtime Battle Arena) will know right away that Twork still has what it takes to remain a top dog in the game. In this case Nu Jerooz using a steady stream of mocking personals, aggressive gun bars, fiery performance-lit darts and stifling punchlines over the course of 3 rounds to handily get the 30 on an opponent who while still able to light up the ring with rambunctious burners, continues to hurt himself when it comes to lack of preparation and chokes.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Ain’t no tussling with me G, I’m a up this little piece, he wild strong, head shot…nigga better have muscle memory!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Snake Eyez

by

Recap: There’s no denying that Midnight Madness (with a pugnacious assist from Twitter Spaces) has provided a competitive lift to battle rap and this much heralded matchup between Nu Jerzey Twork and Snake Eyez pushes the case as both battlers get busy throughout with a plethora of hard, aggressive rhymes and fiery personals laced with all sorts of steely command and mocking tones. A battle that also provided a rudimentary backdrop of Twork coming off a choke in his last bout and Hardcore belt champ Snake (who didn’t put the belt on the line here) participating in a brawl when we last saw him, stayed close throughout even while NJT rapped longer than his opponent for all 3 rounds. Still, after a crazy dope-on-both-sides, but debatable round 1 Twork’s more direct heaters, gang of gritty punchlines, wicked gun bars/schemes and head-ringing haymakers would edge him both of the latter rounds the win over over Snake’s often raucous, but not as steadily hitting punches.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Fuck you being locked up, you not tough, I don’t wanna hear no jail stories from the top bunk!”

Real Name Brandon defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

by

Recap: As yet another reminder on why you can’t take the URL App vote seriously, despite Nu Jerzey Twork choking away this 1-round Banned battle to Real Name Brandon, somehow he still had 2,000-plus votes stating that he won as I write this recap. SMD. That said (and no disrespect to RNB who with his consistently-lit punches, stinging personals and spiffy wordplay, was just straight fire here), with the dominating storyline coming out of this battle being NJT choking once again, who’s to blame (to the point that his current manager Anwar and ex-manager Rome DMV had a heated back-n-forth online about who managed Twork better) and what to do about it, here’s some unsolicited advice for Twork (who when it’s all said and done has no one to blame but himself for his continual mishaps): no more distractions leading up to battles. As in, within the 48 hours leading up to a battle, no going out, drinking or partying, no phone calls (unless of course, it’s an emergency) and no stupid Twitter beefs (in fact, stay off social media altogether). No anything. Nothing but staying on lockdown and practicing his rounds over and over again right up to the battle (and that even includes any pre-battle interviews) to the point that they’re so embedded in his head, that hopefully he’s never capable of choking again. Hey, if professional athletes can take away the distractions while they prepare for a big match, then so can Twork (esp. when you consider the amount of $$$ he’s being paid nowadays). And if his manager can’t make sure he has no distractions beforehand, then Twork should find himself a new one.

Verdict: Real Name Brandon (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Real Name Brandon – “You thought you was gonna get up here and push a fat nigga around?, I ain’t Norbes at all!”

Tsu Surf defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

by

Recap: A shortened (hey, don’t complain, at least he had one), but still punch-heavy 3rd round might be the only the blight on an all-around sterling performance from Tsu Surf here against an often-flow challenged Nu Jerzey Twork on URL’s Smack Volume 9 card. The Jersey vet, continuing to shine in 2021 after two superb showings versus John John Da Don and Calicoe, stayed consistent and in charge, using a variety of stunted lyrical wizardry, stinging name flips/schemes, action-packed mayhem, brazen set-ups/performance bars and fiery personals throughout (esp. in an epic round 2) his 3 rounds to 30 an opponent who might’ve came back too soon after his last rumble against Tay Roc a couple of months back. And while Twork, when he was focused (he did come with a crazy round 2), did entertain and score via a gang of hitting gun bars, wily personals and hardbody punches, overall his lack of preparation (probably not a good idea to get in petty Twitter beefs days before a big battle) which led to many a slip-up (esp. in round 1), would cost him again.

Verdict: Tsu Surf (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Tsu Surf – “I yell ‘Neighborhood!’ once then the locs around, it’ll look a concert outside if I scream ‘rolling loud!'”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats BC

by

Recap: Bodybags are rare, but in this 1-rounder from Houston Bar Code Nu Jerzey Twork is able to score one. Nu Jerooz using some filthy wordplay, rambunctious gun bars and piercing punchlines/name flips to easily beat back a totally subpar with the punches, slip-up prone and eventually choking BC, who while handily getting beat, still managed to come up with the funniest line of the night with that “I’ve never lost a battle in Texas” finisher.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “They don’t even know you in New Orleans…but the mag on ya [Magnolia]!”

Tay Roc defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

by

Recap: Highly anticipated, but long in the making, Tay Roc vs. Nu Jerzey Twork (with the vet Roc helping matters by putting plenty of pressure on Twork to come with 3 clean rounds) on URL lives up to the hype with the two battlers dishing a trio of rambunctious and competitive turns that kept the crowd lit. Twork, equipped with a gang of mocking/witty personals (esp. at Roc’s gf Lady Caution), fierce gun lines/name flips, some killer wordplay, brazen (esp. that 2nd round Mook/Party Arty line) punchlines, righteous darts and yes 3 ‘Strapped In”s, showed once again that when prepared, he’s one of the best in the game. On the other hand Roc, consistently scoring as usual with a barrage of stifling gun bars/name flips, graphic mayhem, some rigid personals and rapid, but head-shaking punches/4-bar set-ups, more than did his part to make sure this battle got its just due. However, with the more steadily hitting Roc clearly taking round 2, while a slightly more haymaker-lit Twork took round 3, a fire on both sides opening round comes down to a slightly more versatile and slightly more bar-heavy Roc edging the opener for the win.

Verdict: Tay Roc (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Tay Roc – “Clips is gon’ blaze, you’ll turn up dead, I’ll burn the lead, you my brother, I can’t watch you die, so I turn my head!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Loso

by

Recap: Against a Loso who seemed to be more interested in 3 rounds of righteous indignation that ironically became redundant at times (when he wasn’t kicking a bunch of subpar name flips) instead of more intricacy with his punches, versatility and performance stunting with his bars, in this URL/Civil War bout, Nu Jerzey Twork has a relatively easy time of it. The still young NJ vet using some stellar wordplay, raucous gun lines, rambunctious punches that landed well (esp. in the early rounds), hardbody religious-tinted personals that broke down his Christian opponent’s more charlatan-esque moments and not one, but two ‘Strapped In!’s screeds to cap a performance that reminded everyone that a motivated Twork can still rap with the best of them.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “I’ll take ya life if you try Twork, the Four Horsemen jump in, there’s hearses right at my mom church, this nigga A. Ward try me, I’ma grab the pipe and the .9 burst, you know how this Four Brother shit go…the white one die first!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats HNH Zeek

by

Recap: Guess times have changed a bit as it wasn’t too long ago that one could expect to get at least 4 to 5 minutes of bars from a battler in a 1-rounder. But seeing Nu Jerzey Twork (and recently his Jersey brethren Shotgun Suge) being able to reduce his time during a 1-rounder to 2 to 3 minutes (as he does here) can only be a testament to how much it means to a league’s gate to have him on their card. Still, even with a shortened turn, Twork’s stinging word association gutso, fiery name flips and raucous punches are enough to beat back a mayhem/gun bar-lit and overall solid turn from HNH Zeek, who btw easily rapped like 3 times longer than his opponent.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Get to clapping this guy, I’m a lay H down on his side…look like a capital I!”

Nu Jerzey Twork and Jakkboy Maine [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: A couple of Goonies for one round on 3 days prep for only 7 minutes? I’m all in. And despite the shortened time, it’s still a goodie. Jakkboy Maine with the performance-heavy/sing-song deliveries and fly (“When it tik tok, i’m turning Twork into a silhouette!”) lyricism, while Nu Jerzey Twork provided the rambunctious punches/personals and even brought out a belt to keep Jakk in line. That said, with an equal amount of haymakers, call this one a debatable.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “I’m the head of the Goonies, you know that’s fact, I’m the one that put Jakkboy on…like Kodak Black!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Bandit Montana

by


 

Recap: Main event 1-round battle from GOTG sees Bandit Montana and Nu Jerzey Twork trade a bunch of raucous street missives throughout their turns. But while Bandit kept it a bit entertaining too, pulling out a ‘old lady’ stunt double in lieu of Twork’s alleged robbery days, a lack of consistent heat from Montana and a gang of stifling name flips/gun bars by NJT ends up being the difference here.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “You ever seen the bullet would of a double-barrel?, it look like a Ferragamo belt!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Belair Beezy

by

Recap: Dope 1-rounder from Organyzed Cryme Battle League sees relative newcomer Belair Beezy impress with a gang of versatile punches/themes that for the most part were consistent with the heat. Yet, if you’re going to point out Nu Jerzey Twork’s habitual lack of effort in battles (as Beezy did), you gotta remember that a prepared Twork (as seen here) can take things to another level, which he does here with a condensed and aggressive barrage of filthy punchlines, sizzling name flips/wordplay and persistent mayhem to earn the win.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Back in the day I used to alter my report card so you know I know how to turn FN into Beez [B’s]!”

Casey Jay defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

by

Recap: Can’t recall anyone being this upset at winning a battle as we witnessed Casey Jay here. The Texas battled clearly peeved after her win–in the 1st round of the URL’s Ultimate Madness 3 tournament–which was helped in part by Nu Jerzey Twork choking away his 1st and 3rd round’s (Twork also slipped up a couple of times in round 2, but somehow made it through to complete his turn). But everyone’s seen this movie before with Twork and to judge Minnesota Luke’s point afterwards, he’ll still keep getting booked regardless. Still, while one can understand Casey wanting a better battle, moving on to the next round is all that matters

Verdict: Casey Jay (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Casey Jay – “Your style ain’t even your style, I’m so annoyed, but he swear he did everything first like Soulja Boy!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats B Griff

by

Recap: Nu Jerzey Twork can make it look so easy sometimes. And against a pretty dope and gritty showing from B Griff, the Jersey battler would need nothing short of a succinct performance to stand a chance, which he delivered via a gangly bunch of stinging punchlines, some high extra-grade wordplay, a little off-the-dome heat and stifling personals/gun bars during a condensed turn that gave him the win in this 1-rounder from GOTG.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “This .80 lift, I lift the chrome up, one shot pray to God that he a goner, only time will tell, he if he alive and well…like Jonah!”

Coy Gutta defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

by

Recap: Perhaps Nu Jerzey Twork should have a chat with Goodz one day about taking these small league 1-rounders more seriously. No doubt, NJT was able to keep it clean and drop a couple of room shakers amidst of other fiery punches. But one too many predictable/modest bars from Nu Jerooz to go along with 1st-timer Coy Gutta rapping his heart out for 10 minutes with a consistent boatload of gritty punchlines, some slick wordplay, performance-rich stunting and deliciously rampant heaters, gives the newcomer a huge upset and win.

Verdict: Coy Gutta (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Coy Gutta – “Red bag oo Six Flags, I am not amused, but since he think he Piru, I bet this P90 knock Blood out of Damu!”

Jey The Nitewing defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

by


Recap: After an 8-month absence from battle rap due to a car accident, Nu Jerzey Twork’s comeback to the scene, here on a Smack Volume 7 card against Jey The Nitewing, was for a most part, a feelgood performance. Indeed, armed with a gang of mocking personals, witty bars and blistering punches/schemes that really took flight during a spitfire 2nd round, despite getting edged in round 1 to his more versatile and punch-heavy opponent, Twork’s return after two rounds was a remarkable one, not to mention a nod to hard work and perseverance after all he’s been through outside the ring of late. However, in the deciding 3rd round, Nitewing’s consistent penchant for dry wit, rudimentary rhymes that hit their mark, tight angles, nifty wordplay and virtuous personals would be too much for even Twork, who midway through his round, seemed to misplace his bars before succumbing to freestyles and then, unfortunately ‘Jersey’-ing his way to a loss.

Verdict: Jey The Nitewing (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jey The Nitewing – “I’ll shoot you while you taking a shit…yeah, that’s funny when it’s thought about, it’s even when the same nigga’s is asking me to stall them out!”

Swamp defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

by

Recap: Long-awaited, much-hyped battle that’s even more enticing when you’ve paying enough attention long enough to know that these two guys, Swamp and Nu Jerzey Twork, really don’t like each other. Too bad for fans tho as even with a highly-billed match as this one, Nu Jerzey Twork fails to hold down his end, showing up unprepared yet again and ‘Jersey’-ing what was a pretty solid round 1 halfway through before choking away the deciding round 3 after dishing an incredible, hardbody 2nd. Meanwhile, while certainly not the best, punch-heavy Swamp we’ve seen, the South Carolina emcee still brought the heat, aggressive as well as getting personal throughout the match and making himself heard with well-executed bars that spoke to Twork’s former(???) Gooonie squad and delivered a talking too when it came to his opponent’s troubles in and outside the battle ring. Add to that some sizzling gun bars, fierce schemes and a spicy punch game, even if he was helped by his opponent’s shortcomings, considering all the drama that took place before this bout happened, for Swamp vengeance still had to be sweet.

Verdict: Swamp (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Swamp – “My life is a movie, you need the script, you bang the .5, I bang and plead the 5th!”

Danny Myers and Nu Jerzey Twork [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: A battle that was in the air for a couple of years, Danny Myers versus Nu Jerzey Twork, finally takes place in Danny’s West-coast stomping grounds and for the most part it was well worth the wait. The always excited-just-to-be-here Danny, does his thing with a wide load of eccentric gun bars, some righteous/mocking personals and flexing punches that outside of a angle-muddled 1st round, kept him in the match. For Twork, a sublime 1st round with a barrage of visceral (“I’m looking for the Target near me, like Google maps!”; “Everything come out his mouth bloody, like a British nigga!”) heaters and rousing schemes easily git him 1st, before a slightly more versatile, mayhem-dishing and personal-driven turn in the 2nd was able to equal a standout and more focused by his opponent. With Twork still up one going into 3rd, even without Danny’s use of a couple of dope freestyles/rebuttals, Myers’ steely pontificating, gripping vet talk and fiery punchlines/wordplay in the final round was more than enough to beat back a solid, but not-nearly-as-potent turn by Twork and thus, force a draw.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Danny Myers – “Me on the big stage, no reason too, I ain’t never did Summer Madness because my bars ain’t seasonal!”

K-Shine defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

by

Recap: 1-round Quarantine battle from URL between then-both NWX members K-Shine and Nu Jerzey Twork, while filled to the rim with plenty of mayhem and aggressive gun bars, still goes the former’s way as Shine’s more consistently-lit punches score with more than force to beat the raucous, but slightly less substantive Twork.

Verdict: K-Shine (W) 1-0

Favorite line: K-Shine – “I fuck with the Roosters, but you the one I got the Tek on, told my bitch, meet me downstairs with ya sweats on, got my chicken hawk on a rooster…Foghorn Leghorn!”

Emerson Kennedy defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

by

Recap: Pouncing on Nu Jerzey Twork with a gang of gritty punchlines and stealth wordplay/set-ups/personals, an also more condensed Emerson Kennedy gets in the vic in this 1-round URL/Quarantined bout over an opponent who while slinging the usual mayhem and personals on EK that we’ve seen before, never could bring the consistent heat needed to beat his more potent opp.

Verdict: Emerson Kennedy (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Emerson Kennedy – “Twork seize your opportunity, it’s West in this bitch, they thought they was gonna watch us play games…till he left with a Twitch!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Bad Newz

by

Recap: Highly competitive and fiery battle between Nu Jerzey Twork and Bad Newz contains a festive load of head-ringing gun bars, gripping street narratives, some wily personals and a boatload of stinging punchlines/name flips from both battlers. Tied going into the deciding 3rd round and even in light of yet another stifling turn by Newz, a more intricate with the punches and condensed Twork edges it in the end.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “I blow the weapon, you try to play me fool then a heckler pop, y’all know I recycle…so I’m a put Newz in a special box!”

Geechi Gotti defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

by


Recap: In this highly anticipated (and much promoted, considering they got their own billboard) matchup from URL’s Genesis card, Geechi Gotti hits on all cylinders, using a consistent barrage of boastful barbs, witty/gritty name flips, gripping O.G. talk, mocking personals, some syrupy wordplay, real street shit and piercing punchlines over the course of 3 rounds to beat back a pretty solid, gun bar-lit and at times cunning with the punches, but too often tentative and pedestrian Nu Jerzey Twork.

Verdict: Geechi Gotti (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Geechi Gotti – “Aye, you beat up Norbes?, I really don’t care, I’m just tryin’ to figure out what that mean to a nigga that really clap things, shoot him, his body shut down, blood stream fucked up worser than Caffeine!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Ooops

by

Recap: Ooops: “I’m just up here trying to save the life of another purse-snatcher!” LOL!!! Even Nu Jerzey Twork had to laugh at that one. But in this dope 1-rounder from Street Status, it’s a condensed Twork who gets the last word (even with a few recycled bars), dishing out a consistent barrage of utter mayhem, stinging name flips (that included both his opponent Ooops moniker and his gov’t name), wicked personals and fierce punchlines during his round to beat back an at times stirring and punch-heavy, but also a bit filler-prone turn by Ooops.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “I don’t know nuthin’ about no Democrats, no Republicans, but I know the sound of a Mac when it dump, I don’t give a fuck about no donkey or no elephant, ‘cuz I’m a put yuur ass in a trunk!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats O’fficial

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from Bayou Battle League, O’fficial does a nice Nu Jerzey Twork ‘Strapped In’ impression, but other than that fails to do anything noteworthy (or consistent enough) to keep up with the well-finessed punchlines, stinging personals/name flips and myriad of heat provided by a way more condensed and filler-light Twork.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “I’m talking semi’s and more and with your partner gone, that’s no more Double Impact, y’all can’t get busy no more…O performing all alone, it’s the Millennium Tour!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Chilla Jones

by

Recap: Crazy, dope and punchline-lit battle between Chilla Jones and Nu Jerzey Twork sees NJT display why when he’s focused, so many of his peers feel he’s one of the best in the game. Indeed, during the 1st and 3rd rounds, Twork just spouted haymaker after haymaker with near-flawless execution not only using Chilla’s own slogans against him but also a boatload of stirring/witty anecdotes, head-twisting punches, fierce name flips, some stellar wordplay, fiending personals and raucous gun bars to take the 1st and edge the 3rd over an aggressive opponent who after a so-so (for him, anyway) 1st round, stepped up in both of the latter rounds (got Jones edging the 2nd round) with a wide load of deft schemes, some well-aimed heat of his own, piercing punchlines and rigid personals. Altogether, a superb bout with Twork earning the win.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “You figured you could go over with them white people and go on a rampage, here go somebody else makin’ it all about you, that’s a fan page, we do shit only niggas can Chill, that’s a man cave!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Zay Smoove

by

Recap: The video of this GOTG 1-rounder between Nu Jerzey Twork and Zay Smoove seems to cut Smoove’s round short, but since it says ‘Full Battle’ in the title we’ll count it as a win for Twork who despite misleading heads on Cee-Lo changing his name to ‘Gnarls Barkley’ (that was really just the name of the band Cee-Lo joined), still delivered more than enough utter mayhem and stinging personals/name flips to beat back a pretty pedestrian turn by his opponent.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “You came to the Gates and left the Trap cold turkey, fuck I look like, Dre?, I ain’t showing you No Mercy!”

Cal defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

by

Recap: Choking can happen to the best of ’em…just ask Loaded Lux. But choking and then running down on an audience member for having the audacity to be a P.O’d after they paid their hard-earned bands only to witness you on stage stumbling through your one round thanks to your lack of preparation? Not feeling that at all. Nu Jerzey Twork should know better and small league owners (esp.) should be careful booking him. Most importantly, regardless of Cal’s mostly mediocre bars here or what he does after this battle, he will forever be able to tell his grandkids that he beat a Top Tier battle rapper.

Verdict: Cal (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Cal – “I did think you wasn’t gonna prepare tho, but once I made you my prey, i put a little faith in Jerusalem bombing!”

Swave Sevah defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

by

Recap: Crazy dope battle between Swave Sevah and Nu Jerzey Twork is only marred by Twork recycling some bars in the 3rd round. Nonetheless, with the veteran Swave dishing witty barbs at Twork’s notorious hand/gun gestures, pointed bully bars, fire tutorials on life, fiery (“Nigga, you wear hoods, I am hood and I’m still in the mud like I’m trying to ambush the Predator!”) personals, guns (esp. during a classic 2nd round that had the crowd mesmerized) and his opponent’s penchant for under utilizing his talent via sizzling punchlines, with Twork also spazzing with the (“It’s known, everybody moving right past him, you stuck on this silly rapping shit, the oldest nigga in your fucking class, you Billy Madison!”) personals, fierce set-ups, stinging rebuttals and rich gun-speak throughout the 1st and 2nd rounds, you’re still left with a couple of debatable rounds going into the 3rd. But thanks in part to the aforementioned reused lines from Twork as well as his own fiery turn of roundhouse punches and virulent mayhem, the deciding 3rd and the battle would go to Swave.

Verdict: Swave Sevah (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Swave Sevah – “Shootouts with shotguns, let’s have our stocks exchange!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats John John Da Don

by

Recap: Considering all the brouhaha that’s gone into one man, John John Da Don, building up a rivalry by himself against an entire battle rap collective (The Goonies), one can understand JJDD being a little sensitive and not allowing Nu Jerey Twork to tag in his bro Jakkboy Maine to kick some bars in that 3rd round. But as a battle rap vet and rapping in an age where tag-ins have become all too common, the feeling here is that John John should’ve just let it go. Either way (and near brawl aside), outside of a strong 2nd round from JJDD (who while versatile with the bars, was wildly inconsistent throughout the match) that made the round close (tho Twork with more haymakers still edged it here) this URL/Resolution battle was all Nu Jerooz as the Goonie capo’s gritty idioms, raucous/mocking personals (funny how Twork even predicted that John John would do strip bar scheme), ripping sound effects, stifling gun bars, a fire ‘multiple choice’ scheme of his own and bruising punchlines just never let up. Indeed, Twork, in one of his most consistent showings, just stayed on his opponent’s neck with such clear confidence throughout the battle that he was even dished a couple of rare, but solid rebuttals…all without his signature ‘Strapped In!’ move. That said, give that man the 30.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Llama blazin’, or pistol whip, get the MAC involved, y’all heard me say I was up early, right?…crack a Don [of dawn]!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Calicoe

by

Recap: There are tough crowds and there was this Philly crowd: intuitive, hanging on every bar, tough and downright mean with nary a thought of letting any wack shit, tag-ins (as T-Top found out in the 3rd round), repetition of bars or dry spots get pass ’em. Indeed, after a dope 1st round that saw Calicoe deliver his unique style of commentary linguistics/real rap shit with some fly personals mixed in towards the end of his turn to only get beat by a more condensed, raucous, gun-heavy, personal-savvy and consistency potent Nu Jerzey Twork, the crowd really these two have it. This despite valiant attempts by Cal and Twork to just rap and put on a show, suddenly they’re booing both battlers for the slightest hiccups, rehashing of lines or filler to the point that Cal would choke away what was looking to be a pretty dope 2nd round (which Twork–who got heckled too–just by getting through his round with a clean turn would edge as well) and in the face of more vexing boo’s freestyle and deliver mixtape bars to get through his 3rd (call this round for Cal as while Twork’s turn was leaning towards being epic, the attempt to tag-in T-Top midway spoiled the momentum and Twork deciding to end the round after seeing Top get clowned on stage hands his opponent the win).

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Y’all think he tough ‘cuz he said he’ll pull my hood off?, c’mon, that’s all?, I’ll be impressed if you live after it, let’s see if you can pull that off!”

Noah defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

by

Recap: Scoring left and right with a boatload of fiery personals, gritty punchlines, some fire set-ups and your usual assortment of aggressive mayhem/braggadocio bars, during this 1-rounder from Any Body Can Die Battle League, Noah even does a good job at predicting his opponent’s angle’s, leaving a recycle-prone and a bit flow-challenged, but still competitive Nu Jerzey Twork with yet another surprising loss on his record.

Verdict: Noah (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Noah – “Nigga, this shit is murder with a smile on, bodies to pile on, while you was setting goals, I was already breaking the pile-on!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Cyssero

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from The Battle Academy, Nu Jerzey Twork uses fierce name flips and stinging punchlines to make quick work of a confident, but lyrically pedestrian Cyssero. Indeed, Cyssero’s elongated turn not only had Twork exasperated, but it became so humdrum that he had the crowd yelling ‘Time!’ while he rapped.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Ill line ya shit, scope on it, I’m Iron Fist, everybody gotta die, but you go first…I insist [eyeing Cys]!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Mway Ojae

by

Recap: 1-round, Onsite Battle League ‘SummertimeShootOut 3’ battle between Nu Jerzey Twork and Mway Ojae sees the latter come through with some gritty punches and nice set-ups/schemes during his turn. But one too many subpar name flips and throwaway bars from Ojae along with a more versatile, punch-heavy, metaphor-bent and gun bar/personal/name flip spazzing Twork, gives New Jerooz the vic.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Wait, y’all really think he be on Jefferson, selling dope with the blue stamp?, hey Tom, I really had quarter brick, half a brick and you still giving Ojae the juice man [OJ da Juiceman]!?!”
