2011 LA GRAND SLAM FINALS RECAP

It was crazy. The poets went balls deep. Our special guest host, Javon Johnson kept it crunk. Our DJ, Tamara Blue kept us gyrating in our seats between poems. The audience was live. And when it was all said and done, the judges had the final say. Thank you to lovers of Brass Knuckles, everyone who supported all season long, our judges, hosts, and most of all, slammers!

Congratulations to Judy Holiday who dethroned last year's Grand Slam Champion, Nikki Blak with a final cumulative score of 88.1!!! It was such an exciting night! Though we hated to see the poets who were eliminated as the slam went on have to leave us, we sure are happy for the ones who made it through. Here are the final scores of the night:

Judy Holiday 88.1

Nick Macedo 87.3

Francois 86.8

Mr. Poetic 86.4

Edwin Bodney 86.2

2nd Semi Final Bout RECAP

Last night was the second (and very last) of 2 Semi Final Bouts to determine this year's finalists for the 2011 LA Slam Team. The crowd was hype and the gloves were off. In the end, Francios (who made it to Semis last year) was crowned the evening's king with a cumulative score of 84.9. We'll see him in finals, along with the following poets:

Madison 84.4

Manuel 83.8

Ashley 82.9

Judy Holiday 82.1

It's been fun, no? Well, the party ain't over! Join us for the grand finale of this year's slam season. We're talking 10 poets, 5 slots, 1 Los Angeles Grand Slam Champion, and the formation of a sexy ass team. Don't miss it.
