[RH TV] Freestyle In The Park: The New Class
Last month we hosted a special edition of Digital Freshness featuring only local talent under the age of 21. The purpose was to showcase the new crop of Chicago artists, and give them a chance to prove themselves in front of a live audience. The show was great, with everyone putting on a strong performance. Before the show we got all the participating emcees together for a little cipher, which goes back to our Freestyle In The Park days. Check out the video below featuring Caleb James, Kembe X, Alex Wiley, Calez, Legit, St. Millie, and Chance The Rapper.
The video was shot by Elijah Alvarado and edited by Andrew Zeiter. Special thanks to Jugrnaut and SoundScape for hosting Digital Freshness with us.

RH TV: Truck North, Big Pooh, Mikkey Halsted Freestyle In The Park
You read it right, we got these three mean emcees together for a "Closed Session" session, and afterwards took it outside for a Freestyle In The Park. Truck North and Big Pooh set it off, before our hometown cat, Mikkey Halsted takes things to a whole other level. I think you'll notice his face snarl up about half through...just watch and you'll see what I'm talking about. Fierce!

RH TV: Bighomie D.O.E. Freestyle In The Park
So, Freestyle In The Park's caught some flak in the new season..."These dudes aren't really freestyling...These dudes suck...etc..." Well, a couple points on that. When we say Freestyle In The Park, we mean it in the sense that artists can do whatever they want. In fact there have been films, books, essays on what exactly constitutes a "freestyle", and I'm not going to get into that here. Second, we can't make a rapper perform well, we merely given them the stage and let them show their stuff. Some do that much better than others...In reality, we've recognized a certain thing lacking in some of the recent FITP features, and we've come to correct all that with this one featuring Bighomie D.O.E. of The Brainiac Society. D.O.E.'s really took off after Mikkey Halsted's Internet On Lock event and hasn't slowed down since. Some of you may have never heard of him before, so allow this to serve as a proper introduction.

RH TV: Nick N' Beans Freestyle In The Park
I guess you either love or hate Nick N' Beans, at least that's the feeling I get when the young duo comes up in conversation. Some dismiss them immediately because of their age and style, just as I'm sure some embrace them purely for their associations. Regardless of sides, both outlooks are wrong, as they fail to give Nick and/or Beans a chance to show and prove...Well, that's what we're all about here at RH, so we open up the park to Nick N' Beans...See them spit below.
