Awesome article bro. I remember hearing freestyle for the first time in the Lower East Side of Manhattan walking around with my dad. People would be blasting Show Me, Silent Morning, etc. in their boom boxes, Toyotas,😆 and at house parties. Long story short, I moved to Pennsylvania with my grandparents, stayed for a couple of years then moved to Bay Ridge with my mom. Came back to Pennsylvania a couple years later and the people were jamming to freestyle music. I became a corrections officer for 20 years, then retired. I’m working at a warehouse now and every day I listen to freestyle music. I’m always making my coworkers laugh and they tell me all the time to try stand up.😆.There’s a nostalgia about it that brings me back to NYC and the great memories I had going clubbing with my friends and dancing. Thank you for your contribution to this music. I am sure you are an important part of the music. We as fans can see your passion for it and it’s awesome bro. God Bless and keep up the great work.
Congratulations on your success in Buffalo! I hope the people there enjoyed Lil Suzy and Angel OCG's performances as much as I did back in August 2022.
Well....all of our experiences were different....I can certainly relate to some of your madness!...I definately indulged for a long time..(I mean..who didnt?)....Yet...I still remember my summers from back in the 80's very fondly!....Freestyle was everywhere...blasting in every car...every boombox...every club!...We were all superstars...and we would start a trend and a historical impact!...
Awesome articles Latif. You inspire me to learn more about Freestyle, the culture and the people. I appreciate your knowledge, your experience that you share with us that keep me and I'm sure many others motivated, and bring back those back in the days memories. The Summertime article really hit the nail on the head for myself. Growing up in a gang and drug environment were rap and hip hop was most popular, I secretly listened to freestyle hiding it from my friends. Something about freestyle that calm my heart and took me to a place where I felt more in peace. My story is long, but so much happened good and bad that now, life has still brought me back to love freestyle culture more than before. Keep grinding, KEEP FREESTYLING!!! Thank You.
