Freestyle, Hip-Hop, Videos | Locksmith & Wale
Posted by Mach on February 7, 2012
Immortal Technique? No, but sounds almost exactly the same, even his style matches up. Illuminati is the first preview for Locksmith’s upcoming project, Labyrinth, set to drop this March. His name might be Locksmith, but I think they should call him wordsmith for how devastating his verses are on this track.
Going off on an A$AP Rocky single, is Wale with a smooth versed freestyle. He comes in quick after the voice samples keeping it tight to the beat, doing a great job maintaining the vibe of the instrumental. Wale is rapping about going hard…are you surprised?

Freestyle, Hip-Hop | Los, Lola Monroe, Joe Budden, Action Bronson
Posted by Grubeats on January 27, 2012
The youngin’ coming after the crown, Los, recently made a visit to Shade 45′s Toca Tuesday to spit some bars off the top. This is not the first time I’ve seen Los go bananas off the top, as he has made it a staple of his live shows. If you haven’t copped one of the mixtapes of the year, go download The Crown Ain’t Safe now.
Los’ girlfriend, Lola Monroe, who recently inked a deal with Taylor Gang gives us a freestyle over Drake and Common’s beef song. I downloaded Lola’s last mixtape after hearing some features on Los’ tracks and wasn’t overly impressed. Ironically, I think she sounds similar to Nicki at times, but her self proclamation of “the female Pac” is a bit extreme.

After hearing No Church In The Wild in the trailer for Denzyl’s new flick, Safe House, you start to realize just how incredible the production is on the Watch The Throne project. Joey B goes in over the 88-Keys x Kanye West x Mike Dean beat, owning it as usual.

Action Bronson hit the booth with Statik Selektah, laying down some fresh new bars for his next collaborated project. Nothing out of the ordinary, just quality byproduct of an overweight white dude rapping.

Freestyle, Videos | Timeflies Tuesday: This Is Why I’m Hot
Posted by Grubeats on January 18, 2012
Timeflies decide to get their early swell on this year along with the other 33% of people who aim to lose weight or the 15% who attempt to fix themselves onto a regular workout plan. While they are missing one of the key ingredients for success, Kanye’s “The New Workout Plan”, they have successfully spun “This Is Why I’m Hot” into a dumbbell dwellers anthem. Here’s what the two gym rats had to say about this weeks installment of Timeflies Tuesday;
“After a long morning of squats at the gym, we had to sample some weights and give you a workout inspired freestyle. Hopefully your workout goes better than ours did…
Special thanks to our trainer, Alison -http://www.youtube.com/user/AllisonNYC“
If you missed last weeks, here’s the mp3.

Freestyle | Dunson – Lord Knows Freestyle
Posted by Jess on January 5, 2012
Kenton Dunson just announced that he is dropping his first name from his stagename to be just Dunson. Along with it, he dropped a sick freestyle over Drake’s “Lord Knows”. You can definitely tell that Dunson is hungry to break out in the scene by this track. In it, he spits about his road as an artist and his goals for the future. His first single off his upcoming project is due out very soon. The track is produced by the Grammy-nominated production team, Phatboi Entertainment, and from what I heard, it may be his biggest hit yet. Stay updated on future releases from Dunson and help him regain his fans by liking his new fan page on Facebook.
“As matters progress, I have made the creative decision to continue my artistic journey under the name Dunson. This simply means that I will be dropping Kenton from the artist name. While it doesn’t change very much, we believe it represents a more defined character while allowing for a greater overall reach and impact. At this stage, I find it important to take the necessary steps to touch as many people as possible with what I offer as an artist. This allows me to accomplish that with more precision and less confusion.” – Dunson

Freestyle, Hip-Hop, Videos | Timeflies Tuesday: 2012
Posted by Grubeats on January 4, 2012
2011 was truly an extraordinary year for Timeflies. It’s amazing to watch artists’ growth over such a short period of time and even more impressive to see the fans support explode with so much passion. In lieu of the malicious Mayans forecasting the world’s end, @WhatupCal & @RobResnick sample Jason Derulo & Nicki Minaj’s track, “2012 (It Ain’t The End)”, adding their own personal stroke of genius. If by some chance the Mayans predictions of the world ending on December 21st of 2012 hold true, Timeflies is guaranteed to go out with a bang. If the world doesn’t end, they’re still going to have one hell of a year and I’m excited to see just how far they can take this dream.
They have teased us with the streaming audio for this right now, but once they hit 25,000 followers on @Timeflies they promised to drop us the mp3. GO FOLLOW!

Freestyle, Hip-Hop, Videos | Timeflies Tuesday: Christmas
Posted by Grubeats on December 20, 2011
Everyone knew this was coming. Posting 32,000+ Facebook fans and nearly 20,000 Twitter followers to close out the year, Timeflies seems to have everyone from Tufts to the homies in Whooville to grandma’s at the bingo hall rocking out to this fresh new track. What can’t they do?
Freestyle, Hip-Hop, Rap | Mystikal, Roscoe Dash, Wale, XV, Ashanti, Busta
Posted by Grubeats on December 15, 2011
If you’re still trying to decipher the words that came out of young Khaliyl’s mouth, stop. The kid’s only two. I’m sure if he knew how to talk, he would be rolling the ABC’s of rap off his little British tongue. He’s definitely got the body language of rap down and he bobs with the beat. If Tinie Tempah doesn’t sign this kid, Jay-Z better.
In other news, “DANGERRRRR, WATCH YO’SELF,” Mystikal is back and he brought his friend vengeance . Is it just me or is this close to vintage? Just when I thought he had packed his bags, he inks a new deal with Cash Money and debuts this brand new record. Thank you Weezy?

The fifth track off Roscoe Dash’s debut EP, “J.U.I.C.E.” which is set for a a December 20th release. Roscoe & Wale saw unparalleled success with their collab on “No Hands” in which they were both featured on Waka Flocka’s hit track, so once again they link up to deliver an early morning club hit.The second Wale track is a freestyle he did with fellow DMV artist, Black Cobain, who he recently revealed in an interview was one of his favorite up and coming artists. Personally I’ve thought Tyga’s “Rack City” was overhyped and I never really saw the appeal, but clearly the masses think otherwise.

After giving us a new track just a few days ago, Vizzy cuts the lock on another one, this time produced by The Awesome Sound. XV was in the studio with Drama Beats earlier this week and although this track isn’t produced by Drama himself, he’s dedicating it to his #youngandreckless Squarians.

The overwhelming realization that Mystikal still had it nearly knocked me unconscious and when I heard Ashanti was back as well, I almost broke out my Discman and $10 Sony headphones to bring me back to the good-ole-days. Sadly I don’t think we’ll ever hear the Ashanti we grew accustomed to hearing back in the late 90′s and early 00′s, but for a comeback, this isn’t terrible. Her larynx appears to still be in tact and Busta picks up the slack to make this a decent track. Pardon the quality, I’ll share the CDQ once I find it if you’d like.
