Richmond, California’s Locksmith is a decorated veteran MC who makes music with substance. He has made songs with Xzibit, KXNG Crooked, Ras Kass, Apathy, and others along the way. However, the East Bay lyricist is also known for being the source of incredible freestyles. Over the last decade and a half, the MC has dazzled Sway In The Morning, the late Kay Slay’s radio show, and other outlets. His on-the-spot raps are some of the best in all of Hip-Hop. As 2024 begins to unfold, Locksmith has set the new standard with a 10-minute freestyle that Sway Calloway declares the year’s best. While that is a bold prediction, it is hard to imagine anything sharper than this airtight display.
