Spectacular RGM "Freestyle 9." VIDEO

M7 turns a supposed compliment into an accusation on “Freestyle 9.” When white people call him intellectual, he argues, their surprise exposes what they expected of him. That passage gives the ninth installment of the Spectacular RGM freestyle series a specific point of friction, as M7 and Japreme Magnetic, also known as Almighty JM, place social observation beside boasts, weapons and financial imagery. The pairing already has a recording history in Spectacular RGM: Price is Incidental., with both MCs writing rhymes, Jimmy Whispers producing and M7 serving as executive producer. Japreme’s earlier groups include Actual Facts and the Seers. His work with John Banes also predates this partnership: on the 2019 release Japreme Magnetic., they shared sample selection, while Banes handled drums and mixing. Its song “R.G.M.” gave the initials several meanings, including Righteous GentleMen and Real God Music. “Freestyle 9.” continues that vocabulary of divine identity while bringing it into everyday detail. JM moves from a brokerage account to worn New Balance 990s; M7 moves from the racial assumptions behind praise to a declaration of artistic independence. Their writing puts money, personal authority and the way others perceive them into the same conversation.
