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.  

There's something special going on in the state of Massachusetts when it comes to rap. I've never been there but I'm feeling the heat from their talent down here in Texas. Representing out Cambridge is Millyz. The freestyle game is where this man shines and that what keeps him on my radar. I hope to see this guy on 'Bars On I-95' soon.

I like it when he's on that bar heavy cypher shit without any trap sounding beats in the vicinity. Definitely somebody I want to see more freestyle sessions from. The game needs more bars from guys like this. View this post on Instagram If u support me GO TAG @funkflex . Tell him that it’s time .

Just a few reasons you should be tuned into the 'A-OK All Day' channel on YouTube. High quality hip hop mashups are what they do on a consistent and regular basis. These are the best blend tapes in the game until I say otherwise.  0:00 Primo Speaks 0:20 Amazing vs Born To Roll 4:00 Higher Level vs Slaughterhouse 7:45 Crooklyns Worst Nightmare feat.

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

Fort Murda Worth is officially in the house with Stop Six representer Lil Cj Kasino. When it comes to DFW street music Yella Beezy has the hottest name at the moment but its the supporting cast you need to keep an eye on. If you slept on or didn't hear about Lil Cj Kasino in 2018 here are a few reasons to keep him on your radar. .                                          

Charlie Clips delivers a proper Harlem battle style that is heavy with gun bars and punchlines on his latest visit to Funk Flex. His previous appearance on Hot 97 has over 2.5 million views. DNA accompanies Clips to the session which has me anticipating a new DNA freestyle forthcoming from the platform soon.  URL battle rap legend and gun bar king Tay Roc touches down on the 'No Ghostwriter' freestyle with creative, aggressive bars that paint a grimey drug related story for those on the inside looking out. Big L is regarded as one of the greatest to ever rap and is often considered by many to be the very best to ever do it. Together he and Jay Z recorded the '7 Minute Freestyle' on the Stretch & Bobbito show. The following is an extended version featuring commentary from Big L and Jay Z that is not found on the seven minute version. This is Jay Z in his prime in tandem with arguably the best emcee to ever exist. Stretch and Bobbito shows are arch...
