Rapsody reaffirmed her status as one of hip-hop’s best rappers yet again in a freestyle that demonstrated her supreme skill and quick wit. During a Dec 2024 appearance on Sway In The Morning, the North Carolina rapper graced the stage to rap over Kendrick Lamar’s “TV Off” instrumental, and today, the show’s official YouTube channel uploaded the clip for everyone to enjoy.
A purveyor of quirky lyricism and a dominating stage presence, Rapsody started the show with the type of verse that makes you listen to the whole song from the first bar. The freestyle was unfiltered proof that Rapsody can spit and weave thought-provoking rhymes off the cuff. Sway, who has been an influential overseas talent breaking personality, never hesitated to give Rapsody her flowers, calling her a “real” hip-hop artist for her genuineness and her ability to command attention. This off-the-cuff performance says a lot about who Rapsody has become as an artist. Throughout the years, she has consistently held her own in the rap game, and her appearance on Sway solidified that. In addition to freestyling, Rapsody discussed her Grammy nominations, Drake’s lawsuit against UMG, and how she has managed to evolve as an artist.

Not to mention, for those who have been following Rapsody’s journey, this freestyle is another reminder of her progression, considering this is well over her fifth appearance on Sway In The Morning since her debut in 2013. She first brought the heat before dropping her acclaimed mixtape, She Got Game, and has been back with us several times since then in well-remembered sessions with both Lupe Fiasco and Robert Glasper. At the start of 2025, she won the Grammy Award for Best Melodic Rap Performance for her song “3:AM” with Erykah Badu, further solidifying her spot in hip-hop history. The latest freestyle serves as a reminder of Rapsody’s greatness and her continued ability to push boundaries and challenge norms in an ever-evolving hip-hop landscape.
