It’s deeply concerning that anyone could add any artist’s music to a bot-driven Spotify playlist, which could result in that artist’s music being removed.

Listen to “No Matter What” by Jackson Whalan, a classic, alternative hip-hop single, out now on all streaming platforms. Here is the story behind the song.
In this blog post, I share a bit about how I freestyle: why I love it, how I learned, and some straight-forward techniques and exercises that I use to stay on my toes and get better.
