Ghostface Killah, Twista, and Cassidy represent three vastly differently Hip-Hop stories. However, they prove they can perform together with finesse. In the early 1990s, G.F.K. and Tung Twista each burst onto the scene with unconventional, highly-gravitational deliveries. While the Speedknot Mobstaz O.G. spit his bars with AK-47 precision and nimble cadence, Wu-Tang Clan’s ornery lyricist would extend bars, sometimes disregard rhyming couplets, and deliberately go off beat to make his points felt. In each case, these artists have careers that are over 20 years strong. Drive Slow Through Twista & Do Or Die’s Collaborative EP (Album Stream) For Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s Cassidy, he would emerge during the incline of the 2000s Battle Rap era. The would-be J Records star was one of the few battle-tested MCs who could use punchlines and drawn-out similes, and translate it to commercial, crossover success. People who never knew Battle Rap existed somehow knew the directions to “Hotel” and the follow-along anti-dance song “My Drink n My 2 Step.”

Team Backpack assembled this unlikely lineup of MCs for a one-night-only cypher performance in New York City. To start things off, Twista begins with a straightforward delivery—rapping as well as any MC of his caliber. About halfway into his set, he takes flight and goes to lyrical speeds that others could not even get close to. Even live, Heads can hear the lyrics from the Windy City warrior—and he may be stealing the show. Wu-Tang Clan’s Next Album Is In Ghostface Killah’s Hands Ghost, raspy voice and all, uses his cypher verse to do some storytelling. Using some real street figure names, this linear tale of caution feels like a verse that could fit on a W.T.C. LP, or albums such as Fishscale. Cassidy, who has not released an album in nearly six years, plays clean-up. The onetime Swizz Beatz protege and Ruff Ryders Entertainment affiliate shows that while he’s not been prolific, he has not grown rusty. Holding to his punchline, witty style, the MC with the nasal delivery finishes out the triple-play.

Ghostface Killah Keeps O.D.B.’s Raw Spirit Alive In His Stage Show (Video) On paper, this collaboration might raise eyebrows. On stage, all three of these acclaimed artists are themselves, and keep it moving for a strong performance of three completely different rhyme styles.

Freddie Joachim : One of my standout memories when I was a kid was when I was stealing my sister’s cassettes. Luckily for me, my sister was listening to a lot of hip-hop like De La Soul or A Tribe Called Quest. What are you currently working on ? I’m working on a new album coming out in 2015 and I’m helping my label Mellow Orange to release our artists.

These are the two things I am focusing on rightnow. Do you consider yourself more like a producer or a DJ ?I feel that on my downtime it’s the producing side and then when I’m more an activist, going out, I’m a DJ. I try to balance those two aspects. You live in San Diego. How is hip-hop scene over there ? It is very small, everyone knows each other, we are all a part of everybody. But because of it, there is also very little room for us to flourish, that’s why I decided to move to Los Angeles for a while (10 years) before moving back to San Diego. What would be your dream collaboration ?Any artist who I grew up with like ATCQ, De La Soul, Common, Erykah Badu would be a dream. Those are people that I have always admired. What do you know about hip-hop in France and Europe ? Well, I’ve always been a fan of Hocus Pocus since the beginning, since C2C. 20syl is a great producer. What I feel is that the Europeans are really embracing the 90s boom-bap era.

I think it’s the biggest thing rightnow. What do you think about the current trend of artists dropping more singles and remixes instead of solid LP projects ? People are just dropping singles and remixes because it’s so easy to do ! You just put it online, it’s accessible to everybody, right away. Back in the days, people had limited time in studios so if they were going to spend so much money on a recording studio then they had to make it worthwile getting a whole project done. But now everybody has its own studio at home and they can upload a song they recorded last night the next day. But what is your philosophy concerning your own work ? I guess it depends. For my next LP I want people to have the full experience and listen to it from top to bottom, because it’s presenting something that’s like a new me instead of recycling the old stuff I have. But on the other hand, music is moving so fast rightnow that you have to stay connected to your audience by dropping some singles every now and then.
