The Smoking Section

If you are looking for a way to fast track getting your rap name known outside your city here are two platforms that are not charging artist to come on and spit. The expectation is that you're not going to show up and do some bullshit. This is for elite level emcees. As a viewer who hates the wait between videos I don't want one to come out and it's a disappointment because you suck at rap. The first video is a conversation between one of the host of 'Bars On I-95' and the hostbc of the 'No Ghost Writer' platform. Reach out to these guys and make get deeper into the culture. You help keep this alive in the proper form when you participate. You can't buy this type of respect but you can earn it and here are two places you can start.    Popperazzi Po gives a lesson.

When someone gives you something you say thank you.  If you have been following the blog you've seen me mention wanting to see DNA on 'Bars On I-95'. On Christmas Eve 2018 'Bars On I-95' made that happen. Not only did AB and Cease gift us a DNA rhyme session, they also hit us off with a freestyle from Rain 910 who I did not know was also a member of NWX. So to 'Bars On I-95' I want to say THANK YOU for that Christmas Eve double feature. Especially for the DNA freestyle. The list starts off with the double header from Christmas Eve followed by my favorite freestyles from the platform from 2018 in no specific order (after the two freestyles from Christmas Eve).   BEST OF 2018
