Recap: With a live band behind them, Cortez and Bilzar battle on a beat for 3 entertaining rounds, whiel riding each beat almost to a tee (esp. the speed-rapping Bilzar in the 1st round while adeptly free-styled over the “Big Pimping” beat in the 3rd). After a debatable round 1, a punch-heavier Bilzar took the 2nd before Cortez came back with a more steady flowing 3rd to take the round and earn a tie.
Verdict: Debatable
Favorite line: Bilzar – “I’m the best they could find, you just the best they could get!”
