Emerging rapper Cez has officially released his new single “Battle Tested” — a diss track accompanied by a no-frills music video, aimed squarely at fellow artist 8 Zipp. The track, now available on YouTube and across major streaming platforms.
The video’s YouTube description leaves little to interpretation:
“No sneak disses. Just straight pressure. If you followed 226 Gramz, you already know what this is. This ain’t a response. It’s a kill shot. Battle Tested is what happens when you push the wrong one.”
On Instagram, Cez teased the release earlier this week, posting snippets with captions like “Last slide got some heat in it 😈 NEW VIDEO ‘Battle Tested’ Out Now” and “No debate — I dropped the hardest diss of the year. Or am I trippin? Y’all tell me 👀.”
Cez made it clear in his social media captions that “Battle Tested” is a direct diss aimed at 8 Zipp, referring to it as “the hardest diss of the year.” The single arrives with bold energy and uncompromising bars, backed by a music video that reinforces its confrontational tone.
Whether “Battle Tested” signals the start of a larger back-and-forth or stands alone as a statement piece remains to be seen — but for supporters tapped into the underground beefs bubbling under the surface, Cez’s latest entry doesn’t hold back.
