Voted For: Sakim Aerias

Sakim Aerias: I love how you approached the topic as in terms of struggles black people go through and the sky being coloured by the coloured souls sent to heaven. Found an excellent balance in your vocab, might have been upped here and there but you managed to portray your message in vivid, powerful way. Imagery was amazing, I could really picture all the scenes you worded. The emotion was very strong, so raw and pure as well. It simply poured out, it's a very emotional topic (at least the way you interpretated it). Many still struggle with this today (not so much slavery but still the racism). The last part summed it all up, had your flow on lock too (some lines were bit stretched but it's all good). Nice piece!


Golden Dayz: you approached the topic in a very creative, never-done-before way which allowed you to fully take the imagery, however made you lack a bit of emotion. As I already stated, the imagery was at a high, you really portrayed the transition in such a vivid, clear way that I could see it flashing in front of my eyes like a movie. The emotion was good but not as strong as Sakim Aerias, you gave me a sense of melancholy, of sorrow, of regret. But I felt it was another sort of emotion, it wasn't a personal pure emotion but more a global feeling of:"damn why did it change?". Vocab was equally good as well as the flow, you had bit better flow though in my opinion. Strongest aspect was creativity, flow and imagery.

Tough battle to decide on but I'ma go for Sakim Aerias because I'm feeling his approach a bit more but Golden Dayz, ain't got nothing but love for you!
