Jae Millz | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #114 (Video)
November 16, 2018
Okay. I saw the ‘heat’ in the comments for K-ShiNe’s freestyle for Flex that we just posted… Apparently, Jae Millz took that L. But even whisper the battlecat’s name and he’s back at you. Heavy bar talk with a double side serving of ‘petty’ for every hater. Ha!

Tiffany Haddish Speaks On What She Wants In A Man, Her Love Of Cartoons, And Katt Williams (Video)
October 30, 2018
Interesting. Tiffany is a lot less silly in this interview than I’ve noticed in a long while, perhaps ever. Make no mistake, she is still fun in this, but in more a Will Smith funny-but-this-one-has-something-to-say way.
Tiffany Haddish passed through Ebro in the Morning to discuss a variety of topics including, what qualities a man needs to have to date her, why hosting SNL was so difficult, what really happened when Katt Williams spoke to her after dissing her publicly, and is she trying to bring an old classic back?
– Hot 97
Wow. That list for qualifications for her man though. Dudes (like me) will have to step CORRECT. Fair, but substantive. And Tiffany’s side of the Katt Williams drama… well worth watching this through to the end.

Yea mon! The bredren SP and Dave E have been moving as a pack, promoting the album and doing interviews. But when they pull up on Flex, you KNOW they have to bless with RAW freestyles. And this was labeled “Part 1” on the ‘Tubes. Expect another ASAP!

Swizz Beatz x French Montana | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #110 (Video)
October 22, 2018
Definitely a ‘zone’ and a ‘feeling’ for this Funk Flex freestyle. Has there ever been hooka on the set for one of these? Okay, French, let’s go! Live overdubs provided by Swizzy… until he had to jump the track and beat the beat with some barz himself!

Young Devyn ‘Riding Out’ To A Beat In The Passenger Seat (Video)
October 16, 2018
Wow! Young Devyn has been in the game since BEFORE becoming the 16-year-old phenom we’ve come to respect and check for. Seems crazy to say that an early teen has YEARS in the game, but then I think about the Golden Era (Da Youngstas, Shyheim The Rugged Child, all the way up through Buckshot Shorty and way more) and YEP! That’s how it was, and that’s how it is in real Hip-Hop.
Or, at least, how it is SUPPOSED to be. Stop with the mumblin’ young’ns… Get your BARZ up! Like Young Devyn.

Dublin | Freestyles On Flex (Video)
September 14, 2018
This cat Dublin spits hot FIYAAAH! Noticed that they did not number this ‘Freestyle On Flex‘ though. Wonder if that’s the way now. If it means more emcees featured, with more fire BARZ, I’m for it!

Machine Gun Kelly | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #107 (Video)
September 3, 2018
Daaaaaymm. MGK dropped some heavy names and took some SHOTS at folks in this freestyle. Then again, when not? Flex gave him a hot mic, and he is MACHINE GUN Kelly (not, like, make them feel good about themselves Kelly). Aggressive!

AraabMuzik Speaks A Bit On His Past, His Process, And What He Thinks Makes A Good Producer (Video)
August 16, 2018
More used to posting AraabMuzik’s work on here, with him quietly going about the business of doing beat DAMAGE! But here we hear from the G. Talking about his culture/ethnicity and where he’s from. You’ll also get a sense of where he is ‘coming from’ after watching this.
AraabMuzik passed through Hot 97 to sit down with Ebro in the Morning and discuss new music, beats, and more.
The popular producer discussed his process making music, and the quality of some producers today. He also explains what he feels makes a good producer.

Cocky son of a mother, right? Well, if he’s selling and getting racks and plaques AND spitting like this… Well, let’s just say it ain’t bragging if it’s true, son. Russ with the hot freestyle for the Funk Flex listenership. Check it.

Angie Martinez Speaks On And Shares Her Lost Interview With 2Pac
August 9, 2018
Hmm. last time the Interwebs were abuzz with talk of 2Pac and Hot 97 in the same breath was when it was ‘the world’ vs. Funk Flex ranting about the way Pac talked & moved while he was here. Folks pretty much took the view, “Flex, it’s been decades. Let it die.”
But time and again, we see that 2Pac and all things related come up and come back to life (so to speak).

Maino | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #104 (Video)
August 1, 2018
Maino got bars! And Flex got apologies for anyone ‘in their feelings’ who got hurt by them (guess they can still go dance over and ask ‘KeKe’ if she loves them though). HAAA!
They cracked the fourth wall and dropped the facade of ‘off top’ rhyming for this freestyle presentation (letting us see the ‘bloopers’), but still pretty good #ItsYourMain #MainoStillGotIt

Juice Wrld | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #101 (Video)
July 20, 2018
No offense… Nah f**k that, ALL OFFENSE!
Bwaahahaa! Okay, Juice Wrld got bars. Count this as one Flex rightfully passed the mic to. Says he’s coming off the top of the head in this clip. Respek on his name if that’s truly true. But I’m digging it either way!

Why Is Action Bronson’s Face Shaved? (Video)
July 13, 2018
Well, ‘Bam-Bam goes beardless’ is the headline, but he talks about other stuff: the World Cup, a new brew (Stillwater Artisanal beer), possibly some new music, definitely “F*** That’s Delicious,” and being in a forthcoming Robert Dinero film!
Action Bronson has a brand new look! The rapper is now walking around with a shaved face. Wait til you hear the crazy story behind it.
