...water? I’ve got a hot mouth,” quipped Blackwelder between rounds. But his rhymes weren’t hot enough for the judges. He was bested by Lombardo in the final round. The three rounds of competition were separated by several performances of dance, spoken word, and beatbox. A competitor in last year’s battle, Lev A. Shaket ’10 returned this year to deliver an original rap. Akrobatik, a Boston rapper whose 2005 album was selected as one of Rolling Stone’s top 50 records of that year...

...their trucks, not a single driver had heard of the changes. "It seems like they're doing it very quietly," says Monica Jimenez, whose family has been in the taco truck business for 25 years. "They didn't announce it." Jimenez's family is one of dozens who have spoken to an attorney about challenging the new law on the grounds that it violates the state vehicle code, which says that sales from mobile caterers can only be regulated for public safety.
