Blu, Diamond District, Exile, Fashawn, Trek Life: Freestyle (Live In Paris) (Video)

Underground hip-hop has a huge following in Europe, probably more so in a financial sense than in the states. Thus, acts like Trek Life, Blu, Exile, Fashawn, and Diamond District frequently travel overseas to perform. And last week, they hit the Free the Funk festival in Paris, where all five acts kicked a freestyle for the last 10 minutes of the show. Most impressive visually has to be when Exile jumps from the turntables to the microphone and then to the MPC. Although, to be fair, all of the aforementioned acts certainly helped make this one of the better cyphers I've seen in the past few years.
