The Beat Yard: What type of beats bring out the best in what you do as an artist?
Freestyle: Beats that aren't the same sh*t you've heard before. I tend to get a lot of beats that sound like everything from the past or everything that everybody else is doing. Beats that have a fresh, different sound tend to bring out the best in me.
The Beat Yard: Who are some of the beatmakers that you've worked with in the past, as a solo artist and with The Arsonists?
Freestyle: The Arsonists, D.R. Period ("ante up" by M.O.P), RZA (Wu Tang), Stieber Twins, Snowgoons, Leyone Tracks, Embee (looptroop), Microphono, Max Mostley, MGI (Henri Lanz), Sakke, Meisterbeatz, Eversor, and many more...

The Beat Yard: Do you buy beats?
Freestyle: I sell beats! If the beat is incredible, i'll pay for it! Otherwise, I don't make enough cash to justify paying for all my beats.
