Recap: Even tho he clearly overhyped some of his “Bars!” throughout, against the mostly basic lines and head-scratching spiels from Arcane, it’s Cortez, who after overwhelming his opponent in round one, has just enough jokes and personals to edge the second and hang in there for a dub, in what was otherwise a pretty lackluster battle.
Verdict: Cortez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Cortez – “He’s alright, he can craft lyrics and punchlines, he’s so nice, I asked him who’s favorite rapper? he don’t bite, Jay-Z, what a coincidence, he don’t write”
