Some bonus footage from our Word On The Street adventures. When you're a hip-hop site going up to random strangers, and one of those random strangers happens to be a fledgling rapper, a freestyle is bound to happen. Does dude have #BARS, like he claims? Let us know what you think of him in the comments.

Bad Lucc swung by HNHH offices last week to give us the insides scoop of his Breathe project. While he was here, we convinced him to spit an acapella freestyle. Clocking in at under a minute, the freestyle is short but Bad Lucc more than makes up for it with his ruthlessness.

"Never putting faith in the game made me a titan," he raps. "Seen it, did it, been it, that's what I'm writing I'm the realest since Cube, made his way to the east, I'm Chuck D with a crease and his khakis on fleek."

BOOM.

Watch Mark Battles spit an acapella freestyle on our fire escape.

By now, if you follow our YouTube output, you'll recognize the fire escape steps as a spot where freestyles go down. Everyone from Twista to Boogie to Emilio Rojas has freestyled on the fire escape, and the latest rapper to give it a go is Mark Battles.

The Fly America founder has been busy promoting his debut album, Numb, which dropped the other month, and included records like the King Los-featured "Going." However, he's always got bars on deck, and he didn't hesitate to spit off the cuff for us. Check it out above.

A quick recap of the CMJ Takeover last night, featuring Jay Electronica, Donmonique, Jay IDK and more.

Last night, the HNHH-sponsored CMJ Takeover went down at Santos House Party in NYC. Although we only really announced the event a day prior, fans came out in hoards, likely for the headliner, Jay Electronica. The reclusive rapper killed his set, but not before proclaiming, "My name is Jay Electronica. I'm from New Orleans, Louisana. The state of hip-hop is fucked up." What do you think of his claim?

In addition to Jay Elect running through cuts like "Exhibit A," "Shiny Suit Theory" and more fan-favorites, NYC's own Donmonique also graced the stage, as well as Jay IDK (currently buzzing off SubTrap), and Jet Life staple Young Roddy.

Denzel Curry got next, for On The Come Up.

Denzel Curry, a native of Carol City, Miami, first found some notoriety as a member of SpaceGhostPurrp's Raider Klan. The buzz continued over as he distanced himself from Raider Klan, going on to tour with Joey Bada$$ and releasing projects like 32 Zel / Planet Shrooms (just this past summer).

When the rapper visited NYC, we had him to our office for an episode of On The Come Up. Denzel runs through life growing up in Miami, his influences and what he was listening to as a young'n, growing apart from Raider Klan, and much more.

"Fresh in the all white," HNHH's own Joshua Baker headed to the red carpet of the 2015 BET Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles to interview the best and brightest from this year's crop of stars. Watch as Baker chops it up with Elijah Blake, Tink, DJ Mustard, OG Maco, Migos, Rae Sremmurd, and many more.

Today marks the release of Migos' long-awaited debut album, Yung Rich Nation (stream it here). While 2/3rds of the group, Takeoff and Quavo, were in NYC this week, we sat down with them to discuss the new project, Offset's status, the Noisey ATL documentary, and their signature ad-libs.

On the subject of Offset, who's still behind bars, Takeoff said, "We just got off the phone with him. He's kickin' it, he's in good spirits, he's living life. He's about to come home soon, he's straight, head up."

After you're finished with the full interview, be sure to cop Yung Rich Nation on iTunes.
