Official Battle Result
The event is the Pen Game Rap Battles Season 1 Final, featuring a highly anticipated matchup between Bigga and Aymuni. The panel of hosts unanimously concluded that Bigga won the clash with a clean 3-0 victory. While Aymuni was praised for his lyricism and had strong support from commenters leading up to the final, Bigga secured the win through superior consistency, performance, and stage presence across all three rounds.
Bigga dominated the battle through strong vocal projection, poise, and extreme believability. The hosts compared his commanding delivery to a "sergeant" and noted that he looked completely confident in what he was saying. Instead of simply reciting lyrics, Bigga slowed his pacing down to directly "talk to a man," giving his rounds a conversational but highly intimidating weight.
Lyrical Themes: Commanding delivery, believability, intimidation.
Aymuni's biggest downfall was his lack of conviction and projection. The hosts felt he failed to match Bigga's physical presence, noting that in a final, you have to show you aren't threatened by getting into your opponent's space. Furthermore, Aymuni rapped far too fast, choosing to rush through his material as if he were just reading it in his head rather than actually performing it for the room.
Lyrical Themes: Fast pace, lack of conviction.
Thematic Consistency
Bigga anchored his rounds with a consistent storyline and theme, ensuring that his technical bars made cohesive sense. His strong vocal projection even drew comparisons to the energetic deliveries of UK artists Casisdead and Big Zuu.
Flow Swaps
Aymuni showcased technical versatility by utilizing different cadences, including a fast-paced delivery that the hosts identified as a classic "Wiley flow". However, the speed of this flow actively worked against him in the battle format.
"Your soul's not here I'm battling deeper yo I thought they told you I thought you knew I could've been breaking that bars free the guys would do that when the cruise back feel me rasta mountain gun finger you that name"
Bigga establishes his aggressive, street-oriented persona. He claims to battle 'deeper' than just words, moving past traditional rap and connecting directly to real-world street consequences with references to 'gun fingers' and 'rasta mountain'.
"By the end of this you'll be disfigured forensic team take pictures now got the same thoughts as a cid looking at you like stupid little niggas I make money out doing what I do allegedly allegedly"
This paints a highly vivid, cinematic picture of violence. Mentioning 'forensic teams' and 'CID' (Criminal Investigation Department) grounds the threat in harsh reality, ending with a cheeky 'allegedly' to blur the line between rap entertainment and actual criminal activity.
"Let me get on my good-ish oh some good-ish I gotta give jimmy boy back that peace fuck what happened with my man god it's been more than weeks"
Aymuni attempts to set a new, confident pace with a trademark flow switch. He leans into an conversational swagger, though this specific sequence was later critiqued by Bigga for borrowing too heavily from other artists' flows ('bad sportsmanship').
"I've got horn goal texting she's been calling every week she got big back with little titties she looks like a freak weed I might allah at reeks and sleep in the sheets"
Aymuni pivots away from direct battle aggression to boastful storytelling. This fast-paced, multi-syllabic rhyme scheme serves as a technical flex, aiming to show he can out-rap his opponent on a purely lyrical and structural level.
"That's a whole airport oh you don't know what's going on there none of that shit makes me fearful I saw believing god I could not fear you you're gonna get gone in buzz I'll be honest I am not careful"
Aymuni directly addresses Bigga's imposing presence. By invoking 'God' and stating he 'could not fear you', Aymuni tries to neutralize Bigga's primary weapon—his intimidating aura and believability.
"The title was there hey to me this sounds like my wind been final you can't talk your shit with me go through the untitled"
This bar operates on a meta-level regarding the battle itself. As the Season 1 Final, Aymuni references 'the title' and 'final', asserting his absolute confidence that the championship is already his.
"Don't need to come across rude my green and I'm heading home you don't want to let it go and I'll be honest with you I don't think that you'll let go because if you wanted to let it go my brother you let it go"
Aymuni slows down his flow to deliver a more conversational, psychological jab. The repetitive use of 'let it go' creates a rhythmic trap that paints his opponent as stubborn and clinging to a lost cause.
Laurie John-Phillip, better known as Bigga, was charged with the murder of rapper Hypo in June 2022, as well as possession of a bladed article. He was later acquitted at the Old Bailey in August 2023, with the case centring on whether the fatal stabbing was murder or an act of self-defence. Hypo, whose real name was Lamar Jackson, was a prominent figure within the Mashtown collective and a close associate of artists such as Margs and Asco. However, following the charge, he was no longer featured by the platform. Although he was ultimately acquitted, Bigga has not returned to Pen Game, and his association with the league appears to have ended in the aftermath of the case.
