Watch Juice WRLD and YBN Cordae’s 14-Minute Freestyle
Written by SOURCE on May 2, 2019
The freestyling prowess of both Juice WRLD and YBN Cordae is well-documented, with the former famously going in for an entire hour during a pair of Tim Westwood performances last year.
Now, a 14-minute clip of the two exchanging freestyled lines has surfaced. The clip, originally included in a recent No Jumper x Coachella vlog filmed by @ChrisLongFilms, sees the two going back and forth a cappella while revising their respective lines in real time.
The clip is best enjoyed by, ya know, watching it. That said, it’s worth pointing out Juice’s choice “We not from Earth but we came through like a Martian” line, as well as Cordae’s later Lauryn Hill shoutout.
The full vlog follows Juice WRLD during the second weekend of Coachella, where he performed with his WRLD on Drugs collaborator Future. Juice freestyles throughout the full 28-minute video, which you can find below:
At Wednesday night’s Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, Juice WRLD took home Top New Artist honors. His sophomore album, Death Race for Love, arrived back in March.
YBN Cordae, meanwhile, is fresh off a major 2018 of his own that included the release of the collective YBN: The Mixtape.
Speaking with Complex in December, Cordae outlined his creative approach as one centered in reinvention. “Hopefully, somebody who’s hearing my music, it’s relatable to them, and it strikes a chord with them,” he said.
