Its hosted by one of the queens of freestyle Judy Torres http://www.ktu.com/pages/onair/judytorres.html I worked at KTU for 6 years and its amazing how big a following that genre still has. We used to have freestyle concerts all the time with all the classic performers and the energy at those shows were amazing. oh yeah, for any of you NYC Residents wanting to hear more freestyle, tune into WKTU 103.5FM on Sundays from 9p-12a.

Do you consider "get da hoe" freestyle by Frankie Bones? It's an old one and I'm almost positive its on 4th floor recs. I got it buried in my crates, it even got the acapella of Frankie rapping...lyrics is classic! Lenny Dee certainly is a master of all trades. check out BFE (Brooklyn Funk Essentials) dope breaks, dope electro, white rapping..Lenny Dee, Frank "BONES" Mitchell and Bobby Konders is on the credits also...always wondered if its the same Bobby Konders always getting shouted out on video music box.(Mr Chesler, WIre to the ear is the perfect place for an NYC classic lesson on Video Music box.) "Running away" by Information Society is my fav. Insoc also made "Something in the air" which aint 100% freestyle but makes damm good use of star trek samples and is one of my fav tunes by them. Strafe's "Set it off" ...ill classic..always dropped properly in a freestyle set does some damage on the dance floor. Im not sure if Beltram officially remixed it within the past few years or just sampled it, but the Beltram joint with the strafe samples are off the hook.

Hard to decide whether to put that as my top Freestyle song, or these... Shannon "Let the Music Play" Lisa Lisa "I Wonder if I Take U Home" Does Company B and Exposé count as Freestyle too? There was always at least one "hot" bit in every great Freestyle jam, like a crazy complicated breakdown or maybe some "in your face" intro. I can't think of any good songs with male vocals in them though, unless vocoded of course! Probably my favorite sub-genre of all time! Great pick!
