Earlier today, both T-Pain and Bryson Tiller spoke out about being mislabeled within the music industry— mostly referring to the idea that they are “rappers.” “We’re just inspired by Rap music (as we should be because what’s life without Rap music) but at the Core it’s R&B!! Rapper Turnt Sanga! Sanga Turnt Rapper! perspective,” Tiller proclaimed.

That all being said, he’s definitely getting his rap on in this latest edition of Guapdad 4000’s “Rona Raps” series. The series came to fruition because of the COVID-19 times, and while social distancing may be lightening up a bit around the world, “Rona Raps” shows no signs of slowing down.

This particular episode follows up his session with TDE artist SiR and Shady Records artist Boogie, capping off the series at the ninth instalment. Guapdad has been flipping classic instrumentals for the series too, it’s worth noting.

Bryson Tiller kicks off the freestyle, with Guapdad taking over for the second half. Take a listen and let us know if you consider Bryson a rapper or not.

If one thing has become a constant, it’s the arrival of Guapdad 4000’s amazing “Rona Raps” series. Should you be unfamiliar with the premise, it’s relatively simple. A socially-distant Guapdad lights the signal, and before long his extensive list of hip-hop pals come a-calling. We’ve already seen appearances from Buddy, Lil Yachty, Curren$y, Rich Brian, Wiz Khalifa, Wowgr8, Murs, Kota the Friend, Denzel Curry, and many more — all of whom have done their part in dulling the quarantine-induced malaise.

Today, the latest episode has arrived featuring TDE‘s SiR and Shady Records’ Boogie, both of whom join Guapdad on Destiny’s Child’s classic “Say My Name” instrumental. At this point, it’s become quite clear that Guap is one of the nicest young rappers when it comes to the bars, his references sharp and his comedic timing impeccable. This one is no exception, as the Ferragamo Falcon takes to the up-tempo beat with little to no effort.

Upon passing the mic to SiR, the vibe takes an about-face turn though by no means in a negative way; TDE’s melodist brings no shortage of Inglewood swagger to the mix, his stop-and-start delivery a breath of fresh air. Closing things out is Boogie, joined by an additional harmonist as he fires off reflections. “I’m buying weed like everyday, this shit go too soon,” he raps. “I swear this shit don’t even get me faded like it used to / can’t be in the room no mo’, been sick in the hood I’m damn near immune, you know.”

Guapdad 4000 has been filling the void left by the absence of proper radio freestyles, which has all but ensured a scarcity of BARS. Thanks to his ongoing collaborative series Rona Raps, currently enjoying its fifth week, Guap has been ably keeping the spirit alive. With previous appearances from Buddy, Chris Brown, Denzel Curry, Wiz Khalifa, Rich Brian, and Lil Yachty, his fifth episode finds him calling on Joey Bada$$ and Curren$y to lay waste to an Akon classic.

Though he’s in esteemed company, Guap once again proves he’s among the game’s wittiest punchline rappers. “Skeet skeet on a pastor’s daughter at the church rap, she gave me big top on Sundays – that’s my church hat,” he raps. “Grill bounce light off my face, that’s solar flexin / give her something light in her stomach, that solar plexus.” Joey Bada$$ slides in next, his reflection on the current state of affairs appropriately bleak. “2020 vision shit that I done foreseen, walking outside shit looking like a horror scene,” he raps. “Can’t even cop no groceries without no glove and mask / everybody lookin’ like they bout to do a dash.”

It’s Curren$y, however, who steals the show with a dexterous update on his own situation. “I just copped a Rolls truck and I can’t roll around, unless I’m going to the store for somethin’ essential,” laments Spitta. “Lysol, toilet tissue, plastic cups, liquor, sour skittles / Hot Wheels i buy for my son? my grown ass, I be in the house playing with him.” Check it out for yourself, and should it make you want to revisit Akon and Styles P‘s classic “Locked Up,” take comfort in knowing that you wouldn’t be alone.

Guapdad 4000 has been filling a void in this post-quarantine world of ours, picking up where Funkmaster Flex and the LA Leakers left off as a key purveyor of BARS. For three weeks now, the Valentino Viper has been hosting the "Rona Raps" series, which finds he and his friends kicking bars Instagram. The first week featured he and Buddy ripping a J. Dilla banger. The second brought Chris Brown into the mix for a take on Q-Tip's "Vivrant Thing." Now, Guap has linked with Wiz Khalifa and Denzel Curry for his biggest installment yet.

Over Luniz classic "I Got 5 On It," Guap sets it off with yet another fire verse, proving that even in a casual state he's deadly with the words. "Walls famous like the Chinese one that hold the greatest / came up from running with cons, we all gangest," he spits, keeping the bars coming. "I might call up Chance The Rapper ask him what the Lord do, cause my raps is getting acidy they hydrochlorical."

"With all this Rona shit I got the ski mask on," spits Denzel Curry, growing out a quarantine beard for the occasion. "I ain't rapping fast, this ain't a ski mask song." As his verse progresses, the commentary emerges. "Fuck, I tell em it's no love," he declares, a changed man. "I don't want to dap, clap you up, and there's no hugs / stay your ass home, dance around in your bitch Uggs."

Sliding in from Denzel's makeshift hook, Wiz closes things out with a veteran's swagger. "Roll the weed pass it, n***as taking pieces of styles I already mastered," he spits. "Kush tastes fresh I just busted it out the plastic / social detachment being practiced, just me and a bad bitch plus I'm still stackin'." Check out the full episode below, and sound off - has "Rona Raps" made you pledge your loyalty to Guapdad's cause?

Roughly a week has passed since Guapdad 4000 launched his ongoing "Rona Raps" series with an appearance from Buddy, and today's latest episode finds the Scamboy connecting with Chris Brown for a new batch of quarantine bars. Though you might think the subject matter would be tiresome by now, the fact that we're all in this together injects the verses with a feeling of camaraderie; after all, what does misery love if not company?

Taking to the Q-Tip's classic "Vivrant Thing" instrumental, Guapdad sets it off with some heat. "They said how'd you get corona boy, well shit is different," he spits. "I heard she was easy and pussy was killin n***as / I met her on the flight after a tour when I was leavin / I touched her, she came on me then I had trouble breathing." The schemes continue as he wraps up, reflecting on how "the industry like acne, your face get mushed / the whiteheads pop easy, the blackheads need a push." 

Next up is Chris Brown in full Fallout 4 attire, foregoing his usual sung delivery to remind the masses how he gets down. "This damn virus got me stuck home," he raps. "Hopin that me and my family get the fuck on / when it's over, ladies I'm trying to get my fuck on / spraying the disinfectant like it's cologne." The onslaught continues as he finds a new pocket -- "My girl a Fashionova freak, well I guess I'm fashion overload / got a long stick in the drum like I'm Pinocchio / coronavirus try to hit me? I do the rope-a-dope."

A scammer with a heart of gold, Guapdad 4000 has officially done his part to combat the inevitable reality of cabin fever. Though in-person collaborations will fall to a minimum in the weeks to come, the Ferragamo Falcon has concocted a brilliant scheme to keep his skills sharp and his fans entertained. Introducing "RONA RAPS," an online cypher organized by Guap and co-hosted by one of his many emcee friends. For the inaugural launch, Guap has brought Buddy into the mix, who opted to choose a J Dilla classic for the occasion.

Despite the relatively low-stakes nature of the freestyle, Guapdad 4000 actually snaps. "Boss shit, I got options, I could opt in / I see red, pew, I'm Cyclops with the optics," he spits, before sliding into comedian mode. "Balls only blue when I fuck my crip bitch, she be like -- I'm cummin' Cuz." From there, the effortless flow only picks up, closing out with some heat. "It's the Rona Rap raptor, I'm sitting at home watching bad actors, hoping that this shit is not the rapture."

After a hearty proclamation of "quaran-sixteens," Buddy holds it down with the second verse, basing the majority of his flow-scheme around the hypnotic vocal sample. "Talking this and that, I heard the album and I thought the shit was wack," spits Buddy, Toy Story mug in hand for added impact. "I never would play myself out like that, but uhhhhhh I guess that's where you at n***a!" It didn't take long for rappers like Chance The Rapper, Mez, Yung Baby Tate, Lute, and more to hit the comment section feeling all the more inspired. Keep an eye out for Guapdad's next episode of "Rona Raps," which is set to feature an appearance from Smino.
