Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Shotgun Suge

Recap: Battle of New Jersey’s elite big men, Shotgun and Nu Jerzey Twork, is as expected raucous, gun-lit, personal-bent and with plenty of touching and banging around, enough to make you think these two were going at it in the paint on a basketball court instead of a battle stage. All that aside, a slightly more condensed, pocket-tapping, hometown-bar leaning and more consistent with the punches Suge takes the first, a round that was also decided by a turned-up Twork losing a bit of steam and eventually cutting his round short. Second round had the two battlers dishing nothing but heat with flexing braggadocio lines, vicious gun bars and visceral (Twork: “A pistol whip that’ll make a mood change, Nina, give you the butt, well, show ‘em how to do it now: Shake your groove thang!”) heaters, however with Twork also mixing in some fire personals (that included a ‘random’ shot at Tsu Surf), the more versatile Goonie who edges the round to even things up going into the 3rd. With bragging rights on the line in the deciding last round, Suge goes vet mode, (“Point is, how you King of Jersey, call yourself a soldier?, you ain’t never in the battlefield and had to look over your soldier!”) pontificating on his era of battle rap versus his opponent’s, while also going in on Twork hood credentials and fledgling battle rap career with his notorious ‘What His Life Like?’ bars of grit. However, a solid and fiery turn by Suge gets beat by yet another more potent run by Twork who with continuously rigid wordplay, piercing (“I take a Uzi, and get to clapping on you guys! I’m headed to Hillside, masked in a disguise, what his life like? [*chk-chk*], he can tell you when it flash before his eyes!”) punchlines and nifty, but stinging personals, consistently did enough to take the round and the win.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Shotgun Suge – “I’ll have your babymama head missing for the goofy shit or shoot her dead in the pussy, I’m making tuna fish!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Kream

Recap: Although he ended up rapping twice as longer as his opponent, in this 1-rounder from Warzone Battles, a pretty confident Kream did manage to mix in some solid punches during his elongated and boastful turn. But helped in part by way too many pedestrian bars from his super confident adversary, Nu Jerzey Twork’s way more condensed turn, a round that was enriched by a gang of rambunctious gun play, swinging mayhem and some fiery name flips, easily resulted in a win for the Gooonie captain.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “[Bwoh!] the bullet surfing, it go in the crowd, holding it down, biscuits, .3’s [tray’s], Golden Corral!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Eazy the Block Captain

Recap: Eazy the Block Captain’s trap talk and real life struggle (“Since I was young, I came with the cig like my mom wrote the note!”) bars usually make, as they do here, for a competitive battle. But a way more condensed, wordplay-heavy, performance-enhanced and mayhem-inducing Nu Jerzey Twork edges this 1-rounder from Gates of the Garden.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “I’m like Hasbro…the trouble-maker!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Buttah From Da Block

Recap: As Danny Myers would say: “Yikes!” Yet, another choke by Nu Jerzey Twork, here in this 3-rounder versus a loud, hitting at times and aggressive (pardon the NJT impressions) Buttah From Da Block. However, a more bodacious, eccentric with the gun lines and consistent with the punches Twork does enough in the first couple of rounds to dismiss his final round collapse and gain the win.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Pipe in the sock, .22’s on a rifle to prop…you ain’t see Ketchup vs. Mustard? [bwoh!], this nigga Buttah doing life in the box!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats SDK

Recap: No ‘Strapped IN!’ bars, but still 5 minutes of utter mayhem, gritty wordplay and distinctive gun bars from Nu Jerzey Twork in this 1-rounder from WAU Battle League. And even with some recycled bars from Twork, it’s still all enough to beat back an SDK, who while rapping twice as long as his opponent, was able to dish some solid punches here and there, but too much filler, reaches and pedestrian name flips helped help lead to his demise.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “I’ll bang a pair, breeze in the house, call Steve on the couch…thinking chair!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Aye Verb

Recap: The hoodie taken off (we see you Calicoe) completes the comeback in what was a haymaker-filled, performance-heavy and personal/punchline/wordplay (“I’m at your crib, he like ‘It ain’t gonan be that tho!’ [bwoh!] yes it is!”) stifling, classic 3rd round from Nu Jerzey Twork. Indeed, after a pedestrian, slip-up prone 1st that was cut short, much less had zero chance of beating a solid, (“Your flow low-key blah, blah, my emoji monster’s, I’m solo with it, I never need a staff, I ain’t Loki partna!”), posturing and punch-heavy ‘Vegan Verb’, Twork literally turned it up, stunting heavy with a consistently rapid, gun bar execution in the 2nd, before the aforementioned spitfire 3rd finished the mission.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “One hit from this MC Hammer [emcee hammer] like Have You Seen Her?, if I had to arm you in a casket hugging the body, the Macarena [mac will ring ya]!”

Goddie Lumenati defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

Recap: For two minutes anyway, Nu Jerzey Twork does his thing, using some bombastic name flips and hometown bars to make you feel he came prepared to win…well, that was for two minutes anyway, until Towrk suddenly cut his round short. Because that’s what you do in a 1-rounder when you’re not prepared and can’t remember your bars. Thankfully, for the crowd and us battle rap feens anyway, Goddie Lumenati did come prepared. And while not kicking the dopest shit you’ve ever heard in your life, still scored consistently with fierce gun bars, stinging wordplay/metaphors and enough electric punchlines to take this one.

Verdict: Goddie Lumenati (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Goddie Lumenati – “Even when he hot, it’s hole’s in his rounds…Krispy Kreme!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Killahsiz

Recap: A well-prepared Nu Jerzey Twork is a lethal one. As shown again here, against some fire/aggressive (and [“I’ll fuck the blood out your bitch!”] questionable) punchlines from opponent Killahsiz, Twork’s more condensed roundhouses, utter mayhem, seismic wordplay and demonic (“Demons in my head they just rejoicing, Monsters Inc., they filled it up with little voices!”) lines are just enough to edge this spitfire 1-round battle.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “I’m in ya household [bwoh!], I let it off in your coofie, I just copped some stupid shit…Officer Doofy!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Bobby Lee

Recap: A solid performance by up-n-comer Bobby Lee, filled with plenty of fierce (“You wear clothes that are one cheeseburger away from you fitting them!”) wit and nice punches, is still edged by a better Nu Jerzey Twork, who shows up here with fiercer gun bars and some exquisite (“Watch your raps, or your mama clapped, the .9 extend, don’t let the reason she get clipsed [clips] to the back of her head, be Bobby pen [bobbypin]!”) wordplay to take this one-rounder brought to you from Body Bag Battles.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “I’ll push your grandmama down the stairs and holler ‘Life Alert’!”

Mr. Wavy defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

Recap: In this performance-heavy battle between Mr. Wavy and Nu Jerzey Twork, an unforced error by Twork, cutting off Wavy’s 2nd round due to time limits and allowing him the opportunity to start his 3rd with hilarious barbs (that were intended for Wavy’s 2nd) on Twork’s hairline encapsulates the entire battle that saw Wavy (after getting edged in round one by a more condensed and [“Damn the zombie, I’ll stitch a bird across Wave chest…Abercrombie!”] potent Twork) use consistently fire punchlines/schemes, fierce personals, ‘nasty’ (“Your squad gassed, the clip longer than the fro that Marge had!”) gun bars and a altogether witty, crowd-pleasing performance (that Twork himself said caused him to choke away his 2nd round) to earn the win and put his name back in the mix when it comes to the big stage.

Verdict: Mr. Wavy (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Mr. Wavy – “You look like if you go to the club without an I.D. then take your hoodie off, they be like ‘Aight, go ahead nigga!'”

Stack Almighty defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

Recap: Undeterred by Drugz jumping in for a 3rd of Nu Jerzey Twork’s round, in this 1-rounder from Bloody Scene, Stack Almighty uses a barrage of boisterous bully bars, some piercing punchlines, candid O.G. talk and some witty/hardbody personals to beat back his hitting at times, but mostly one-dimensional opponent.

Verdict: Stack Almighty (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Stack Almighty – “You ever a man get buried where he standing?…well, that’s a grave sight [grave site]!”

Apollo defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

Recap: Is Nu Jerzey Twork at the point in his battle rap career where he can do side battles just ‘for a check’? Who knows. But with Twork’s name steady rising, why should he turn down battles against no-names if the call arises? That said, other than dudes arguing over time limits, the performance-enhanced Twork being at somewhat of a disadvantage on a small stage and a guest appearance from….who knows on Twork’s side, nothing much to see here besides Twork, thanks to a couple of slip-ups to start his round, losing to a pretty pedestrian guy named Apollo, whoill probably need to step his overall bar game up i f he ever wants to get a PG.

Verdict: Apollo (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Apollo – “Go on the hunt for him, got my grip on the .9 tight, he try running, that’s when the scope catch up to him…man, I’m shooting nigga’s in hindsight!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Cali Mackavelli

Recap: Well, I guess that no one could say that Nu Jerzey Twork isn’t an ‘open-minded’ kind of guy, taking on a low tier, gay battle rapper in the prime of his career. Still, for whatever significance comes out (no pun intended) of this one-round battle, bar for bar, it was a wrap early as Twork’s spontaneous combustion’s combined with some fiery wordplay and steely wit, more than overcame a solid, but unmoving and a bit flow-challenged turn by Cali Mackavelli.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Look at this nigga grin….you know it’s bad when you tell a nigga ‘suck a dick’ and he don’t even get offended!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats JC

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!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Krillz

Recap: The most likely point person in ‘What’s a choke?’ debates, overall Nu Jerzey Twork manages to out bar a mostly pedestrian (and admittedly drunk) Krillz, but not before choking away round 1 and almost choking again the deciding 3rd. Still, if not for a poor showing by his seemingly distracted opponent, Twork’s short-lived final round (albeit with a couple of hot bars) might’ve cost him this tune up before his next battle with JC.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “The gun dumping, if he tell you even a bit of my challenge then son fronting, my only competition was burgers…like The Chum Bucket!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Radio B

Recap: A pocket-tap, a rare freestyle, fire name flips and of course, a shitload of stinging gun bars, it’s all there for the always aggressive Nu Jerzey Twork, who in this 1-rounder versus a hitting here and there, but elongated and mostly pedestrian Radio B, seemed to be having so much fun that he even included a crowd-pleasing ‘Strapped In!’ compilation for his otherwise, already beaten opponent.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Sniper with the gamma rays, this the last time you see Radio active!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Ill Will

Recap: After a hot start by Ill Will in the 1st round that edged a (“If you heard I don’t play, you better believe that shit, my nigga will break ya neck for a dime like [turns head]…’Bra, did you see that bitch!'”) haymaker-drenched, but dry spot-littered turn by Nu Jerzey Twork, the latter gets in his bag of fiery unorthodox polemics rich with finite (“[throws punches in air at Will] You see these get Ill-lit-er-ate [bwoh!] couldn’t read or write!”) performance bars and jaunty wordplay to spark a ferocious comeback. Indeed, Twork’s comeuppance would equate to a salacious round two that was made even more dominant by a stunning 2nd-round choke by Will. Tied going into the 3rd, a slow start by the Yaktown rapper, despite a load of steely histrionics later on in his round, would allow for a more consistent and frenzied Twork to do just enough for the win in what some could call an upset.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Restless, I guess that gives your name less significance, well you can rap with God, I hear he got the best deliverance!”

Cortez and Nu Jerzey Twork [DEBATABLE]

Recap: Here against Nu Jerzey Twork, Cortez finally gets his long-deserved Summer Madness battle and overall, whiel it’s a solid showing from both battlers, you wouldn’t be unfair if you wanted and expected more. That said, a more consistent, trap-themed and versatile Cortez edged the first round, using some dope performance bars along with some exquisite (“I need to know, they call you Twork why?, ‘cuz you shaving them grams?!, lies, they call you Twork ‘cuz you shaky on cam!”) wordplay to beat back a menacing and gun-heavy turn by the always eccentric (“I let it clap on Cor, [claps 3 times]. then again…clap..on. Cor…the gat drann!”) Twork. Second round had Twork winning pretty easy as Tez’s aggressive bars, while loaded with a few (“.357 in your face, the nose ring different!”) shiners here and there, missed the mark too often with a couple of reaches and wayward themes/lines that seemed a little redundant, when they weren’t pedestrian. In turn, Twork came through with a spitfire round that spoke to the potency (“I get it popping when it bang, silencio, sound like nada when it bang!”) of his pen as well his ability to spout an expansive range of fire set-ups. Going into the last round tied, Cortez’s earlier promises of having something to talk about, turned into a bit of a disappointment, what with little on the personal side. And while you got a competitive round filled with plenty of heat and sanguine wordplay, a few dry spots along with bars that would’ve worked against a lesser tier opponent, would end up costing Cortez a win. In turn, with momentum on his side after spitting his best round, Twork’s 3rd, while not his best, still was enough to rise to the occasion, what with some witty (“You managed to beat Daylyt, but most of your footage ain’t seen the light of day!”) personals and fiery gun bars that slayed their mark. Overall, enough to catch up to Cort and call this one even at the end.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Fuck your battles, you hear me talking about your vault, it’s the one behind the portrait!”

Mike P defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

Recap: Considering his growing popularity, Nu Jerzey Twork’s struggles with remembering his bars may get the headlines here, but a versatile showing from Mike P, what with dope (“You barely popping and that’s because you lazy Twork [twerk]!”) punchlines, bombastic schemes, witty personals, consistent showmanship and some finessed wordplay deserves all the praises, doing enough too with a cleaner flow to take rounds 1 and 3 (in which Twork cut short due to nearly choking) over an NJT who while edging the middle round with more (“I was on Chuck E. Cheese and I was a little nigga when that was open and I say that to say I never rat, the only thing I got from a rat was a bag of tokens!”) potent bars and some dizzying haymakers, needs to work on his preparation more if he wants to keep standing in with the big dogs.

Verdict: Mike P (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Mike P -“Blade weapon, you’re privileged to get it, it’s like your birth right, put a butterfly into your cocoon, i could reverse life!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Qleen Paper

Recap: Take out Qleen Paper’s half-a-minute or so slip-up in the middle of his 2nd round and against the ever-rambunctious Nu Jerzey Twork, you have a much closer battle what with QP’s slick-talking veneer dropping some dope punches here and there when he wasn’t dishing stinging gun (“The beam on his face, soon as it get down to his nose, ring!”) bars, aggressive personals and witty shiners. But clearly focused and repeatedly applying the heat with a host of fly (“I’ll grip a blade, leave ya lip hanging off, give ya a ‘nigga please’ face!”) weaponry, oft-subliminal, but biting wordplay and fierce name flips, Twork wasn’t having any of his opponent’s veteran panache, edging a close round 1 with more spice to his haymakers, before also winning the latter two rounds with the help of a slight downturn in overall potency from Qleen as well as his aforementioned cogency with the bars coupled with an overall very ‘strapping’ performance.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Sharpshooter, with the lens, I could go pro [GoPro], [Bwoh!] [Bwoh!], it’s shooting in slo-mo and he’ll who hit him…but you should be used to the No-Show!”

Glueazy and Nu Jerzey Twork [DEBATABLE]

Recap: Dope one between Glueazy and Nu Jerzey Twork, close and competitive enough to definitely warrant a couple of looks. A performance-rich and /set-up/gun-bar (“That’s fake love, I’ll [waves hand like a gun] fill her head up with all kind’s of shit, end the bitch!”) spazzing Twork, despite going longer than his solid, punch-heavy opponent, still rained down enough haymakers to take round 1. And while both battlers brought plenty of heat in the middle round, the edge here goes to Glu for being more condensed with his turn, while supplying the best bar of the round. Final and deciding round was another barn buster with Glueazy kicking more fire punchlines (tho mostly in the 1st half of his round) with his signature aggression and VA cadence, while Twork consistently scored aplenty with more animated gun bars and finite wordplay. That said, call it a toss-up.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line:  Glueazy – “I’ll kill him, Robin Williams, all jokes and now your life’s on a line!”

Dougy defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

Recap: We don’t go off of hype here. That said, Nu Jerzey Twork and Dougy’s debut on the URL stage goes the latter’s way as the Brooklyn rhymer explodes for almost 3 entire rounds (including a flawless 1st) with not only a gang of spitfire gun bars, but piercing (“Show you what the toolie do, banana clip, swing a monkey in ya window like Zoboomafoo!”) punchlines that showed off some excellent wordplay, some finessed personals and enough glaring trap shit to make you wary to go outside. Not that Twork didn’t hold his own tho, the much-heralded newbie shining for the most part with intricate (“I’m ballin, I get highlights often, Lorcin or a .9 might spark him, face shot, I pop eyes [Popeye] ‘Why I oughta!‘”) punches that often lit up the room, some head-ringing bully bars and his own performance-heavy and unique brand of lofty mayhem and righteous heat. Indeed, if not for Twork getting off to slow starts in both the 1st and 2nd round, coupled with some pedestrian bars here and there as well as a shortened 2nd that one could argue was actually a choke, this battle might’ve had a different outcome. But even with Twork consistently putting it all together in the 3rd round to edge a pretty solid turn by his opponent, by then, lyrically speaking this battle was already lost.

Verdict: Dougy (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Dougy – “I flipped my first pack at 12, my O.G. showed me the weed, 14 grams, my first pack was older than me!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Redd Handed

Recap: Suave (“I said I gave bitches nothing but dick…and brief time spent!”), witty at times, name-flip savvy, diligent with the heat and rambunctious with the punchlines/set-ups, Nu Jerzey Twork does enough to beat back a pretty solid, (“You season 5 of ‘Walking Dead’ ‘cuz you don’t really plan to leave VA!”) punch-heavy and fiery Redd Handed, who more than held his own in the face of Twork’s boisterous composition, but not quite enough in each round to avoid the 30.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Mine might dump, it’ll lift Redd in the air like, ‘That’s my bike punk!'”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Ripp

Recap: Nu Jerzey Twork scores a rare bodybag, consistently using ferocious (“Sit your black ass down before I let my hawk speak, rip [Ripp] clothes on stage…Five Heartbeats!”) name flips, winning (“Fuck you and that bitch, that’s my fave phrase, machete on me, K on me, I gotta stay safe, Ripp get the K on sight, she get —-, I let it rip, once I let it rip, I give ya bae babes!”) schemes, fierce (“Drive-by, I’m coming to Ripp [rip] city in a Trailblazer!”) punchlines, rich angles/set-ups and even exposing Ooops sound-alike (and build-alike)/opponent (“You brought all them niggas from Trenton with you, you knew you wasn’t gonna make it alone, it looks bad for all these niggas…like the interviews with Raven-Symone!”) Ripp with pictures from a less ‘gangsta/precaher’ profession. And what with host Jaz da Rapper in the building along with a classic first round from Twork, one can guess that this was one the of the battles that impressed folks enough to eventually bring Twork to the URL stage.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “All that preaching just to be another nigga to die, you living a lie, I talk about guns because my Mac pack rounds…and Rosa Parks ain’t do shit but sit her black ass down!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats C Dollarz

Recap: Lots of quick (“You stay strapped, but never would kill….Yosemite Sam!”) punches and comedy (“This hairline I wouldn’t carry, you probably wear a hood to shower, you look worried”) stylings from C Dollarz kept him in this match. But Nu Jerzey Twork’s rich (“….I don’t fail missions [bends down], I get down low with the shit, like a jail picture!”) storytelling bars, wild schemes and steady mix of steely (“Shots go straight at this leg, his groin break up….boy, I’ll treat a DC nigga like Shawn Taylor!”) gun bars gets him the latter two rounds and the win.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “I got 5 .45’s like a quarter to 6!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Ghetto Fama

Recap: In this 3-rounder from Showtime Battle Arena, tho he’d choke away his 3rd round, the hardbody punches and witty storytelling from Ghetto Fama would keep things interesting. That said, Fama really stood no chance as a consistently blazing with the heat, bruising with the personals and punch-lit from all angles Nu Jerzey Twork delivers the 30.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “If he see long snipes, he gonna head for the nearest exit, infra-red tags on clothes like the Clearance section!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Dynamo Dan

Recap: Credit to Dynamo Dan for an aggressive and gritty punch game throughout this competitive, 3-round, Showtime Battle Arena match against Nu Jerzey Twork. But armed with a boatload of spicy similes, fiery/rapid punchlines, gripping mayhem and witty barbs, it’s Twork who earns the 30 here.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Drive-by, I’ve been hanging out a Honda with a whole clip, nigga still had an automatic when he drove stick!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Biggs Da Proof

Recap: From Showtime Battle Arena, a 3-rounder that featured a performance-heavy Nu Jerzey Twork at his funniest with a gang of witty personals, but also scoring with some stifling punchlines/gun bars would be just enough to take both of the opening rounds for the win over a punch-heavy at times and pretty funny himself Biggs Da Proof before a gritty and punch-lit Proof easily took round 3 with an assist from an unprepared Twork.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “If you was my son I’d be beating my kid, you’ll get a whuppin’ for every slice of pizza you get!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Rap Guru

Recap: Not much to see when it comes to haymakers in this pretty mediocre 2-round battle between Nu Jerzey Twork and Rap Guru. But with the unintentionally funny, but pretty serious when it comes to spitting that O.G. talk Rap Guru rhyming twice as long as his opponent in both rounds (while not saying much), even a mostly average punching and nimbly scheme-throwing Twork can slip by with a win.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “I don’t care what Jim carry [Carrey], I’ll still have fun dick’n Jane!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Big Homie

Recap: Some rich (“Gun line after gun line with the same punchline…OLD, that shit ain’t New [Nu] Jerzey!”) name flips and a more versatile round 3 (combined with a short turn by his opponent) saves him from getting shut out, but other than that Big Homie couldn’t provide much else. And when faced against Nu Jerzey Twork’s repertoire of fat jokes, aggressive (“When I dump the steel, you’ll see this fat man yelling at will [Will] like Uncle Phil!”) gun chatter and hitting schemes/punchlines, a quality win on the road just wasn’t in the cards

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Nigga I’m the boss, but when I’m firing these Tek’s involved, I’ll put him in the air…higher than his cholesterol!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Cadillac Red

Recap: In what was a pretty standard affair of boastful punches, raunchy/spicy personals, real rap talk, modest gun bars/mayhem and gritty 4-bar setups, Nu Jerzey Twork dishes enough consistent heat in the 1st and 3rd rounds to get the win over Cadillac Red during this 3-rounder from Square Circle Battle League.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “But you said you a weed man nigga, that’s what you popping in the street, you said you had them pounds and you was coppin’ them for cheap, so I was waiting for the lik, I be poppin’ for the weed, I’m like George of the Jungle how I watch out for the tree!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Lu Castro

Recap: Lots of gun bars and some bad editing in this matchup between Nu Jerzey Twork and Lu Castro. Yet, from what you can see, it’s pretty clear that a more aggressive, fast-rapping and (“Your mom take a lot of D, so you know the players in here, we call her Chandler, Why?, because she defensive player of the year!”) joke/bar-heavy Castro took round one, while Twork came back with more (“We know you ain’t got those .4’s dumping nigga, and when the cops come around it’s the only time you know something nigga!”) shiners and gritty schemes in round two to even things up. Last round saw Twork almost choke, but thanks in part to Castro often struggling with his flow and delivering nothing much but standard bars, it’s Twork with some ill usage of bouyant (“At his crib window, thumping on the glass, break in, shoot your mom while she humping on your dad, bullets ricocheting when I’m dumping out the mag, boy these shells like frogs how they jumping off the pad!”) storytelling bars, who edges the round and gets the win.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “Once I blast this nigga with Wessons, it’s like action figure collections, ‘cuz nigga you ain’t getting out the box!”

WonDon defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

Recap: When he wasn’t dishing a plethora of filler and self-serving bars at spectators, speed rapper/lyricist WonDon uses a variety of nice (“You look like you eat ass on the down low, giving new meaning to the phrase brown nose!”) punches/name flips that landed hard as well as a couple of out-of-nowhere haymakers to beat a (“I make pussies bleed, you should keep a tampon witcha, you done hopped in this water, so when that landslide hit ya, you’ll be close to diving boards like Antoine Fisher!”) Nu Jerzey Twork whose round 3 choke served as the epitome of an off day.

Verdict: WonDon (W) 2-1

Favorite line: WonDon – “You know what hurts me?, the fact that I’ll be remembered for assassinating the captain of a twerk [Twork] team!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Head

Recap: A 1-round battle that’s pretty witty on the low, Nu Jerzey Twork uses some piercing name flips and a gang of ringing 4-bar punches to beat back a solid throughout, but not nearly as potent Head.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “I’ll put a couple engaged like wedlock, nigger I ain’t taking pictures when I get Head shot [headshot]!”
