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

    Cultural Hangover

    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. If you want to hear the AWKWORD interview, concluding in his live freestyle, e-mail info[@]AWKWORDrap[.]com.
