Recap: Well, at least Vodka kept it entertaining as the confident, but mostly inconsistent Philly rapper (who seemed more prepared for a stand-up comedy show than a rap battle) made for some guffaws here and there with a steady stream of jokes and sandwich diaries. Too bad for Vodka tho as Cortez actually came to rap and that he did in this 1-rounder from The Battle Academy, using a blistering round of witty barbs, righteous name flips/personals, fire wordplay and dope punchlines to easily take the win.
Verdict: Cortez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Cortez – “I mean what am I supposed to do with Vodka?, it’s proven Vodka…you never gonna touch the Smack stage because there’s nothing about you that’s Exclusive [Exclusiv] Vodka!”
