Recap: At this point bar-wise is there anything Jaz the Rapper can’t do? With an extremely high battle IQ that’s more along the likes of Hollow in his hey day and a versatile bar game that’s top-notch regardless of gender, seeing Jaz elevate the game while coming outside more in 2022 should be one of the top stories in battle rap this year. Viixen the Assassin can attest to it. The Milwaukee, WI, emcee fighting through what was pretty much a home game for her opponent, in front of a cheering and locked-in Irving Plaza, NY crowd what with continuously loud aggression and raucous punches/gun bars/personals for 3 rounds. Yet, despite a pretty solid effort that was atypical Viixen, nothing the Assassin did would be near enough as Jaz just displayed throughout that there’s another level to this. The Brooklyn battler stunting on her opp with a punch-drunk, 4-bar setup rich and haymaker-drenched round 1 that also flexed her lyrical acumen. Before taking it even higher with a flawless and sublime (i.e. classic) 2nd that reminded you of just how well-rounded Jaz is, going after Viixen with a gang of killer name flips, hard-hitting punchlines, self-deprecating humor, witty barbs, piercing breakdowns and mocking/stinging personals that clearly hit their mark. Already up 2-0 (clearly) in this URL Homecoming match, Jaz would then use her 3rd round to get nostalgic and boast on her standing in the game before getting back to another barrage of fiery personals, hard boasts and fierce punches that solidified a well-earned 30.
Verdict: Jaz The Rapper (W) 3-0
