The Smoking Section

     It's Friday night and you're looking for some music to listen to but you're not sure what. That's what 'The Smoking Section' is here for. All you need to worry about is grabbing something to smoke and maybe a beverage of some sort. I like IPA's myself. First up on the list is a freestyle from Ciroc Studios at Hot 97, home of Funk Flex, in NYC. Not everybody can come up here. That's the mantra. Flex has a respectable thing going on and when you tune in you can catch freestyles from some of the more established or mainstream names in the game as well as seasoned battle rap veterans that you don't know but will definitely enjoy. Most guests get on the mic and hold it down however there were a few times when the performances were trash. Examples of those exceptions would be the appearances by Quentin Miller (aside from being wack he sounded like he was whispering), Juice Wrld (I thought his freestyle was bad until I heard some of his recorded music

 This music is good at any time and for any occasion. It's music to live to. It goes really well with cannabis too. They're all about bars at 'Bars On I-95' and that's exactly what I went there for. If you are just a casual listener of rap then be forewarned we will be stepping into the upper echelon of hardcore heavy bar spitters.      'Bars On I-95' started posting top tier freestyles at the start of this year and has set the bar for what freestyles should be. Nowadays I would much rather listen to freestyles and rap battles then peoples projects. What they are doing at 'Bars On I-95' is to be  respected and should be supported. Shout out to Connecticut.     First up and representing out of Philly, hitting you with the skills other rappers need to aspire to, is slick talk king Bugsy talking some very slick shit. At this point I would say a bong would come in real handy right about now. If you are ready to press play then please be w

      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.
