Cocky son of a mother, right? Well, if he’s selling and getting racks and plaques AND spitting like this… Well, let’s just say it ain’t bragging if it’s true, son. Russ with the hot freestyle for the Funk Flex listenership. Check it.

Maino | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #104 (Video)
August 1, 2018
Maino got bars! And Flex got apologies for anyone ‘in their feelings’ who got hurt by them (guess they can still go dance over and ask ‘KeKe’ if she loves them though). HAAA!
They cracked the fourth wall and dropped the facade of ‘off top’ rhyming for this freestyle presentation (letting us see the ‘bloopers’), but still pretty good #ItsYourMain #MainoStillGotIt

Chris Rivers x ANoyd x Oswin Benjamin x Shawn Smith – “Banned From TV 2018” (Video)
August 1, 2018
New school paying tribute… with dope rhymes like it should be!
Paying homage to Noreaga’s classic solo debut album, Heather B brought up the idea of bringing some new hyenas to the forefront to re-create the classic single “Banned From TV.” The Sway In The Morning team paired some of the dopest lyricists out to slaughter this classic beat. The line up featured Oswin Benjamin, ANoyd, Shawn Smith and of course, Big Pun’s son, Chris Rivers.

Mad Squablz Doing A Barz Show For Statik Selektah’s Listeners (Video)
August 1, 2018
Thank you to manager/bro Don Henry and RESPEK on his name for dropping this HEAT from Mad Squablz directly into my inbox!
#MadSquablz just different than most young bulls, period!
Yep, I agree, Don. Squablz raps = Dope, like 2 + 2 = 4. Some FACTS are not up for debate! But in case you need more evidence, watch the emcee leaving Statik Selekt’s mic smoking in the clip above.

3D Na’Tee | I Get The Bag T.Mix | Monday Morning Exercise #018 (Video)
July 30, 2018
Na’Tee is the essence of “I Get The Bag” (so much so that she did the MME over the Gucci Mane beat this time).

Juice Wrld | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #101 (Video)
July 20, 2018
No offense… Nah f**k that, ALL OFFENSE!
Bwaahahaa! Okay, Juice Wrld got bars. Count this as one Flex rightfully passed the mic to. Says he’s coming off the top of the head in this clip. Respek on his name if that’s truly true. But I’m digging it either way!

3D Na’Tee | Slippin T.Mix | Monday Morning Exercise #020 (Video)
July 16, 2018
I’ll be damned if Na’Tee ain’t a sexy thang, and I’d put money up against anything betting on her lyrical skills. Plus this “Slippin” beat for DMX’s throwback joint was always a fave of mine on e’rythang! Lyrical perfection in the booth. Observe and take note.

3D Na’Tee | Cops Shot The Kid T.Mix | Monday Morning Exercise #028 (Video)
July 3, 2018
Been going back through Na’Tee MME videos in sort of a ‘Benjamin Buttons’ way (posting earlier and earlier vids as time moves on, and it’s been okay because dope don’t go stale)… But her going in over the new Nas beat… that goes up NOW!

That’s right. The G.O.D.M.C. Rakim Allah (and a full band) came through the intimate venue and gave a Tiny Desk Concert… to the world! And if you look close enough at the band, you might recognize some heavy hitters in there, too. Pure dopeness!

NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series Presents: Khalid (Video)
June 22, 2018
Can’t help but love the music. Can’t help but root for the singer. Well, here he is with an NPR Tiny Desk Concert. Khalid is here (above), so wait no longer… click that play button and reward your soul with music from a young spirit.
Khalid’s music narrates life’s awkwardly necessary moments: the butterflies of young love, the angst of craving freedom, the apprehension of teetering on that next step in life. He creates honest, comforting pop for teens and young adults that speaks to the kid in all of us. Accompanied only by acoustic guitarist Jef Villaluna, the 20-year-old sensation captured this fleeting fearlessness of youth and brought it to the Tiny Desk for a heartfelt serenade session. The way his voice glided calmly over the guitar notes, switching between baritone and tenor, was fitting given that he sings about teenage peaks and pitfalls. Khalid’s sense of wide-eyed yet humble wonder permeates through the entire set.
