Great old school, 90′s era hip hop feel on the record, which is solidified by the legendary vocals of KRS.

New Audio: The “I” Freestyle x Cultural Hangover Radio Interview [FREE MP3s]

On September 1, I joined The Cult (DJ Reese, Add & Ciana Monet) for Cultural Hangover Radio at Montclair State University’s 90.3 FM Studio. The Cult and I chopped it up about:

1. the origin of “AWKWORD” & “The People’s Champ”;
2. my upbringing in Connecticut;
3. my 100% for-charity global Hip Hop project, World View;
4. what it’s like collaborating with Hip Hop legends; and
5. more.

The chemistry was palpable, and the interview shifted seamlessly from comical to serious throughout.

Then, I freestyled for nearly 50 bars over the classic DJ Premier beat Jay-Z used for “So Ghetto”.

Here is the original CulturalHangover.com post. Below, I break it all down for your convenience.
