Recap: In a one-rounder versus S.O.N,S.’ Heartless, Tez combines some mean (“Talking about he real, this nigga frail, how you gonna father figure you rep the SONS and hang with a Con that never been to jail!”) personals with animated schemes and gay (“When you and your man hug, you look like y’all doing a two-way back pocket check!”) riffs to make it close. But Heartless’ punchline-heavy arsenal doesn’t just pack plenty of (“My gun got a body on it like a piggyback ride!”; “If you think you winning tonight, nigga you dumb as fuck, oh wait this nigga came from the D, this nigga must be nuts!”) heat, but a couple of (“Nigga, I’ll aim at his brain, blew the Tek, got rid of all of the stuffy nose like Mucinex!”) in his nose like haymakers that had the home crowd gawking and a more consistent delivery that while making ti look easy, was simply what you’d expect from an able vet.
Verdict: Heartless (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Heartless – “If he say something wrong, I’m slapping him, that’s because I’m a man and I stand for something like an acronym”
