ACE & VIS - WORLD CUP 16 GRAND FINAL

Today was the grand final of the 'Ace & Vis World Cup 16' rap tournament.

MCs representing nations in the football World Cup have been going head-to-head to see which MC can spit the best 16-bar freestyle and become the Ace & Vis World Cup 16 Champion!

We started off with 8 teams (Brazil, Denmark, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Nigeria, South Africa, USA)...

... and we're now down to the last 2...

SOUTH AFRICA vs BRAZIL

Representing South Africa was Trenton Birch from the group Trenton & Free Radical
and repping Brazil was Aggro Santos.

Judging the Grand final we had F64 champion Black the ripper. He was in the studio deciding who he thought was worthy of taking the title.

It got very tense and it was very close. Listen back to the show to hear who won.

Ace & Vis' World Cup 16 - 1st Round: South Africa vs Germany

2010-06-19T17:49:32Z

As it's World Cup fever at the moment, we thought it was only right that we had a World Cup contest of our own. So a couple of weeks ago we decided to create the Ace & Vis World Cup 16.

Over the next four weeks on the show, we'll be pitting country against country. 8 MCs representing 8 of the football World Cup's nations will be going head-to-head to see which MC can spit the best 16-bar freestyle and become....

The Ace & Vis World Cup 16 Champion!

The countries taking part are Brazil, Ghana, USA, South Africa, Denmark, Germany, Nigeria and Mexico.

On last weekend's show, we had the live draw for the contest - and the teams that came out of the hat for today's first round match were....

South Africa and Germany

Repping for South Africa is Trenton Birch from the group Trenton & Free Radical

Repping for Germany is Green-T from the group ASM (A State of Mind)

Each MC recorded a 16-bar freestyle representing their country that both of us, Ace & Vis, judged.

We will each judged the freestyles based on three categories:
1. Flow
2. Lyrical content
3. Swagger (that's all about confidence, style, and finesse)

The Winner of the 1st round was Trenton Birch representing South Africa. He will go through to the Semi finals in 2 Weeks.

On today's breakfast show you heard what happened when I caught up with 2 of the stars from the controversial British comedy movie "Four Lions". Kayvan Novak & Riz MC from the movie talked about the new movie which they feature in which is out today, Kayvan's success with Fonejacker & Facejacker, and Riz MC's music career. Very funny and unpredictable interview,

Here's when me and Vis caught up with Fonejacker last year.
