A sneak peak of a scene featuring Mos Def and Kanye West from JEEN-YUHS, coming to Netflix in 2022. This clip and freestyle session is insane. Can’t wait!
Truly a transcendent genius in the culture of hip-hop freestyle, the incomparable Common made his return to the LIFTOFF show with Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk to cement another historical Power 106 L.A. Leakers moment.
Effortlessly spitting complete top tier bars over not one, but two classic hip-hop tracks, Cole takes differing approaches over Souls Of Mischief’s “93 ‘Til Infinity” and Mike Jones’ “Still Tippin”.
He gained his initial notoriety from battle rapping on MTV and 106 & Park in the Early 2000’s and 2010’s. He has a few projects out there online and I encourage people to go check them out.
Action Bronson is getting back into the swing of things with some bars for Funkmaster Flex’s Outside freestyle series. The Flushing, Queens rapper set up a camping chair on the sidewalk in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and freestyled over a beat from Griselda producer Daringer.
Earlier this month, two of the most lyrically inclined hip hop artists collaborated and dropped a song called homicide. Logic and Eminem threw all sorts of lyrical acrobats on this track and went crazy on the beat. Towards the end of the track it sounds like a horrible impersonation of a rapper rapping, but it actually is. Comedian Chris D’Elia impersonated Em in one of his comedy skits, and Eminem and Logic decided to add it to the end of the song, which is hilarious.
Cubes solo version of the piece, filmed on a downtown Los Angeles rooftop and part of our ongoing hip-hop performance series. With a fierce flow, Cube rises above the 2018 BS to address Hollywood, the music industry and his place in the game. “Don’t you know, my truth is a dare/It’s the cyclops with the eye drops,” he raps.
The Philly-native’s strong return rolls on. Less than a week after releasing his comeback Championships LP, Meek Mill stopped by Hot 97 to talk shop with Funkmaster Flex and of course, in true Meek fashion, the Philly-native delivered a menacing freestyle.
Kanye West, A$AP Rocky and A$AP Ferg taking turns rapping over a fire beat Kanye was working on. The three are definitely having fun together in the studio and we’re happy they decided to share this epic moment between the three heavyweights. Enjoy!
Firing shots at rappers who focus too much on fashion, this could easily be a jab at West’s YEEZY line. Although Kanye West skipped the Met Gala this year, he was spotted in Milan late 2017. It’s also worth noting that West conveniently forgot to credit Drake on “Yikes” from his new album ye.
A few days ago Wiz Khalifa quietly dropped off this freestyle on youtube along with the following message: “One of the rawest freestyles from Wiz in a long time. Strictly for the Taylors. Rolling Papers 2 coming soon. Taylor Gang or Die.” He’s got some dope bars in there, and it’s the classic smooth flow we’re used to hearing from Wiz. Great way to get in the spirit for the coming holiday this month!
On the heels of his acclaimed new LP, Victory Lap, Los Angeles rapper Nipsey Hussle pulled up at Hot 97 in NYC to promote the album on the Funk Flex show. You can always expect some street knowledge from Nipsey, especially when you put him on Nas’s “If I Ruled the World,” beat. Watch the clip below and see why Nipsey remains one of the hottest rappers in the game right now!
Even mediocre emcees usually bring their A game for their “freestyles” on Funk Flex’s show on Hot 97 in NYC, but it’s a rare treat when Flex brings in a straight up legend like Black Thought of The Roots. Thought rose to the occasion with a flawless 10 minutes of heat off the top of the dome reminding the entire world why he should always be brought up in the top 5 dead or alive conversation. We pity the fool who has to follow up this on Freestyle #88 on Funk Flex’s Show next.
Legendary lyricist Papoose dropped by Funk Flex’s show on Hot 97 in NYC for a freestyle.

Enjoy!

Vic Mensa has been popping up on talk shows and radio shows everywhere in support of his new album The Autobiography. He showed up at Hot 97 in New York and dropped this super hot freestyle. Vic experiments a lot, but at the end of the day there’s many young MC’s that can rival his bars. Check it out!
2 Chainz is a polarizing artist. With simple, catchy music and a mainstream image and content, he’s often overlooked as a skilled MC. He recently flexed on the LA Leakers show over Kendrick’s DNA instrumental and dropped some crazy bars. Check it out!
We haven’t heard much from Cory Gunz, but it’s clear he hasn’t fallen off. He stopped by Hot 97 in NYC to murder this 5 plus minute freestyle with some of the hottest bars we’ve heard this year. Funk Flex has been on a roll with dope guests as of late, and this one has us looking forward to seeing what Cory has in store for this year.
NY Rapper Mysonne popped up seemingly out of nowhere to get on Funk Flex’s show and spit and insane freestyle for almost the whole 8 minute clip. It’s clear that the veteran MC isn’t feeling a lot of the new rappers out today, and he goes off with subliminal and overt disses and some amazing punch lines. This one is a must watch!
