4-year-old Woodhaven,
Queens native Crimz has
been a been a battler for
over 13 years and a fan
even before then. In 2013, Crimz
decided to make the foray into the
realm of professional battling, taking
on opponents such as Mo Mula,
Boy Trill, Phatz, Remedy Loco and
Timeless. Beyond battling, Crimz
also shoots video for popular battle
rap vlogger QueenzFlip and is a
recording artist, currently working on
an EP entitled “Crimz M.A.D (Music
And Drugs)”. According to Crimz,
his battle rap goals align with three
simple objectives: views, recognition
and respect.
Brooklyn-born Black Inc. began
battling in high school lunchrooms,
where beats we’re constructed
from the stomping of the feet and
banging of the lunchroom tables;
a competitive environment where
young, emerging lyricists vie for
respect and bragging rights. Never
one to stray far from his roots, Black
Inc. still revels in a fierce sense of
competition. Black inc. made his
professional debut at the first-ever
Counselor Presents 16 Bars Battle
Rap League competition, and
has since battled the likes of Zo
Green, Black Beard, Barz Mcvay
and HollaLuyah Jonez. Black sites
an unorthodox approach and
unpredictability as his hallmarks.

nspired by the battles featured
on countless SMACK DVDs,
PIFF has been battling
since his high school days.
“I loved the way they used to
rock a crowd without a beat, so I
emulated them. I continue to battle
because I love the crowd reaction;
whether it’s boos or cheers, it’s a
wonderful feeling.” PIFF made
his professional debut on the 16
Bars Battle Rap League, and has
taken on opponents like Millz,
True Maserati and Zeus the God. In
addition to an upcoming battle on
the Halloween Havoc 2 card, PIFF
is currently prepping a mixtape
entitled “Pardon the Interruption”.
