The 195th entry in our DJBooth.net Freestyle Series comes courtesy of Aleon Craft, the ATL native who recently hooked up with DJBooth for reader-acclaimed mixtape The Stargazing Soundtrack. On his brand new, exclusive More Than Expected freestyle, the SMKA Productions emcee flows over original boardwork by SMKA. Aleon Craft is currently preparing to release a short documentary on himself and his just-finished ATL Stargazing Tour, as well as working on his debut full-length, The Solar Hop Chronicles.

Speaking of which, you can catch Yelawolf at two back to back Whynatte-induced nights at Smith’s: Friday, September 3rd, and Saturday, September 4th. What’s more, the first 50 people through the door each night get a ticket that’s redeemable for a free Whynatte Bomb!” – Jesse of Whynatte

Hip Hop enthusiast Kevin Nottingham (KN) founded his popular blog in 2007 in an effort to bridge the gap between all forms of Hip Hop, from old school to new school and including underground to mainstream.
