This morning (October 11), Brooklyn, New York MC Torae released his latest project, All Praises Due. Dropping on his Internal Affairs Ent., the rapper, radio host, podcaster, and actor teams with producer Praise for an eight-track effort that offers a pure Hip-Hop display.

This week, the Barrel Brothers co-founder stopped by Sway In The Morning. Tor’ tried something different; he is a guest who answers his the questions of the interview in the form of freestyle verse. At 1:40, the MC who has worked with DJ Premier, Pete Rock, 9th Wonder, Masta Ace, and Phonte begins an explanation of his place in the game. Sway tells the Shade 45 audience that he is going to show them what a true MC is, declaring, “Let’s get right to it.”

Torae responds, “I’ma get right to it / My write’-infatuation is fluid /Double-pump action, retraction is how I do it / Sway In The Morning is who I bring in with my crew’in / You know what I’m doin’ / I’m still ‘Parker Lewis’ / I mean ‘Parker Lewis,’ my ni**a, I couldn’t lose it / Microphone spazzin’ / We grad’in, is how I do it / Once you put the beat on / I put the heat on / I put the street on.”

With Heather B beside Torae, Sway carries on an interview as he would with any of his guests. From how Torae feels about fake MCs, to the shift from listening methods to providing some background about his producer, the replies are all off the top of the head, in freestyle-form.
