Trama & DJ Snuggles Freestyle Session with Mr. Peter Parker of B9

Now I can’t tell you what every Top 40 hip hop station is like but here in Chicago it’s unbelievably pathetic for a city with such a strong hip hop community. I find it kinda funny as soon as I move away (college) from Minneapolis, B96 (which I bumped casually when in high school) has definitely moved above the rest when it comes to Top 40 hip hop radio. Gotta give it up to Mr. Peter Parker for getting solid acts like Trama and DJ Snuggles in the studio, this is real hip hop right here.

Trama, one of my favorite up and coming MCs outta the Twin Cities (though he was born in Queens) has put together quite the routine with Minnesota native DJ Snuggles. Now if you watch this you will soon realize the talent of a dude like Snuggles as he delivers one of the more refreshing beatbox sessions I’ve heard in a minute. I don’t get why more people don’t do this kinda stuff – beat boxing seems to be a lost art in hip hop culture. I can’t even remember the last time a beatboxing was relevant – besides Rahzel in that Twix commercial.

So make your watch this as Trama and DJ Snuggles make Minnesota proud with a true hip hop routine which I’m sure will have you smiling.

You think Snuggles has anything on this kid though? DAMMMMN.
