Freestyle, Hip-Hop | J. Cole – Drank in My Cup (Freestyle)
Posted by Grubeats on March 23, 2012
Two days ago a “remix” of Kirko Bangz hit, “Drank In My Cup” leaked out “featuring” J. Cole. Well apparently it was falsely identified and it was not recorded as a remix but rather a freestyle by the Cole crowned king himself. Listen here in full as Cole blesses us with an awesome new freestyle leading us into the weekend.

Electro, Freestyle, Hip-Hop, House, Rap, Throwbacks | Snoop Dogg and Soundcloud: A Love Story
Posted by Spice on March 20, 2012
A few days ago, Snoop Dogg was handed a slip of paper that would change the face of the modern world forever. On it were the username and password to a Soundcloud account — an account long forgotten and gathering dust, an account more unloved and underutilized than so many Myspace pages of yore. We don’t know how this account came into existence (from the looks of page 7, it was set up by his management team about a year ago), but these details are unimportant now. Because for whatever reason, on this fated March morning, Snoop Dogg set out to make his Soundcloud the greatest effing Soundcloud on the planet.
I’m not kidding when I say that. This is one of the most epic and entertaining things I’ve come across in a long time. My running theory is that Snoop Dogg hit 47 js and then parked himself in front of his computer for 15 hours, just uploading without so much as a bathroom break. I’ve been sitting at work going through this thing and it’s literally a goldmine — there are rough cuts, studio outtakes, instrumentals that are far from finished, remakes of some of his older tracks, and then total curve balls like this hour long disco-funk-electro-tinged-slow-jam-heavy mix that I can’t even do justice to in words. It’s a weird but wonderful insight into his creative process, and the best part is that everything up there is a free download. If you’ve been in need of a good Snoop Dogg fix since 2004, this is your moment. And even if you haven’t been, do yourself a favor and check his stuff out anyway. All the major musical foodgroups are covered: “SNOOPADELIC MIXX,” “BLOWFLY G SHIT,” and, of course, just…”GOOD MUSIC.”
Snoop, we’ve missed you. Welcome back to the game.
SNOOP DOGG’S SOUNDCLOUD: 5+ Pages of Straight Up SC Gold
Edit: goodness, he just uploaded like eight more tracks in the past 20 minutes. Snoop Dogg, what are you up to over there? Is this a livestream of your life? Whatever, I dig it. His SC is about to blow up like the puppy cam.
Freestyle, Hip-Hop | Mystikal, Los
Posted by Grubeats on March 13, 2012
I shared this track a couple months back when it first dropped, trying to grip the fact that Mystikal was actually making a comeback with a new deal from Cash Money. There are certain rappers voices that just get your adrenaline pumping, Mystikal is one of them. Cue the Lil Wayne snowboard boots and plastic guitar with the Birdman billion dollar rhymes, this is an official CMB showcase.

Los comes back shooting with his second freestyle of the past 5 days. This time going in over Young Jeezy’s “I Do”, Swagga Boy gives the fans something, just because he can. Now if MGK would take a page from Los’ book and release some new music, Diddy may find some assurance in his Cleveland investment.
Freestyle, Hip-Hop | Los, Chris Brown, Chris Webby

Bad Boy’s newest signee, Los, see’s how his Rollie stacks up to Coach Combs (above) prior to giving Tyga a run for his money with a new “Rack City” freestyle. You may know I’m somewhat indifferent towards Tyga up to this point and despite having a chart topping single and selling approximately 100,000 copies of his debut album, Careless World, in the first two weeks (…with features from Pharrell, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, T-Pain, J. Cole, Busta Rhymes, Big Sean, Chris Brown, Wynter Gordon, & more) he still hasn’t proven himself to me. In my opinion, the “Rack City” beat could have sold itself. Yeah, Tyga’s version is catchy and original, but Los kills freestyles. This is not the first time, it’s just what he does. I’m swaying towards Los’ version at this time.
New Breezy. I’d guess this will be another track featured on “Fortune” which is set to hit shelves May 8th. Drumma Boy on the beat.
Hip-Hop’s favorite grammatically gifted gamer released the first single titled “Bowser” off his next mixtape, which remains untitled at this point. Webby relates himself and his career to that of Mario’s well known arch nemesis, Bowser, the villain leader of the the Koopas. I suppose if you’re going to compare your skin to any Mario character, Bowser would be the best bet.

Freestyle, Hip-Hop | Upper West – West Side Stories(Mixtape)
Posted by dshaq on February 29, 2012
Finally. After all those videos and releases the New York group, Upper West, finally drops off their newest mixtape, West Side Stories. The refreshing beats mixed with catchy hooks and dope verses make for one of my favorite tapes of the year. These dudes are oozing with talent and this is only the beginning for them. Make sure you download the WHOLE TAPE! I mean there is a Cool Runnings sample in there…just saying. Hit them up and show your support with a follow on Twitter and a like on their Facebook.
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.
