Video: Bardo – Level Up
Chicago might be the talk of Hip-Hop lately, especially with the come-up of Bardo. This deep-voice lyrical rapper has a potential that not many rappers coming out of the Chi have. The visual above is Bardo’s first video off his latest tape “Game Tape” which is hosted by DJ Booth. The video features the direction of Elijah Alvarado who recently just shot a video for MMG’s newest signee, Rockie Fresh.
If you like Bardo, check out his music here.

1 Verse, 1 Hearse #21, Hopsin – Ill Mind Of Hopsin 5
Maybe the Mayans are right. Lately it’s been one catastrophe after another. Just a few months ago a man ate another man’s face. Of course we’ve all heard about the Dark Knight massacre. Events like these prompt people to say that this generation is the extinction of decency. Then there’s the rap music. It glorifies violence and the superficial lyrics degrade women. Laziness seems to be at an all time high while creativity is at an all time low. The people behind these words are usually old white grumpy people on TV who know nothing about the culture. So what happens when someone from within culture comes out in criticism of the music? Well, maybe that means that they’re right. Not that the culture is doomed, but that it has a lot of room for improvement. Thankfully Hopsin is one of those dudes pushing the ignorance in our culture off the table. “Ill Mind Of Hopsin 5″ has made a giant step towards Making SMART Cool. So turn up if you’re down with real progressive hip-hop!
Beats By KillerHipHop Part II: And The Winner Is…
With over 50+ entries, the KillerHipHop team and production duo of White Kidd have decided on the winner of our second Beats By KillerHipHop Freestyle contest. The White Kidd beat that was used as the tool to win the contest, was known to be a difficult instrumental for people to attack. However when it came to deliberation time, a freestyle by a Brooklyn MC named Freekstile was decided as the unanimous winner.
Congratulations to Freekstile.
Freekstile presented a style White Kidd and KillerHipHop was looking for as the winner of this contest and he delivered how he was suppose to. Take a listen to the winning entry below.
What you think of the winning freestyle?
He was also kind enough to make an exclusive video. Check it out with the lyrics after the jump.
Video: Lupe Fiasco “Toca Tuesday” Freestyle
Lupe Fiasco stopped by Tony Touch’s Shade 45 radio show last week. Like most artists do, Lupe dropped a freestyle for the “Toca Tuesday” freestyle series. But unlike others, Lupe went in off the top for over 2 minutes.
