Bars On I-95 sets the Bar




      If you consider yourself a connoisseur of bar laden freestyles, Bars On I-95, the home of the heavy spitters should be your next destination. Representing out of Connecticut the duo of A.B. and Cease do their part to preserve, promote and showcase top tier hip hop lyricism without sacrificing quality or the essence of the culture for views, likes or dollars. The philosophy is simple. Skills over politics. Bring your pen game not your name. It's not about crazy antics such as how many donuts you can steal or the last person you choked. What it is about is rugged, technical, smooth bars from slick talking cats like Goodz and Bugsy. Yesterday's session featuring King Card and Rayquan Da Don will more than satisfy your cravings for heavy bar talk. For the casual more mainstream listener this session may be either too intense or the most impressive thing you have recently heard, as these two artists have stamina, serving up nearly thirteen minutes of verbal dexterity.

    As a new contender in the arena of online freestyle performances Bars On I-95 has set and maintained a very respectable mc standard from its inception. And although all of their content is worth exploring so far their shining moment seems to be the session with battle rap great Tsu Surf which has garnered over 2 million viewings as of this post. 





   Bars On I-95 first popped up on my radar during the summer and has quickly worked its way into one of my top online choices for new and intricate freestyles. The platform is less than a year old and deserves your support as they have consistently provided reason after reason to keep an eye upon what they have to offer to the culture. I personally am a huge fan of the new intro sequences for their videos and literally HAD to replay it several times. It's that cool. A.B. and Cease are curating something special here and the care and attention being given to it is apparent. You can check it out for yourself in the video below.
