How’s this for a Freestyle Friday? Mistah F.A.B. is currently in the UK. During his interview with HHC‘s Sumit, Fabby Davis goes off the dome for over 4 minutes. Nice. Word to Big Ben.
For a second time, Sumit conversed with DJ, engineer, and producer Young Guru. This time Mr. Keaton reflected on his days with Bad Boy’s Hitmen, The Throne’s “Otis” video, favorite Watch The Throne tracks, defending 9th Wonder and losing to Just Blaze in a DJ battle.
Before hitting up Soundclash in the UK, Just and Al chopped it up earlier with Sumit. Just recalls an MC battle at Rutgers in 1997 and rapping with Craig G. Midway through the clip, the pair kicks some bars and sing a song for Jay Electronica.

Wale, in this track, shows once again his ability to blend different genres. He doesn't limit himself to hip-hop, but enriches it with R&B nuances, creating a familiar sound. This fusion is not only an exercise in style, but serves to intensify the emotional impact of the song. And then there is his ability to rap. Wale is a master at playing with words, creating complex rhymes and modulating his voice to best express his emotions. In 'Blanco', his rap part is an explosion of words that intertwine with the melody, creating a hypnotic and relaxing effect. His ability to go from moments of pure energy to moments of deep introspection is what makes this track so engaging; it reminds me of when you would slow dance, hugging your woman.
