Joyner Lucas Freestyles Backwards On Hot 97 With Funkmaster Flex

Joyner Lucas stopped by Hot 97 with Funkmaster Flex to show off his freestyle skills. Rather than go the traditional route, the New England rapper decided to take on the challenge of rapping backward off the dome. Over the beats to “Nas Is Like” from the rapper’s 1999 album I Am…, and 2003’s “Realest N***as” by 50 Cent featuring Notorious B.I.G., the rapper tapped into his creative talents.

“Tell your favorite rappers I’m home, and back for supper/ The day you beat me is the day Chilli get back with Usher,” he rapped in the lyrical showcase.
