Recap: Delivery and composition. That’s the main difference here as both Cortez (“Lyrically, I feel like I’m Drake when I’m inside booths, ‘cuz no matter what Quentin writes, I’m still gonna be cakin’ off my Views!”; “You told you the plug G, I said I wanted smoke, and this here is what you front me?!, a QP from Cali that’s homegrown and it comes cheap!”) and QP (“Cross me and get beat [bead] up on some rosary shit!”) brought some hot bars and excellent wordplay to this one-round battle from HomegrownBGCT. However, it’s QP’s lack of preparation–at least 3 slip-ups, substandard interchanges from Qleen Paper and some other dude and a hit-or-miss freestyle game–and Tez’s steady flow structure that hands the kid from Brooklyn an easy win.
Verdict: Cortez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: QP – “I said how you say Cortez in Spanish, nigga?…Uno Lavos!”
