On the World Wide Web, where everyone with a mic and a Wi-Fi connection thinks they can rap, only a handful of wordsmiths truly stand out. And by some miracle (or just good taste), the best of them end up on On The Radar, a music platform where bars actually slap and flows aren’t on life support. An authority in its own right, rapping against the American show’s neon green logo has become a litmus test for who’s raising the bar and who’s barely clearing it.
Having seen the likes of Drake, Ice Spice, and Central Cee pass through its booth, On The Radar—founded by Gabe P—ˆ has cemented itself as the unofficial proving ground for street poets who are chasing credibility over clout. But here’s the thing: you don’t ask to perform on On The Radar, you get chosen. And lucky for us, a few from our region have made the cut. Six of our favorite freestyles, just below.
