First Lady Flamez defeats LL Coogi

Recap: She raps so well. Confidently dishing a gang of raucous punchlines, gritty gun bars, clever name flips, righteous darts and astute character assassination hits, outside of a close round 1 that she still managed to win via a handful more haymakers, First Lady Flamez dominates in both of the latter rounds of this Black Elite Battle League 3-rounder for the win over a competitive at first, but mostly pedestrian afterwards LL Coogi.

Verdict: First Lady Flamez (W) 3-0

Favorite line: First Lady Flamez – “I can’t stand this nigga, that’s the truest shit, so I slide through like a spin cycle and fuck up Coogi fit!”

First Lady Flamez defeats 40 B.A.R.R.S.

Recap: From Anybody Can Die Battle League, put aside that overanimated, annoying white dude standing behind 40 B.A.R.R.S. and First Lady Flamez (who’s normally pretty stoic while her opponent raps) reacting way too much to some of 40’s bars, it’s a close and competitive 3-rounder between two of the women’s top tier battlers. However, outside of a debatable (where 40, who was highly pedestrian throughout this batle, used some spitfire personals to make it a tie) 2nd round, Flamez’ flexing wordplay and overall intricacy, sizzling gun bars and more consistently hitting punches edges her the 1st and 3rd rounds for the win.

Verdict: First Lady Flamez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: First Lady Flamez – “Clap this bitch then dip, bring a new meaning to leaving 40 on a dresser!”

First Lady Flamez defeats Ms. Ill

Recap: Must have been something really important going on for that dude in red to keep his back turned the entire battle. Either way, in this 1-rounder from GOTG, while a gritty Ms. Ill puts on a solid show, her opponent First Lady Flamez simply dominates. Richmond, VA’s finest using an exemplary barrage of fine-tuned gun bars, hard-hitting punchlines, slick wordplay and piercing similes/personals to score enough haymakers and earn the win.

Verdict: First Lady Flamez (W) 1-0

Favorite line: First Lady Flamez – “It’s sickening when you weird shaped bitches disrespect me, ‘cuz I’d rather be slim forever tham thinking [thick and] correctly!”

First Lady Flamez defeats Eliza Versa

Recap: Funny how Gwitty be telling the crowd to quiet down during battles when he’s the one interrupting the battlers the most. Anyway, a close, competitive and fire 3-rounder from SheGoHard between an aggressive, mayhem-lit and excessive gun bar-slinging Eliza Versa and a fierce name-flip kicking, gritty punching, lyrically brash and heat holding First Lady Flamez comes down to the more condensed, versatile (including that dope Denzel Washington movie scheme) and slightly more haymaker efficient Flamez edging rounds 1 (call round 2 debatable) and 3 for the win.

Verdict: First Lady Flamez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: First Lady Flamez – “But they said E’s one of y’all best, ain’t really been faced with death, but she could still go far, but I think forward, rigormortis…yeah she’ll go [makes choke sign] hard!”

1st Lady Flamez defeats C3

Recap: From Chrome 23, recent league tourney champ C3 has been on a nice run lately, but here against 1st Lady Flamez, the Queens, NY vet is reminded that there’s levels to this shit. Flamez taking advantage of an overall solid (esp. when she used her wit and personals), but shaky at times with the flow, slow set-up/punching and imperceptive opponent with a steady barrage sublime punchlines/metaphors, wicked gun bars. fiery name flips and potent wordplay/similes to handily take all three rounds for the 30.

Verdict: 1st Lady Flamez (W) 3-0

Favorite line: 1st Lady Flamez – “I’m from the Rich, so when shit get lit even the yung’uns squeeze, kiddy table at the cookout, everybody got a drum apiece!”

First Lady Flamez defeats Kausion

Recap: While Chrome 23’s visual aesthetics and stage presense have improved quite a bit since its birth, Remy Ma may want to work a little on controlling her crowd’s as big man with the shades on (presumably from Kausion’s side) was way too comfortable being all up in the women’s space (and in the camera) during this 3-rounder featuring Kausion versus First Lady Flamez. That aside, a fire matchup between two Virginian’s gets won by Flamez who with a plethora of fiery gun bars, some impeccible wordplay, a bunch of sturdy name flips and flexing/aggressive punchlines takes rounds 1 and 2 for the win over an oppoenent who while competing hard with her bag of gritty punches, piercing street rhymes and potent name flisp of her own, couldn’t (till the 3rd round, which was a debatable) keep up to Flamez when it came to haymakers of steady efficiency in the opening rounds.

Verdict: First Lady Flamez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: First Lady Flamez – “Silencer on a nina, we ’bout action, nothing gets vocalized, so when I look at this I’m sending shots, it’s like getting pregnant by ya side nigger during summertime…I hope it dies!”

First Lady Flamez defeats MyVerse

Recap: Not sure why anyone would state that Twitter Spaces ‘killed battle rap’ when so many epic arguments between battlers (which literally led to battles), spicy moments and expose’s came out of them. Hell, even the short-term, but classic Midnight Madness league wouldn’t have happened without Twitter Spaces, an audio chat room that would also spark this battle as who can’t remember First Lady Flamez screaming tirade on MyVerse’s rapping ability on TS last year? And for 3 rounds, Flamez more than backed up her rant. The Richmond, Virginia spitter never taking her foot off the gas while utilizing a steady stream of hard-hitting punches/similes, fire name flips, fiending gun bars, dapper street shit and rigid wordplay to score a 30 over an opponent who surprisingly enough put more points on the board with her witty personals (esp. in round 2 which was Verse’s best by far) and a couple of fly schemes than her punches which too often then not were pretty pedestrian and elongated especially when it came to the set-up.

Verdict: First Ladt Flamez (W) 3-0

Favorite line: First Lady Flamez – “I’ll knock the soul out this bitch and let it talk to y’all, then at her funeral MyVerse will be a monologue!”

Ish Mula defeats First Lady Flamez

Recap: First Lady Flamez has been taking a lot of battles lately and it may be catching up to her. For example, in this 1-rounder from HitList Battle League versus an always dangerous Ish Mula, where Flamez’ penchant for hardbody punches/wordplay came through a handful of times, but her preparation game (apparently both Flamez and her opponent battled the previous day) wasn’t quite there as she had to stop and recall her bars a couple of times during her round. Thus leaving a more versatile, name flip savvy, gritty punching, 4-bar set-up-lit, personal stunting and bullish Mula with an easy vic.

Verdict: Ish Mula (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Ish Mula – “What’s poppin’ blood?, I give a symbol they gonna find her never, one word will mean everything like Chinese letters!”

First Lady Flamez defeats Kid Chaos

Recap: 3-rounder from URL’s Lite Work card. Fire ‘Ginuwine’ bar from Kid Chaos in the 3rd, which in the midst of a boatload of stinging boasts/punchlines/set-ups throughout the match, got him the finale and made for a pretty solid showing overall. But with a bit of a quicker 1st step when it cames to the punches, in addition to some fire name flips, better transitions, spicy wordplay, righteous gun bars and zero reaches (unlike her opponent who had a couple) it’s First Lady Flamez who also lands a couple of more haymaker in each turn to edge both the 1st and 2nd rounds for the win.

Verdict: First Lady Flamez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: First Lady Flamez – “Nose up as soon as I walk in the door like I don’t like shit!”

First Lady Flamez defeats Lady Caution

Recap: In this fire 1-rounder from Our Society Battle League, Lady Caution wigs with a gang of fiery gun bars, pent-up mayhem and hard-hitting punchlines/name flips. However, replete with a slightly more consistent and versatile plate of vicious schemes, stifling wordplay, wicked/cold calculated punches and jaunty name flips/personals of her own, it’s First Lady Flamez who edges this on for the win here.

Verdict: First Lady Flamez (W) 1-0

Favorite line: First Lady Flamez – “You had me fucked up for even taking this, sugar free , it ain’t sweet ’round here pimpin’, I’ll break a bitch, Napalm, Chloroform, homemade bombs, short list safer than me you should be playing with!”

First Lady Flamez defeats Stack

Recap: Dope 1-rounder from Battle Rap Society sees Stack lay out a bunch of tough, gritty bars that not only kept him competitive, but more often then not kept the crowd lit. But proving once again that even on a small league stage she’s still a beast, First Lady Flamez’s steady barrage of stifling punchlines, fiending set-ups, hard street rhymes and rigid gun bars are more than enough to gain the win.

Verdict: First Lady Flamez (W) 1-0

Favorite line: First Lady Flamez – “Petty bitch, these tek’s [texts] will fuck your life and your mood up!”

First Lady Flamez defeats Jakkboy Maine

Recap: A URL Kings vs. Queens 3 battle that might have given the hardcore battle rap fan a little wariness what with Jakkboy Maine and First Lady Flamez being a couple in real life (‘Could they really go full throttle on each other considering that they live together?’), Jakk via a gang of hard-hitting punchlines, piercing performance bars and witty/slick personals and Flamez, armed with a bunch of stifling personals, bruising schemes, slick wordplay and gritty set-ups/punches, still managed to put on a dope and competitive show that kept the crowd captivated. Still tho, after a more haymaker-lit Flamez took the opening round, an equally entertaining, punch-lit and aggressive on both sides round 2 made for a debatable. But helped a bit by a still scoring Jakk letting his foot off the pedal bar-wise towards the end of his turn, a turned up, versatile and more consistently brazen Flamez woud handily take the 3rd for the win.

Verdict: First Lady Flamez (W) 2-1

Favoriet line: First Lady Flamez – “Jakk, you got me fucked up, exactly why I’m snapping, single black mom on Christmas, I make a lot happen!”

First Lady Flamez defeats Hazzy

Recap: In this 1-rounder from OSBL, a fiery effort from Hazzy who made a statement with her aggression, Jakkboy personals and consistently gritty punchlines, gets edged by the gun bar spicy, wordplay flexing, vociferous punching and slightly more haymaker-lit First Lady Flamez.

Verdict: First Lady Flamez (W) 1-0

Favorite line: First Lady Flamez – “The closest I came to making peace was reassembling a Trey-8!”

First Lady Flamez defeats Chetta

Recap: Aggressive with a gang of brazen punches/personals and bullish semantics, Chetta makes for a pretty solid effort in this 1-rounder from Our Society Battle League vs. First Lady Flamez. However, a more condensed and versatile Flamez, styling on her opponent with a consistent barrage of rigid name flips, fire wordplay, stifling punchlines, righteous banter and gripping set-ups/mayhem/gun bars, does enough to get the win here.

Verdict: First Lady Flamez (W) 1-0

Favorite line: First Lady Flamez – “Your punches don’t always have the forces they need, which makes sense ‘cuz big bitches known to struggle with speed!”

First Lady Flamez defeats Scripture

Recap: After being warned by his opponent about there being ‘levels’ to this shit, a gritty with the punches Scripture gets off to a hot start in this Hit List Battle League 3-rounder. But some subpar bars and a slip-up by the small league star in the latter rounds to go along with First Lady Flamez getting extra spicy with the mayhem, name flips and gripping punchlines, would prove the Richmond, VA, spitter right in the long run and win her the battle.

Verdict: First Lady Flamez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: First Lady Flamez – “I know the truth, first lies I viewed came out of Scripture!”

Emerson Kennedy and First Lady Flamez [DEBATABLE]

Recap: With both battlers spouting a gang of fiery schemes, hard-hitting personals and stinging wordplay/punchlines throughout their 3 rounds, Emerson Kennedy vs. First Ladii Flamez on URL’s Civil War card is not only a competitive goodie, but a spirited barfest that brought the heat when it came to nuance. Still, EK in his bag too when it came to (“You see Moses burning bush if you clearly hedging flames!”) sterling name flips, would edge round 1 despite an aggressive and gritty turn (that was interrupted towards the end by her throwing up) by Flamez. Round 2 would feature a spitfire opening freestyle by EK that with more piercing punches/personals allowed the Salt Lake City rapper to score a draw against a wordplay-heavy, boastful and scheme-lit run by the First Lady. The final round would serve as the only clear round of the battle with EK delivering his lightest turn of the night (tho it was solid what with its artful use of righteous punchlines), a 3rd offering that would get handily beat back by a versatile and sublime-punching Flamez to make this one a debatable.

Verdict: Debatable 

Favorite line: First Ladii Flamez – “I will Black and beat the White out your bitch…no Grey Area!”

E-Hart and First Lady Flamez [DEBATABLE]

Recap: From QOTR’s Heir To The Throne card, spitfire and haymaker-drenched battle between a (“So I be by the door with the hoodie low, lacking confidence, giving good pussy energy tho, I got the wildest grip!”) gun-ba/punch-heavy and often stifling First Ladii Flamez and an ever gritty and wordplay-lit E-Hart, comes down to the more condensed and versatile (via a bunch of righteous banter, fiery punchlines, head-ringing name flips and gripping personals) Hart taking round 2 (after a debatable round 1) while the heat-fortified and slightly more punch-lit Flamez edged the 3rd to make this one a draw.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: E-Hart – “If you want beef over buns, I might let Jakk in the box!”

First Ladii Flamez defeats Stace

Recap: From Bloody Scene, a mid-round roasting session on her opponent amongst a gang of bruising punchlines just to add some levity to her turn and First Ladii Flamez proceeds to make easy work of a solid and gritty, but not nearly as potent Stace in this 1-rounder.

Verdict: First Ladii Flamez (W) 1-0

Favorite line: First Ladii Flamez – “You stupid fuck, why would you agree to be my speed bag?, been knew these punches mean, you just proved I got a clean jab!”

JC defeats First Lady Flamez

Recap: A much closer battle than what the URL ‘App Gang’ gave it, First Lady Flamez gives the JC all he can handle in this Kings vs. Queens 2 bout with a gang of wicked punchlines, sizzling gun bars, real street talk, some wily personals and stinging wordplay that stood out even more when you consider that Flamez not only stayed on her rugged bar game, but rarely, if ever, went for the sort of name flips or lines on her opponent’s past dance moves that have become the norm against JC. Still, while Flamez was her usual gangsta self, an ever boastful JC, for the first two rounds anyway, sizzled throughout. The Pontiac, MI, vet utilizing a wide array of eerie darts laced with expiration dates, blistering personals, mayhem-rich punchlines, stifling gun bars and hitting name flips to earn the win over two pretty solid rounds by Flamez. That said, the Richmond, VA battler would get some payback with a sublime and punch-heavy 3rd round that beat back a dope, but slightly less consistent round from JC.

Verdict: JC (W) 2-1

Favorite line: JC – “All you have in this world is your name, Flamez…and you gonna melt in it!”

First Ladii Flamez defeats Viixen The Assassin


Recap: Fire battle between the versatile/punch-heavy Viixen the Assassin and a gun/wordplay-lit First Ladii Flamez ends up–after the two split the first two rounds (Flamez taking the 1st round, while Viixen edged the 2nd)–with a turned up Flamez saving her best round of the night with a resounding 3rd, a turn that saw the Richmond, VA, spitter shine throughout with top-notch lyrical efficiency that spouted haymaker after haymaker via gritty stylings, an effective change in cadence and piercing personals/punchlines to beat back another dope and angle-lit round from the Assassin, however this time with no kiss on the cheek necessary.

Verdict: First Ladii Flamez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: First Ladii Flamez – “Kindergarten vibe…I don;t draw nuthin’ but large 9’s!”

Fiirst Ladii Flamez defeats Robin Rhymes

Recap: Queen of the Ring 3-round battle between Fiirst Ladii Flamez and Robin Rhymes featured some hard-hitting punchlines, salacious personals, boastful barbs, righteous gun bars and plenty of Jakkboy Maine mentions. And while both ladies also suffered from a case of hiccups here and there, the battle itself stayed competitive with Rhymes attempting to make the case that she can flow just as nice as she looks, while Flamez, in full-pressed gangsta mode here, did pretty well for someone who reportedly battled on only 2 weeks prep. Round 2 is the difference maker however what with a punch-heavier Flamez taking round 1, while Rhymes, in part due to her opponent struggling with her flow, took round 2. That said, despite a dope turn from Robin, a more condensed and rebuttal-lit Flamez gets the edge here in the middle round for the win.

Verdict: Fiirst Ladii Flamez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Fiirst Ladii Flamez – “…Flamez ain’t lady like, facts, but I’d rather be respected on 10 toes than just admired on my back!”

First Ladi Flamez defeats Rainee The Rebel

Recap: In this mayhem-drenched and personal 1-rounder from Body Bag Battle League, First Ladi Flamez’s scintillating wordplay, fierce braggadocio/pointed raps and heavier punchlines/schemes gets her past an effective and punch-heavy, but less potent effort from Rainee the Rebel.

Verdict: First Ladi Flamez (W) 1-0

Favorite line: First Ladi Flamez – “I’m cut different, type to get mad and start head-butting the tough bitches!”

Fiirst Ladii Flamez and Coffee Brown [DEBATABLE]

Recap: Fiirst Ladii Flamez and Coffee Brown both step up to the plate with their A-games, making for a spitfire match on this URL/QOTR Banned Legacy card. The ever-aggressive and earnest Coffee brought the heat throughout the battle, using a barrage of steely trap talk, piercing personals/gun bars, dope set-ups, boastful barbs, greasy punchlines and a couple of hitting rebuttals in round 3 to flex her versatility. On the other side of the stage, a more condensed Flamez kept the crown rocking with continually hitting wordplay, head-ringing punches, rich mayhem, salacious personals, rigid name flips and stifling (“You believe in God right? well hell let’s even shit up, test my gangsta and I test your faith and feed you the pump!”) heaters. A close bout throughout, after a debatable 1st round, a slightly more versatile and haymaker-lit Flamez took the 2nd round before Coffee, helped by those fire aforementioned rebuts, took the 3rd for a draw.

Verdict: Debatable

Favorite line: Coffee Brown – “Your nigga say cook something, she was thinking Mexican, probably made him a burrito, my nigga said cook something I was thinking Mexico…came back with a Kilo!”

Ash-Lee defeats Fiirst Ladi Flamez

Recap: Not that the gritty semantics of Ash-Lee didn’t deliver a solid and punch-heavy at times turn. But Fiirst Ladii Flamez’ more intricate bars/wordplay and stinging name flips/multi’s clearly had her beat…if not for the flow-challenged Flamez’s giving up and choking away her round in this 1-rounder from The Zoo Battle League.

Verdict: Ash-Lee (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Fiirst Ladi Flamez – “You think I care about you coming out here and giving it your best?, Bitch, I’m your fight of the year, you only here so I could work on my left!”

First Ladi Flamez defeats Niesey Brown

Recap: Flexing throughout with lofty braggadocio bars, stinging wordplay, potent personals and salacious punchlines/gun bars, First Ladi Flamez turns this 1-rounder versus a solid and gritty, but too oft-pedestrian Niesey Brown, into an easy vic.

Verdict: First Ladi Flamez (W) 1-0

Favorite line: First Ladi Flamez – “Snap if you choose to, you gonna get a different clip, bunch of bad selfies, that means I dump ’em all then switch the grip!”

Fiirst Ladii Flamez defeats Jade

Recap: The first female Proving Grounds battle between Fiirst Ladii Flamez and Jade is a dope one as Flamez’s sizzling wordplay, aggressive mayhem and intricate punchlines when matched up against the witty personals and brazen punches from Jade, made for 3 spitfire rounds. A pretty solid, but shortened turn by Jade in round 1 gets beats a more haymaker-lit round from Flamez. And while Jade upped her ring time, versatility, personal game and bar efficiency in round 2, Flamez’s shrewd darts, stifling gun bars and rich set-ups edges her the round and gets the Fiirst Ladii the win before a slightly more hitting Jade edges what was a fire-on-both-sides 3rd to avoid the shutout.

Verdict: Fiirst Ladii Flamez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Fiirst Ladii Flamez – “Prosthetics with me, that’s just for kickbacks and all kind’s of grips, you’ll get beat with whatever’s in reach, like when ya momma’s pissed!”

Fiirst Ladii Flamez defeats King Tanyhill

Recap: Damn, now why she had to do him like that? Spazzing on her opponent with everything from piercing punchlines to fiery name flips to boastful darts to rigid mayhem to salacious personals, a consistently spicy Fiirst Ladii Flamez hammers out a 30 on a King Tanyhill, who despite a gritty, versatile and earnest effort, just couldn’t keep up with Flamez’s consistent heat in this 3-rounder from Body Bag Battle League.

Verdict: Fiirst Ladii Flamez (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Fiirst Ladii Flamez – “Dome shot, have your brain on everything, don’t overthink it!”

Fiirst Ladii Flamez defeats Rozay Ro

Recap: Damn, the way Fiirst Ladii Flamez goes from calm, laid back mode while smoking a blunt to flicking on the switch and straight spazzing on you vocally with such flippant aggression is a sight to see. That said, Flamez would need all the heat she could bring with her as opponent Rozay Ro (in this fiery 3-rounder from BossChickTV) definitely came to compete with a brazen bag of flexing/witty punchlines/personals and solid name flips to boot. Still, for all of Ro’s persistent flexing, Flamez would beat her to the punch with consistently fire wordplay, piercing gun bars, righteous boasts and stinging 4-bar set-ups to earn the 30.

Verdict: Fiirst Ladii Flamez (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Fiirst Ladii Flamez – “See, your problem is, you actually thinking you safe, but a sheep don’t know it’s dinner till a wolf in its way!”

First Ladi Flamez defeats Airborn

Recap: After a pretty pedestrian 1st round that easily got upended by the more intricate and dizzying punches from First Ladi Flamez, an aggressive and hardbody Airborn stays in the mix with a wide load of bully bars/name flips and versatile urban shiners. But with a 2nd round rich on stifling punchlines and fire set-ups/gun bars coupled with a close, but slightly more condensed, in what overall was a pretty competitive battle, it’s still a well-earned 30 for Flamez.

Verdict: First Ladi Flamez (W) 3-0

Favorite line: First Ladi Flamez – “Maybe you’d prefer if I was palming the 5th, gun down your throat like I was testing your gag reflex!”

T White defeats First Ladi Flamez

Recap: Lots of gun bar residue, vigorous punchlines/schemes and fiery personals from C3-soundalike T White, but it’s mostly the fire name flips that gets her over in this CPBL 3-rounder versus a solid, gritty and aggressive, but gamely inconsistent with the heat First Ladi Flamez.

Verdict: T White (W) 2-1

Favorite line: T White – “My heart, the same size as a tank, with the same motor, I’ll grab this bitch by her throat and toss her…I’m a flamethrower!”

First Ladi Flamez defeats Fafi

Recap: A rapidly punching, name-flip leaning Fafi makes things close, but in this competitive battle from Supreme Rap League, one too many pedestrian bars from the Brooklyn battler along with a more hard-hitting, condensed, bullish and personal First Ladi Flamez allows the Richmond, VA, spitter to take the first couple of rounds and gain the win.

Verdict: First Ladi Flamez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: First Ladi Flamez – “You the type of bitch to yell ‘Squad’ like them nigger’s go, my killers real, I don’t gotta yell, ‘Go!’ is all they know!”

Fiirst Ladii Flamez defeats J.D. Storm

Recap: A boatload of lyrical stunting, righteous boasts, stickly gun bars and some downright mean personals dominate this “Saint Valentines Day Massacre” card matchup between Fiirst Ladii Flamez and J.D. Storm from Battleground Virginia. And while both battlers kept it close throughout the bout, a more consistently spicy and overall bar-heavier Flamez manages to edge each round for the 30.

Verdict: Fiirst Ladii Flamez (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Fiirst Ladii Flamez – “You look like you had an uncle who used to play with your cheeks!”
