Jahdan Blakkamoore featuring 77Klash – Best I Ever Had Freestyle
Jahdan’s album Buzzrock Warrior drops in September. In the meantime, we’re setting the Summer on fire with Jahdan’s Bazooka Shot mixtape, which is coming sooner than you think. The night this freestyle was done, I think the guys (Jahdan, Klash, and Matt) recorded five other tracks, and this was the last one. It was pure fun. I gave the instrumental to Matt, he edited/re-shaped it in less than two minutes, Jahdan & Klash went in. Jahdan was alredy familiar with the hit song by Toronto’s own Drake, and was singing it the minute he heard the beat. I had never heard this song by choice. Klash wasn’t familiar with it, so he start singing Radiohead’s “Climbing the Walls,” and I was like yeah! Anyway, the vibe at Casa de la Jones (Geko Jones’ home-studio, where it all goes down) was great, and everyone was having a good time. We’re doing it again next week, putting the finishing touches on the Bazooka Shot tape. Jahdan and Klash are going in again, and they might be remixing, freestyling, covering whatever tune they feel like again.

Wiley is still there at the top, even if grime is floating in some kind of mysterious zone, he is captain of the iceberg. Bless Beats blessing the beats, bad tune.
Out to Dan Hancox on the tweet and chirp and Fiddy with the link.
