Kano x Asher D x Sway x Scorcher | Top Boy Special | Prose N Percussion | Ep. 1 (Video)
December 24, 2019
BANGING! Gimme a late pass on this find… Better yet, someone find these folks and see if this is still going on over there across the Big Pond!
This is so back-to-the-essence. Only thing left to do after this is take it back to beating on lunchroom tables and rapping while unwrapping sandwiches with your mates #London #BeatOnDrums #SpitIntoMics
Ladies and gentlemen, SoulCulture TV is proud to present the first episode of our exciting new series Prose N Percussion.
Joining forces with the EXTREMELY talented drummer extraordinaire Pauli The PSM, the concept is simple fresh verses and a dope drum beat = Prose N Percussion. Simples!
We kick off episode one with a major special… Channel 4 kicked off the smash hit gritty urban drama series Top Boy on Monday which stars Ashley Walters aka Asher D, Kane Robinson aka Kano and Scorcher alongside guest appearances from Sway and more.
So we got Kano + Asher D + Sway + Scorcher together at the incredible Red Bull Studios London to trade bars back to back for your viewing pleasure. You ready? Lets go!!

Young M.A x Max YB x Korleone | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #138 (Part 2) [Video]
December 20, 2019
Never let the devil into your house… Facts!! But artists, YOU better get in and get it IN whenever and wherever you can!
And once you get at a mic in front of Funk Flex, with M.A co-signing you, you better KILL IT! And, yes, we know it’s a tense situation. But so what??! Take that pressure. Then put it all into that mic! Like these young spitters did; on the spot, off the cuff. Max YB & Korleone gave Flex enough content for a Part 2!

DaBaby – “BOP†(Live Performance) [Video]
December 19, 2019
Okay, I declare an official end to the hate. DaBaby is alright with me… especially after a performance like this. But you make up your own mind. I was clapping at the end of this live “BOP” performance on SNL, but you don’t have to. Turns out, DaBaby’s got his own ‘clapping’ going on in this #WOWZERS #HandstandYAMS

Dash Flash – “Bars On I-95 Freestyle†(Video)
December 12, 2019
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.

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)
December 11, 2019
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!”

Calboy – “Tim Westwood Freestyle†(Video)
December 9, 2019
Another Chi-towner checking in a freestyle for Westwood TV. We posted that Common freestyle a while back. Now, feast your eyes and ears as Calboy EATS on the track. That cadence he raps with had me thinking of a young and hungry Meek Mill. Good stuff!

NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series Presents: Freddie Gibbs & Madlib (Video)
December 9, 2019
I like this whiskey in my cup. We not givin’ a f**k…
‘Skinny Suge’ and Madlib make their way to the studio for a Tiny Desk concert. And everything is right with the world. Actually, it went a little left, starting jazzy then lyrics went HARD. But that makes things even ‘righter’ (haha)!
This Freddie Gibbs and Madlib Tiny Desk performance was a year in the making, largely because Madlib insisted on playing with El Michels Affair, a vintage funk and soul band based out of New York. But it was worth the wait. When pianist Marco Benevento opened with a delicate, almost jazzy run, it created the perfect opening — and juxtaposition — for hard-hitting emcee, Gibbs to jump in and ride the hell out of that beat.

4-IZE – “Verse 160†(Prod. By Floyd The Locsmif) [Video]
December 6, 2019
With the sh!tz from the tippy-top of this freestyle clip. Let’s just say Turkey Day might not mean the same thing to 4-IZE as it does to ‘the majority’ (of the MAGA movement, at least).
Regardless, homie still snapped in his latest car rap. Check it out!

Locksmith Speaks And Spits For Hip-Hop Culture… And Fellow Guests Fat Joe & Dre Are Amazed (Video)
December 6, 2019
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.”
