Many, many rappers talk about whipping up new music within a matter of minutes and freestyling entire projects, but how many can see they have it on video? Documenting his studio session, iLoveMakonnen has served up a new video that captures him cooking up 12 new tracks in the course of two hours. According to the video’s description, each of the 12 songs just took one take, while Makonnen freestyled for eight minutes during the entire two-hour session. And, of course, not a single thing was written during the entire event. Apparently, all Makonnen needs is a phone and he’s good to go. You can check out the studio footage above.
