People always complain that things like this "aren't freestyles". In UK Grime culture these radio spots are a chance for the rapper to write something and impress people. Often bars that are written for radio are never used on produced songs, they will spit these bars on radio sets and at raves. Because of all this to me it doesn't really matter, at this point no rappers are freestyling but these radio sets give us another way to receive the music in non song form which is important to grime.

Here's a playlist I made from my personal favorite FITBs
Man's not hot
Avelino's was fire too. It doesn't get the credit it deserves.
"Where I'm from there ain't no helping hands/ There's just gang signs/ Holy water flows/ When you hear BAP/ That's short for Baptize"
That was from memory because I've listened to this freestyle that much. Brilliant stuff from both dudes. But damn Avelino went in and demolished that beat.
Love the other guy with this "oh nooo don't do em like that" face the whole time. I was looking the same way listening to this
That's was Fucking doooope!!
M8 he is good
