Another week passed in #thecut, the unofficial hip hop community here and my favorite tag on Steemit! I’m writing these weekly summaries of what I’ve spotted in the cut as it’s still pretty hard to get a good grip of everything going on. I would love to see more people doing something similar from their perspectives to help spread what they like! For some more information what the initial purpose of the tag(#thecut) was or to add ideas for this community just click the picture below.

So, obviously I'm not @privat. He wasn't able to put one out this week and I really love these things and wanted to help a brother out. So I offered and he accepted. I know mine won't be nearly as amazing as his are, he really puts his all into these things. Without further ado, let's get into the collaboration of this week!

Collaboration of the week

There's no other collab. that even came close to how amazing this was. @privat layed down some really thought provoking verses over a tasty tune created by @avesa and @vachemorte, and THEN put it all together in a sick video that was just nuts to me. Very well done, truly enjoyed it.

Go show them some love over at the original post.

Rap of the week

@sribblingwilly really went in on this one. It's about a battle he is having within himself over his forced use of medication and what it might do to him in the long run. It's hard hitting, crazy amazing flow, crazy delivery, passionate... in others word, THIS IS HIP HOP. I dig it, 100000%. Willy is one of the most underrated rappers on the platform and doesn't get nearly as much love as he deserves. Go check out his original post and show some love, this cat deserves it!

Runner ups/Honorable mentions

@scottychams

What's Wrong - Really cool song. Flow is some of the best flow I've seen from scotty so far on Steemit. Was really bobbin to this one, check it out. It's definitely worth the look.

@riggsyfort

Off the top #3 - This guy can flow! As someone who isn't the best at freestyling, me, this guy is crazy. He drops it a couple times, but the flow keeps going and he stays on topic. I dig it. Really dope, and you should definitely go check him out.

@vibekilla

52 WEEKS OF FREESTYLING - WEEK 1 - I love this initiative. This is some good stuff. While the video might be cut and edited to show you the finer parts of the freestyle, I actually like that, because let's be real... With freestyling, sometimes upwards of 60% of it can just be, meh, so cutting to the really dope lines and stuff, I dig that. ALSO, it's a funny ass video, and that's vibe's whole style. If you are looking for interesting and different content, check him out. He's stupidly skilled on the mic, producer, founder of #nolifeclub, dude is a beast.

Thank you for checking it out! Follow @privat for more of these every week!
