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.

Get familiar with Denzel Curry up top.

G-Eazy tells us about having dinner with Jay Z, and dropping three songs at once.

We caught up with Young Gerald aka G-Eazy shortly before he unleashed a trifecta of new music on his Soundcloud. The rapper brought us up to speed on what he's been up to lately, which apparently includes hitting up a steakhouse with Hov.

"Man, I met Jay Z and was hella star struck. I had dinner with him, and it was exactly what you'd think. He's him, literally. We're at a steakhouse in Midtown eating lobster, we're talking about gangsta movies, we're talking about basketball, and he's telling a story about Suge Knight. Literally, like, is this real right now?" G-Eazy says of the one-on-one with Jay.

Apart from having dinners with one of the greatest, G-Eazy has been studio-obsessed. Obviously, since, whenever he drops something, it tends to be a three-for-one deal. "We're just sitting on so much music, and it's like, while people have to wait for the album we wanna give them something. I just like dropping three songs at a time," he says of the move.

The Bay Area native also expands on one those recent releases, "Running," where he raps about spending time in New Orleans. He tells us more about that time of his life in the video above. Take a look.

Watch Audio Push play our game of "This or That." as part of our new video series, where we get artists to answer a series of questions, weighing two options against each other. Gunplay was featured in the first episode, and now we've got Oktane and Price in a new "This Or That."

It's definitely a bit more difficult to play the game with two people, because sometimes their opinions vary, but for the most part these two seem to be in agreeance with each other-- when it comes to Drake or Meek Mill, they both quickly agree on Drake. This about sums it up: "Drake, damn Drake, damn. Damn Drake."

They also weigh in on West or East, Texting or Calling and many more.

Watch above and stay tuned for more "This or That" episodes.
