Louis Briggz AKA "Bison Briggz" Interview (2022): The Halcyon Show
8My interview with Louis Briggs AKA "Bison Briggz".
A man synonymous with, and a cornerstone of the battle rap scene, a veteran battler and musician, he has across the world for numerous promotions such as The Battle Lab, Don't Flop, Got Beef? and for the Rap battle League he co-founded "Premier Battles".
Premier Battles has risen to become arguably the most exciting league in the UK, and as co-owner and promoter Bison Briggz has overseen a period of great difficulty due to COVID, but also a period of impressive growth.
Debuting on the 11th January 2018 with their first announcement video on YouTube they have generated millions of views, tens of thousands of fans, and featured not only some of the most prominent and famous battlers from the 2010s in what many refer to as the golden age of battle rap, but also some of the most promising and talented new comers in the scene.
Great production, slick presentation, polished hosting, interesting concept of teams/factions of rappers competing adding a wider competitive aspect are just some of the reasons you need to check them out.
He is also a member of rap group Mosh Team with a number of fellow rappers and battlers, including Unanymous and Shotty Horroh. Briggzy's only other battle outside of the aforementioned leagues was a 2v2 on The Battle Lab, where he partnered up with Innuendo and battled popular Canadian battlers Osa and Loe Pesci, however the majority of the battle's footage was damaged and unrecoverable.
His single Runnin was released on 18/07/2018 and is available via Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Runnin-Bison-Briggz/dp/B07F8ZKBKK
