Local Student Almost Joins Union Square Freestyle Battle

“I was right there. I mean, I totally could have done it. I just didn’t,” comments 20 year old English major Bryce Bilmont, after stopping in Union Square last night to view a community rap battle. “I was on my way somewhere, so I couldn’t stay for long, but standing there, I knew I could have done it,” reports Bryce, an avid Eminem fan and occasional rhymer. “Me and my friends, Zack and Tanner, we battle all the time. Usually in Tanner’s basement.” “Yeah, I saw that guy there. With the NYU hoodie and backpack? Yeah, he watches us from time to time. Always looks nervous, like he’s got to go to the bathroom,” comments rapper PlatiNum, long time rapper, recent Denny’s manager.
