Recap: From Takeova Battle League, against a boastful and gritty but mostly pedestrian Reed Dollaz, Cortez gamely mixes a gang of hard street themes, versatile name flips, stinging punchlines, righteous personals (esp. in the final round) and fiery gun bars to land more haymakers and handily take (call round 2 debatable) rounds 1 and 3 of this fierce 3-rounder for the win.
Verdict: Cortez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Cortez – “Dollaz ain’t SNAP on no card, it’s a government shutdown!”
