Freestyle Mondays… GO HARD or GO HOME!!!!
So this past Monday, a friend invited me to a bar in West Village that host a freestyle battles every Monday. I was 100% stoked when he told me. Since New York has produced some of the finest MC’s that has ever graced the mic, I knew I was in for a treat. I was all prepared to hear some amazing flows and laugh at the punch lines.
The event is held at 116 MacDougal, a small underground (this excited me more) venue near West 4th street. It was only a 5$ cover, but their is an open bar from 10:30 to 11:30, which made my night! What was even more impressive about this freestyle battle is the contestant spit over a live band and they spin a wheel and whatever category it lands on that has to be the topic of the freestyle. Hosted by iLLspoKinN & Mariella, I knew I was in for a good time.
Now I told you all before I do not judge performers, but I will say that some of these MC’s were dope and others made me laugh at them (instead of with them)! I wish I could of say I saw some raw NYC talent, but a couple of people were more like raw Nebraska talent! Whatever the case, the band was dope and the hosts kept me entertained, so overall it was a good time.

Until next time kiddos!!!
