What You Know About Freestylin?

I know we have been pushing the HiPNOTT 2010 Takeover for the past few months… and I ain’t just talking about the mixtapes — it’s a movement. We started the top of the year pushing Cymarshall Law and his Creator’s Kid EP. more recently you’ve been hearing a lot from K. Sparks and A Day In the Life. Earlier today we announced our whole lineup for 2010… peep it if you missed it. For the next month we’re going to be steadily pushing our next project: Almost Famous by Spectac & Amiri. The album doesn’t drop for another month, but this Monday we’ll be releasing the first single from the duo.

As I’m sitting here going through some of their footage to prep for promo, I came across a couple of freestyle videos that Spectac just did last year. The one above was done on a radio show where the DJ just gave Spec flash cards to rhyme about… insane! After the cut, you’ll see Spectac opening for KRS-One at a show in North Carolina. The whole cut is freestyle. I just had to share these to give you all a taste of the talent we’re working with at HiPNOTT Records. If you all aren’t familiar with Spectac, check the exclusive interview on him we did a couple of years ago when we dropped his album with 9th wonder, Corner of Spec & 9th [download] (a classic album if you haven’t checked it yet). The new album is crazy as well. Amiri‘s beats are something that I think a lot of you all are going to dig.
