Recap: It’s battles this like where just when you think he’s falling off Cortez reminds you of why he belongs in the top tier. Consistent with the aggression, spitting humbling (“Honestly you like the can, you’d suck a mean cock for a loosie and a Sprite but damn, he play for the D, ain’t that a coincidence he likes to Ram?, that’s why faggots get cut quicker than Michael Sam”) jokes, punchlines, gritty gun bars and confident with his (“I’m quick to get it shaking outside the ring, Freddie Roach”) metaphors and heavy wordplay, Cortez takes out Young Kannon, who brought plenty of (“Hell you beat Tek and Ill on Smack, but then the Vault 3-0’d you!”) heat, nicely rebutted Tez’s lines about that spelling error (“I left the ‘L’ off the shirt so I could give to you”) in his blog and spit some dope schemes with his usual moxie, but overall overplayed some angles/themes and failed to match his opponent’s efficiency and sharp assortment of bars.
Verdict: Cortez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Cortez – “You, you just need to grind, your career?, it stays here, there’s no peak [just] decline, what the fuck I gotta spell it out?, oh he don’t see the signs?, well, it’s obvious, even Floyd could read between the lines”
