Holy biscuits, Cal and Rez just made gravy out of Ke$ha’s chart topping single, “Die Young”. Back to the old school Timeflies Tuesday format, Cal freestyle’s topics from the infamous basket supplied by Rez… like he actually freestyles. Since the Mayan’s are a bunch of goons who can’t get their predictions straight, the fellas thought it was only appropriate to remix this lively track feeding off apocalypse movies & songs and Twinkies, of course. Who else in the game is crushing remix freestyles like this?

Freestyle, Hip-Hop | Logic – Concrete
Posted by Grubeats on November 12, 2012
When you have a lyrical arsenal comparable to that of the U.S. Military (While we’re on the topic, thank you to all of our Veterans), you have no choice but to pay your respects to a hip-hop classic. Logic lets loose a rock solid cut that he has been holding in his vault, “Concrete”, flexing over Nas’ legendary, “New York State Of Mind Pt. II”. Opening up and revealing some of his personal history, the Gaithersburg High School dropout reflects on the state of hip-hop, “The King is dead, long live the king now watch me reign, spit fire that I attain from leaving a dragon slain”. At this point, I feel comfortable saying that Logic has nixed any disbelief from naysayers arguing his choice to put music in the forefront at such a young age. XXL Freshman 2013?

Someone get Rez a buffalo chicken pizza, please! Tour life appears to be running smoothly for Timeflies, still with 22 stops left, the duo heads West, but not until they flip the Ray Charles classic, “Hit The Road Jack”. Grab your tickets before they sell out, because judging by the footage in this video, it’s not a scene you’ll want to miss.
Freestyle, Videos | Timeflies: Episode 6 – Freestyle [The Clocumentary]

Far too often an artists “freestyles” are not actually freestyles. While this art was founded off the skill of improvising over any given beat, far too often pre-written verses create a deceptive impression of the select artists’ capabilities. Typically, you can tell if an artist is rattling off a pre-written verse, or if they’re spitting completely off the dome, but sometimes artists will mix pre-written bars with threads of free’s. Cal, of Timeflies, is one young artist who actually “freestyles” when he claims to be. The latest episode of The Clocumentary features Cal’s rare abilities to ad-lib whatever topics are being fed to him. We all know, nothing gets a party or a live show going like a live freestyle. Cal, props to you my friend.
Freestyle, Hip-Hop | Logic – Steps Back Radio Freestyle ft. Mikkey Halsted
Posted by Grubeats on September 28, 2012
Young Sinatra: Undeniable went platinum on Datpiff earlier this week, surpassing 250k downloads. Logic’s been grinding out in LA since he capped off his debut VMG tour in NYC just over a month ago. Life is good for the Maryland kid. Knowing the level of demand for new Logic these days, DJ Don Cannon fire this freestyle off, which will be featured on his upcoming “Steps Back Radio” mixtape. Splitting bars with veteran Windy City hot spitter, Mikkey Halsted, the two lyrically rip this one to pieces. Hopefully this holds you over until an official release from Logic coming within the next couple months!

Still riding high on the release of “Thrift Shop”, Macklemore visits 106 & Park to drop a few new bars. Laced with his second hand Hungarian tiger possum jacket, the Mariner maintains his sense of humor while hinting to any and all major labels, they’ll need to bring a lot more to the table if they want to secure a bite of the #SharkFace leader. The Heist in digital stores 10/9, or you can pre-order a special addition alligator bound physical copy.
