Freestyle Culture. Yes, it exists, we see in the pictures, the videos, the interviews, the events that these awesome freestyle artists are part of. But it is more than just all these things and the music. I don't know the freestyle artist personally, but I've gotten to know them through what they put out on social media. I see the closeness freestyle artist have with each other. How one artist will go out of their way to support another freestyle artist. After all these years how, these artists get together at an event and support each other and have a great time and give great performances. I'm not saying the freestyle culture is perfect, I'm sure it has its hiccups. Freestyle culture is more modest, their fans have followed the culture since the 80's or maybe earlier, and so has hip hop fans. Hip Hop fans range from very young to fans from when Hip Hop started. I believe freestyle will bust out of the bubble it's been stuck in. I appreciate all the producers, promoters, managers, booking agents, DJ's that are doing their parts to keep freestyle alive. Can't forget the Freestyle artist your awesome and the fans that show up to every event to support them. Much appreciate the Freestyle Blast Latif. Thank You brother.
