HERITAGE: Joe Black Drops Nothing But Hard-Hitting Bars In This Classic Link Up TV Freestyle (2013)


June 16, 2020

Having first emerged in the early 2000s, releasing his debut project in 2004, it wasn't until the end of the decade when he really blew up, thanks to the buzz he built on MySpace with classic tapes like Realionaire and Business As Usual.

The following decade was spent consistently churning out some of the finest freestyles and mixtapes UK rap has ever seen, and this 2013 appearance on Link Up TV's long-running Behind Barz series is one of them.

Taking on instrumentals Joel Ortiz's "Hip Hop", Jay Z's "Somewhereinamerica", Black reminds us why he's one of the most respected in the game with a combination of laid back charm and the innate ability to switch things up at a moment's notice.
