The concept is simple. Five words. One rhyme. Hyphon took the challenge with the following words: liability, pilot, scrumptious, light bulb and two percent. Check it.

A few weeks back O and I had the idea to kick off a new series on the blog. So, we bring you Beats & Rhymes. One producer. One emcee. One track. Often times it will be freestyled, others will be written. We think this will be a dope space to spotlight one producer and emcee. Up first, Willie Green (producer) and Premonition (emcee). Enjoy!
