Video: Raury – Freestyle On Sway In The Morning
ATL alternative Raury drops this hammer on Sway's show, declaring himself a unique breed of artist with an Outkast outcast's view. The Dre Benjamin influence only peeks through and what a welcome sight it is as the eclectic Atlanta scene grows further. Better than that: it's improvised. Check the cameo after the jump.
Video: Asher Roth – “Parties At The Disco” Feat. ZZ Ward
From Retro Hash, here is a hippie Asher Roth with a soul infusion from ZZ Ward. This is a better look for him than the smug frat boy ethos of "I Love College" and that era. The grainy filter and hazy images give light to already sparkling harmonies in a full musical experience unlike AR's previous stuff. Check it out after the jump.
Video: Common – Sway In The Morning Interview & Freestyle
Watch this clip and tell me Common isn't still -- after 20 years -- one of the best rap artists who can freestyle spontaneous verses at the drop of a beat. The lengthy interview is respect due to the Chi-town legend, who's making the press rounds for his 10th album Nobody's Smiling, and the freestyle is at the very end. Check the video after the jump.
