Congratulations are in order for Jaz the Rapper after she was crowned the best female battle rapper of the year at Champion’s “Woman of the Year” awards.
The Brooklyn native won the coveted title after a year where she battled more than any other time in her career. Jaz proved she’s an elite competitor in five clashes this year, including a debatable battle with 3 x “Champion of the Year” Geechi Gotti.
In light of Champion releasing their “Woman of the Year” list for 2022, we wanted to compare it to ours, like with their Champion of the Year.
In their Top 5, the AllHipHop.com list has the same emcees Top 3 ladies. Seems like the AHH fans might know a little something. While Champion and the WOTY judges included Casey Jay and 40 B.A.R.R.S., we included Shooney Da Rapper and Viixen the Assassin. The Face of Female battle rap and the Boston emcee did make a lower ranking in the Top 20 on our superlatives.
1. Jaz the Rapper
2. Ms. Hustle
3. C3
4. Shooney Da Rapper
5. Viixen the Assassin
In their Top 6 to 10, they had Viixen the Assassin, Kausion, Yoshi G, Pristavia, and Shooney Da Rapper. When looking at our Top 10, AllHipHop.com, we only have two from 6 to 10.
We had Kausion and Yoshi G in the same 7th and 8th spots, respectively. But our fans had Pristavia at the 10th spot. Casey Jay was in their Top 5. Additional to our list in this section is Bonnie Godiva, who comes in above Pristavia in the 9th spot.
Fans voted to have Shooney far higher than the WOTY panel in our poll. She secured 4th place on the AllHipHop.com list, whereas she finished in 10th place on the Champion list following a heated debate.

While the fans did not vote them in the Top 20, their skillset, drive, and performance ability simply could not be overlooked by our team.
Jaz The Rapper’s WOTY Haul
The WOTY panel also gave out acknowledgments for Round of the Year, Battle of the Year, and Body of the Year. Jaz the Rapper swept everything. The Battle of the Year is the Bardashians vs. Shooneral, a battle we considered one of the biggest moments of the year.

Kausion finished 5th in Best Breakout Rappers of the Year, the highest-ranked female artist on the list.
Five of these exceptional talents proved they are also firm fan favorites, making our Top 20 Favorite/ Preference Battle Rappers of the Year. Jaz the Rapper (3), Shooney Da Rapper (10), C3 (12), Viixen Da Assassin (14), and Ms. Hustle (16).
Casey Jay was also recognized in the 10 Most Impactful Moments or Movements of the Year for her impressive upset over Mr. Disrespect, Arsonal.
