Went from Pounds to half Pounds.
Pounds’ new project ‘Trafficante’ is out now for the getting! Here is Pounds and Flee Lord talking about their life journeys, the music their cooking up, getting in with Griselda, losing weight lots of weight, then tapping a connect for cash inflow… from a deal with Beyond Meat! Talk about a grind! And they talk about it all, and more, with Rosenberg on Real Late.
Loaded Lux Presents: Topshelf Freestyle (Finale) [Video]
This is a big deal.
Loaded Lux is right. Not just because it’s for 5 bands. 5 racks. 5 stacks (big prize money). Not just because, this time, the Hot 97 Morning Show is also judging. Not just because the station is giving one of the voters a thousand dollars… nah, not because of just any of that… Because of ALL of that!
This is the Final Four! Chayna Ashley, Elz Money Muzik, She Real, Pressure225… all to bring the HEALTHIEST BARZ ever! To nourish us! To make Hip-Hop HEALTHY again!!
Congrats to our Grand Prize Winner Chayna Ashley for Season 1 of Top Shelf Freestyle.
After a national call-out for free-stylists to drop and post their tightest “24 bars” last year, host and freestyle extraordinaire – Loaded Lux selected 16 emcees to be featured in our 4-part video series to compete for the “top crown” on Hot 97 Youtube and HOT97.com.
Your VOTE helped determine the grand prize winner for Season 1.

Ron Suno | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #145 (Video)
I’m 19, but the hate gone make me feel old.
And yeah, admittedly, when you watch this from the start of the ‘presentation’… older heads (like me)… feel the hatred, the vitriol mixed with 180 proof alcohol, flame up from within, for all the frontin’… but WAIT! Young gunner Ron Suno got something to spit. And he will get better if he keeps it pushing. Glad I hung in there for the bars.

Yo Gotti | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #143 (Video)
It’s an event. A special occasion. All of the above AND below! Because Yo Gotti is a ‘style’ that does NOT come free. He kept saying it: Yo Gotti is only here because Flex asked; hasn’t spit a freestyle in a decade!

Loaded Lux Presents: Topshelf Freestyle (Episode 3) [Video]
King Cook said, “I see STATUS, not SIZE!”
So that’s how we are starting the show this episode? HEALTHY!! Alright, King Cook, Meeze Da Gaawd, VSOP Sity and She Real… it’s YOURS!! Let’s go. Let’s FLOW!

22 Gz | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #142 (Video)
22 Gz. The General Blicky. This is what Brooklyn sounds like. Brooklyn’s real (that’s right). Real trill though? Real drill rap out of BK though? Hmmmkay…
Wait, WAIT! Don’t leave yet. LISTEN. Flatbush emceeing actually got represented in a new way this time out on Flex. Yet, the grimy feel is familiar enough for old heads (like me) to give new schoolers a chance. And to that I say, “Salute, General Blicky” (I mean Gang-Gang-GANG)!

Loaded Lux Presents: Topshelf Freestyle (Episode 1) [Video]
Okay, Lux passed the mic to another crop of unsigned up-and-comers. Let’s watch ’em go! Who you got? Who’s ‘Topshelf’ among these emcees? You could tell us. But what you really need to do is VOTE for your favorite at https://www.hot97.com/topshelf

Fivio Foreign | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #141 (Video)
‘Buckle up’ he says. Well, let’s get it then!
Fivio Foreign checks in for a Flex Freestyle. Looks like he is coming off the top for this rhyme; or at least lacing several of his memorized lines together for the rhyme patchwork.
A’ight then… before you ‘head out’… Check it out.

Young M.A x Max YB x Korleone | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #138 (Part 2) [Video]
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!

Marlon Craft | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #140 (Video)
If y’all on one, I’m on two!
Okay, Flex. You might be able to test young Marlon on his knowledge. You got him by a couple of years. But I dare you to test him on these BARZ! Listen!!

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!”

Young M.A x Max YB x Korleone | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #138 (Video)
So is that how Flex is doing it now? Calling up known spitters like Dave East, and now Young M.A, and telling them to bring their new blood through to do what they do. Bet!
Nothing like them HUNGRY emcees going hard with the BARZ! Max YB (repping New Jersey) and Korleone (coming out of Brownsville Brooklyn)… it’s on YOU!

Dave East x D Jones x King Shooter x Rich Rhymer | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #132 (Video)
Uh oh. Dave East is here, and he brought back up! The BAR talk is now beyond TREACHEROUS for whoever comes next and comes with any less lyrical firepower! The BAR has been raised past the danger zone. DEFCON 1 level BARZ only on Funk Flex’s freestyle sessions from now on!
Philly D Jones aka Jonesy… Queensbridge @KingShooter… Harlemworld Rich Rhymer… The spotlight is on you, too. SHINE!

Ebro Gives Props To Jalen Rose For His Wave Game & Off-Court Commentary On The Game (Video)
Daaaamn. Of course, we all knew… but Jalen actually spoke on the Lebron [hair]line situation.
(Oh, maybe they talk a bit of b-ball, too. Ha!)

Rapsody | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #137 (Video)
We do bars up here…
She heard you, Flex. And Rapsody came to KILL IT! That’s what she said. And that’s what she DID!
(Even with the fumble at the end. That rhyme was HAAAARD!)

Michael Rapaport Speaks About His Rants, Sh!t Talk, And Meek Mill’s Rap Skills (Video)
Michael Rapaport goes OFF… a lot! But good to know he is not burdened with that much hate. He’s just kidding around… except when he is getting after President Trump.
Actor & Comedian Michael Rapaport sits with Ebro In The Morning, and has a heated conversation about the New York Knicks, and the Brooklyn Nets.
He also has a passionate conversation about the state of Hip-Hop, and addresses some of the artists he enjoys in the current genre, and those he has a little bit of a problem with.
