#FreestyleFriday: Featuring C-Rayz Walz, Vast Aire, and Aesop Rock
Without freestyling and cyphering, hip hop just wouldn’t be the same. And I’m talking about off-the-dome ish, no blackberry BS! I figure it would be a good idea to showcase some cool freestyle/cypher videos in a segment called #FreestyleFriday. For the first #FreestyleFriday post, I’d like to showcase a cypher with some of the most legendary underground MC’s: C-Rayz Walz, Vast Aire, and Aesop Rock. They were a part of the DefJux era in the late 90′s/early 2000′s in which they put out multiple underground classics. And in this video, you can get a feel for how they kicked it and cyphered back in the day. I got mad respect for all 3 of them…they are definitely some legends. MC’s can learn a thing or 2 from these cats….pay attention!
Lox Tha Rippa – “Badman Tings” (Music Video)
The homie Lox Tha Rippa drops us his new music video for “Badman Tings” set to be released off the Feelgood Tape. The video was directed by Lex One of GTPS. In this track, Lox embraces his Jamaican heritage by rapping in Patois. Lox is known for kicking some crazy freestyles like the one you see in the intro of the video. Dude is definitely skilled on the mic, so keep up with what he’s got coming up. Also, check for the dope cameo from Joka Wild from The Benchwarmer’s Clique, haha!
Edgar Allen Floe & J Wheels – “I Don’t Know Why (What’s Goin’ On Remix)”
The NC rhyme slinger veteran Edgar Allen Floe drops us a dope new track today in promotion for a new project with J Wheels entitled Floetry In Motion. The project will be available on June 19th. The album will feature Royce Da 5’9, Chaundon, Termanology, Nottz, and more! From the sound of this track and the looks of the tracklisting(see below), it should be a solid album.

The homie Phil drops another quick track for the people out there in hip hop land. This one is produced by the ever-so-slept-on Frederick Elliot. Definitely a dope track. I just wish he’d add another verse, he teases us too much! Dear Phil, please bring us Drown ASAP!

An Exclusive Interview with 9th Wonder
After rockin’ a DJ set and a set with Rapsody, 9th Wonder took some time to talk with me about various topics. Those topics include the importance of the history and culture of hip hop, working on full albums, a new album with Murs called “The Final Adventures of Murf and Beef Dog”, Sean Price/”Mic Tyson”, Wale and his style change, his track with Lil B, HaLo’s “Plan B”, and more. It was great having him come down with Rapsody to The Green Room Ft. Lauderdale for another great “Brown Bag Wednesday”. I’m excited for the new Murs album and all of the other projects Jamla Records will be dropping. Just weeks after this interview was conducted, I became an official representative of the label through the magnificent Jamla Army(Pvt Archangel). I definitely wanna give a big shoutout to the Jamla Army and all my fellow Jamily. Peace!
