Dash Flash – “Bars On I-95 Freestyle” (Video)

The I-95 freestyles are golden with me. I click to watch and start my write-up before the raps even get started, because I already know the BARZ are gonna be there and be top shelf. Truly, everybody can’t make the cut to reach rarefied air in Connecticut.

Bars On I-95, Connecticut’s number 1 Rap platform for your favorite Hip-Hop artists. We love when veterans come on our platform and show the new guys how to get it done over a beat. What we love the most is scouting and discovering new rappers and we are always honored to be able to display their talent to the Hip-Hop community so the industry gets familiar with them. “When are you going to have a Spanish rapper up there?” One of the dope things about Hip-Hop is it’s versatility, it touches all cultures. We caught that comment and called Dash Flash down to the show and he got busy. TAP IN ‼️
– Bars On I-95

Only thing I take issue with… sorta… is the shots fired in the general direction of over-30 rappers in this. But young lions take bites out the backs of the old sires to take over as king of the pride. It’s treacherous in the jungle, even for the kings! It’s Hip-Hop.

Arsonal Da Rebel | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #139 (Video)

My disrespect be on some other sh!t…

Now, if Arsonal did a diss track on you, you would KNOW you have been DISSED! Barz can get treacherous (and they do). Funk Flex had to fall back, again! This is what he must mean when he says “everybody can’t come up here!”

Dzydex Speaks On Becoming A Producer & A Man On Odell’s Roundtable (Video)

I mean, I am more of a producer… a behind-the-scenes kind of guy more than on-camera talent. However, I get tempted to get interviewed every time I watch Odell do one of his guest intros. The props he gives are tops!

A lot of times the main person that can hold you back from Greatness is yourself. When I recently had Dzydex on the show he spoke about how he has grown as a music producer. He is well traveled living in places all over the world as a military brat. His production has caught the eyes and attention of people like Joe Kay of Soulection to being used for Adiddas ads in London. We talked about how he has built the relationships in this music and life game and what drives him to push forward. Check out his music at http://www.kolossuskulture.com and if this provides value to you please subscribe to the Channel & share with a friend!

Locksmith Speaks And Spits For Hip-Hop Culture… And Fellow Guests Fat Joe & Dre Are Amazed (Video)

Your favorite rapper is full of sh!t.

Quiet as kept, Fat Joe doesn’t give out this level of insanity props to just any emcee. I’m thinking… the last time he really gave out kudos like he was flabbergasted… was when he talked about Big Pun. Rarefied air. Props well deserved for Locksmith. Dude is a BEAST with the BAR talk!

But don’t take my word. Watch and listen to the man spit the FIRE from above.

We’re not new to Locksmith’s bars — but he came by to drop off a fire freestyle with Dre and Fat Joe in the room. Watch as Joe adds his seal of approval by calling him “the best.”

Drink Champs: Irv Gotti (Video)

It’s Murrrrderrrr… Actually, nah. It’s The HNIC of The INC aka Irv Gotti. Saying what he wanna say (under cover of ‘the influence’… blame it on the a-a-alcohol… HA!) to the Drink Champs!

On today’s episode Drink Champs chop it up with legendary record executive, C.E.O. and co-founder of Murder Inc., Irv Gotti. A fellow DC Alumni, we welcome back Irv Gotti as he shares classic Hip-Hop stories, of his personal Hip-Hop journey.

Irv takes us on a ride through hip-hop history as he shares stories of working with a young JAY Z, being introduced to the Ruff Ryders, working with Ja Rule and forming the group Murder Inc., a super group composed of Ja Rule, DMX & JAY Z.

As Irv expresses his displeasure, with the disconnection in Hip-Hop between the young and older generation, Irv Gotti and The Champs discuss establishing a Hip-Hop union. And Irv shares the story of how a Hip-Hop union was almost created between J. Prince, Suge Knight and himself.

An episode filled with lots of Hip-Hop history and gems from an icon in the game, Irv Gotti also shares his vision behind his hit television show “Tales” and much more!

Oh. And bet money, real money out of your real pockets, that you will NOT regret hanging in there through the loud talk to get to Irv’s real talk about Ashanti (about an hour-and-a-half in). Serious.
