Late Night Sessions: "Groovy (Freestyle)  

 

 

 

Summer passed by too fast! So, Fall Late Night Sessions anyone...? We got you covered with Late Night Sessions every season.

As always, here are the rules for J-RED's freestyles:

  • He doesn't write or memorize any of these lines, ever.
  • We don't do multiple takes or cut lines together. It is one take, always.
  • We like to add some effects, processing, adlibs, etc., but they are always added after the one and only initial recording.

Enjoy the newest freestyle from J-RED, "Groovy"

Late Night Sessions: "Me & You (Freestyle)"  

That's right! It's another entry in Late Night Sessions!  

The J-RED crew has been crushing it since our last LNS; we put out two EPs, we are about to drop the first album release of 2020, and we have some awesome stuff in the works for your ears (and eyes) to enjoy. Today though, we thought we'd hit you with another freestyle because, let's face it, J-RED needed the break from convention. 

If you've never experienced a freestyle from J-RED before, let me give you some quick info:  

  • He doesn't write or memorize any of these lines, ever. 
  • We don't do multiple takes or cut lines together. It is one take, always.  
  • We like to add some effects, processing, adlibs, etc., but they are always added after the one and only initial recording.

Without further ado...

Late Night Sessions: "Got Dem Girls (Freestyle)"  

Late night sessions with J-RED aka Dabest aren't anything new. J-RED comes to the studio (previously the dorms at Pitt) and freestyles (is begged to freestyle) on unfinished beats, new beats, beats we like, or whatever else everyone is feeling that day. The difference is, we are now sharing our late night recordings with you!

J-RED's freestyles are never written, memorized, etc. The music comes from the dome...every.single.time. It is one of the things the fans love most at live shows and we are planning to release a video in 2020 to make sure everyone knows it's real. Until then, here's the newest freestyle "Got Dem Girls"!
