4-IZE – “Livin Proof†(Freestyle) [Video]
January 24, 2019
Duuuuude!
I have BEEN wishing 4-IZE would touch that “Livin Proof” beat from Group Home. Preemo production with a dope azz emcee on it? C’monnnn, sonnn! I haven’t heard or seen anything this dope since when my brother BoneBreaker Jones blessed it.
The beat deserves the dopest and wittiest barz on it. Thank you, Bro4!
(Dug something up for y’all after the jump, too. Can’t believe I never got around to sharing… until now.

Token – “2019 Sway In The Morning Freestyle” (Video)
January 18, 2019
Token has been through the Sway In The Morning set. They know he is a lyrical hyena! Think he eases back because the pressure is off? Shiiiiiid! If you think that, you don’t know Token. Passionate, aggressive neck-snapping rapping on deck! Watch.
(You might get a little choked up at the end. Fair warning.)

January 18, 2019
4-IZE winds down the week with another freestyle over a classic Wu banger. Cash Rules… yeah, yeah, yeah… but what in the Erykah Badu boyfriend fashion is the homie wearing in this clip?? Hahaaa! 4-IZE is certifiably crazy, y’all. But his barz stay up to par though. So he’s alright with us!
Trash Rules Everything Around Me / clean up the country – time to keep it real y’all…

January 15, 2019
Maaaan, if you are gonna do 100 freestyles, may as well make the 100th go over a classic Wu track. But which one? The one GZA & Method Man got down on? That “Shadowboxin” jawn? Better be good then 4-IZE…
(Spoiler Alert: It. Is. DOPE!)

Don’t we stay posting on Termanology? Didn’t we just post a Locksmith joint? Stuff like this TeamBackPack vid is why we’ll keep doing it. Hip-Hop will never die.

One of the last team backpack cyphers on this channel and we are grateful for it. Produced by the ever-evolving sounds of Jimmy Dukes. This one is def a cypher for the history books.

It’s always an honor when Locksmith comes in this building.

IDK – “Tim Westwood Freestyle†(Video)
December 28, 2018
Let’s get right to the barz, son. Because YES! And the level of confidence on this IDK guy… ‘best rapper under 30 years old’ he proclaims. Watch him go off on Tyler The Creator’s “Yonkers” beat and judge for yourself.

4-IZE – “Paul Revere†(Freestyle) [Video]
December 25, 2018
Okay. Bro4 (yeah, that’s what I’m calling 4-IZE now) doing justice to one of my favorite all-time rap beats would be enough, but the comedy/wit he infuses with the barz… genius! Comic genius at some points. Just dope. So DOPE!

December 21, 2018
Home field advantage for Black Thought to do a live performance of his “Conception” joint on ‘The Tonight Show’… with The Roots being the house band for Jimmy Fallon and all. That said, it is still a hella banging set!
(And Thought broke out into the Marvin Gaye riff at the end. DOPE!)

A-Boogie | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #120 (Video)
December 20, 2018
Okay, so we finally hear it from A-Boogie. Now we know for certain that opportunity for bar spitters to hop on a track, that Flex has been talking up, with him is authentic. Pretty decent barz on this ep. Watch and see if you agree, but I think he channeled Dej Loaf on that ‘Try Me’ style change-up in this. Listen for it.
Interesting.
