Candy Rappers

The final Hot 97 battle for Summer Jam took place yesterday on Junction Blvd. Frez ONE entered this battle with a fresh air of confidence and a slew of local supporters. His authentic lyrical content and clever punchlines won the love and respect of eager onlookers.

This time Frez made it all the way to the finals. He was defeated (or ROBBED) by a Waka Flocka looking dude, "JB". As always, whoever has the loudest crew is king, and the Outsiders crew never stood a chance against the screeches of prepubescent little girls.


Fair call? You decide.


Here's some footage of how it all went down:

The Miss Colombia Project

When I was a sophomore in film school I interviewed a local Jackson Heights celebrity known as "Miss Colombia." I had often come across Miss Colombia on my way home from school or the movies as a kid. Her inappropriate humor and bold costumes left a permanent impression on me growing up. Kind of like Lady Gaga, in a creepy uncle sort of way. Upon my re-cut of this footage, I am evermore inspired by her vitality and courage.

Freeport Rap Wars

I went to support my boy FrezONE at the Boost Mobile Hot 97 Freestyle battle in Freeport, LI today.



He made it to the semi finals and was later annihilated by some Loon looking mother fucker spitting writtens.



Anyway, sometimes skill level has little to do with your success in ghetto rap battles. Here are some tips on how you too can hold your own despite your flow.

How To Win A Freestyle Battle (Despite Your Skill Level):

• Be Louder Than Your Opponent - This tricks the audience into believing you have authority and are therefore more talented.
• Look Like You're About To Cry - There's nothing sadder than a grown ass man crying in public. Now we weren't sure if his girl dumped him earlier in the day or if dude was just mad blunted, but dough boy made it through to the last round on pity cheers alone.
• Roll Through With A Crew of Drunk Mother Fuckers - Never underestimate the power of testosterone fueled limelight mongers. The more pussy starved the better.

We'll be seeing you at the Junction Blvd location on May 29; drunk and horny.
