Mr. Beatz Rapathon Footage

Many of you know that I was a part of this year's 3rd Annual Rapathon that took place at the Hip Hop Cultural Center in Harlem and went on for 26 hours. This is the footage of me rocking throughout the time that my team was on stage. Shout out to my homie Optometrist who hooked up the footage for this:

Return to the Boombox Radio Exclusive Freestyle

Here's an exclusive freestyle I spit when I was a guest on the Return to the Boombox radio show last week. Shout out to my brother from another, Jeff Strange, John Black and Black Knight. I had mad fun with those cats!

The Nicest Freestyle MCs

This is one talk that I've had with a few cats that definitely gets a lot of different results. Those who know me know that freestyling is something that I love doing (especially on stage) and hearing from other MCs who are dope at it. A lot of people attempt it, but there is a very small few who are great at it. I always feel that possessing this type of skill gives any MC the power to rip any crowd. Also, I feel I need to mention this...when I say the word "FREESTYLE", I'm talking about rhyming off the head and spitting what's never been heard or written down that's on your mind at that given moment. I am NOT referring to so-called "freestyles" like the ones you see on mixtapes. No offense to those cats, but that is NOT freestyling and needs to be called something else in my opinion. Spitting an exclusive written verse over someone else's known beat does not make that a freestyle lol. Some of the BEST freestylers I've heard are (in no particular order):

Supernatural
Juice
Jin
Wordsworth
Breezevahflowin
Craig G
Eyedea
Common
Iron Solomon
Rabbi Darkside
Why-G

These are just a few MCs that immediately come to mind when I think of cats who I've heard spit off the head that literally made me be like, "damn!". I'm sure there are more, but those are the few who come to mind at this moment. Who are some of the illest freestylers you've heard????
