Bay Area Rapper Caleborate Spazzes On #Freestyle028 [WATCH]

YO! Let’s just start off by saying early last year I was super hyped and telling everyone about this dope ass Bay Area rapper named Caleborate. Upon showing Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk, them boys instantly agreed.

Since then Caleb has came along way by dropping his ‘1993’ project last year and following that up with this year’s soulful masterpiece, ‘Real Person’.

As you know we are the LA LEAKERS, so we had to get Caleborate in the studio to exercise his lyrical abilities on one of the industry’s realist freestyle series (Shoutout to Sway & Funk Flex), that is the LA LEAKERS. Over 5-minutes my boy torches Drake’s “Pound Cake” and insists on continuing, as he finishes strong over Erykah Badu’s “Bag Lady” instrumental. (I know it’s also Dr. Dre’s “Xxplosive” instrumental…hold your slander).
