Next up is the Academy 2020 final between Scotland’s Slester and Jester Black, (aka The Villain), who travelled over 20 hours from Ireland. Jester Black & Slester – Pic: John Bolloten Jester Black vs Slester Bizzo ultimately came with a bit more variation and control, taking rounds one and two.īest bar: “You say the same shit every battle, crowd starting to snooze / Ironic a hotel manager can’t take charge of a room” Sam Hypes, R2 There’s also a great line “When I kill you there won’t be a lonelier sight, it’s known as a fact / Schrödinger’s cat, when I put you in a box they won’t even know if you died”, though it sounds familiar. Bizzo fights back, saying Sam’s real surname ‘Freeman’ would be more fitting because he has “no bars or conviction”. His hardest bars are in this round, such as: “Before you ask, Rorschach’s mask / I’m represented by the ink”. He rebuttals the video battle angle by stating his pay-out but it doesn’t quite come across as a rhyme, though proving he can think on his feet. He takes the piss out of Sam’s many appearances in video battle tournaments, even acting a fake phone call to Sam’s wife.īy Sam’s third, his structure and pacing has got a bit repetitive, although he’s really firing with some of his best lines. Bizzo’s second was his lightest, (as he admits), but still has plenty of solid bars. He also shifts to incorporate humour, mocking Bizzo’s TikTok cover songs. There’s a nice The Boys scheme and another decent name-flip in “Briggzy hit me up like, ‘Yo, you’ve got Bond to body’, like symbiosis”. Sam starts his second by flipping the fact that Bizzo is wearing a shirt with his name on, which earns a good laugh. This is where we hear the first proper reactions from the small crowd. He punches more frequently than Sam, with more wordplay and variety in rhyme schemes. Bizzo takes a slower pace, letting bars ruminate and land with the audience. He comes with a lot of Bond name-flips, with a highlight being: “You’ll see me break down bond like the friendship’s over”. Sam Hypes starts, he’s very much an MC in the traditional sense, where he’d look comfy in a dark rave with a mic in his hand. Both battlers are Academy 2018 alumni, with this being their first ‘mainstage’ performance. The event begins with a Lancashire derby.
