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!”
