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.

Friday Freestyle Report 04 Bars and Blunts

       The cats over at 'Bars On I-95' have come through two weeks in a row with exceptional female talent. Ms. Hustle runs with the baton Lady Luck passed off last week as A.B. and Cease continue curating what will one day be a legendary list of freestyle performances. Ms.Hustle is hard and brings to the table an aggressiveness that is not present in a lot of male emcees. Ms Hustle is right at home on the home of the heavy spitters. I would have liked to hear a little bit more from her.   'Bars On I-95'...Thank you for this one. This one impressed with instant classic status. Other female emcees would be wise to take a lot of notes here. Any emcee in general could learn something here. Now I'm wondering if the rest of that Fred The Godson will be better than this. I don't think it will be. This is Lady London spitting all bars and no bullshit on 'Bars On I-95' home of the heavy talkers and she fit right in. I didn't know Lady London would be t...

So you want to be a Dj?

     Even today in 2018 it still seems like everyone wants to be a dj. Some truly want to study the craft and become part of the culture while a large portion of these alleged knowledge seekers are infatuated with money, fame and potential affection from women with poor judgement in men and bad taste in music. But for those who truly seek the path to higher levels of turntable enlightenment Rob Swift and his Brolic Army are here for you.     In 2014 Swift began teaching a course called 'Dj Skills & Styles' as a professor at the New School for Liberal Arts in New York City. During the course students use turntables and vinyl to learn the fundamentals of mixing, scratching and beat juggling. With only twelve student per class each semester you are damn near getting one on one time with one of the most respected and experienced turntablist on the planet. If you are like me and desire to battle then this right here might be exactly what you are look...
