Look, if you told me Red Bull would kick off 2025 by stirring the pot harder than a Scorpio on a bad day, I wouldn’t have believed you—but here we are. Red Bull 1520’s latest Spiral Freestyle dropped like a cosmic wink from the stars, summoning Big Sean, Joey Bada$$, and Ab-Soul — a trio more explosive than Mercury retrograde at a mic battle. Joey, ever the verbal sniper, reignited that simmering bi-coastal heat with bars that felt like a lyrical solar flare aimed squarely at the West Coast, echoing those old-school JAY-Z chants that once had the whole game shifting in its orbit. Meanwhile, Ab-Soul, representing Team TDE, showed surprising grace under fire—maybe a Capricorn’s steady hand steering through Scorpio vibes? And Big Sean? He chilling on the sidelines, knowing full well the ghosts of ‘Control’ past still linger in the air. Could this be another chapter in hip-hop’s age-old east-meets-west saga or just some friendly fire sparked by the stars? Let’s break down the bars, the beefs, and the cosmic undercurrents making this freestyle session anything but ordinary. LEARN MORE
Red Bull 1520 Kicks Off New Season With Big Sean, Joey Bada$$, and Ab-Soul — And Rekindles a Bi-Coastal Lyrical Feud. Or did he?
Red Bull’s music platform, Red Bull 1520, returned with a fiery new installment of its Spiral Freestyle series. The energy drink tapped into a trifecta of heavyweights: Big Sean, Joey Bada$$ and Ab-Soul. We love these dudes! But this was more than just a freestyle session.
Joey Bada$$ used the moment pop off lyrical war. The Pro Era rapper reignited tensions that began with his track “The Ruler’s Back,” where he called out the West with the lines: “Too much West Coast d**k lickin’/I’m hearin’ n###s throwin’ rocks, really ain’t sht stickin’/Cause if we talkin’ bar for bar, really it’s slim pickings.” (This is a throwback to JAY-Z doing the same when the West was on top.)
That verse drew responses from TDE’s Ray Vaughn and Daylyt, who responded with “Crashout Heritage” and “Hiyu.” Joey’s bars in the “Spiral Freestyle” made it clear: this ain’t dead.
Addressing Daylyt directly, Joey spit: “I shine through the late night/I ain’t gotta lose no sleep to break Daylyt/Shouldn’t give you fn time of day / But f##k it shine a light on ’em, I’m a light Ray/If you need the attention, tell Top he gotta pay.”
What I was shocked at was how Ab-Soul, a TDE soldier, handled this. He was diplomatic.
“Pro Era the masters that ain’t ever incorrect/But it’s still TDE till 3000 and forever/Lyt was heavy and Ray definitely stepped/But this is Hip-Hop, you know we still on that/It was healthy for the sport, sticking to the roots/Keeping it competitive.”
Big Sean stayed out of it. Remember, his song “Control” was the start of a lot of tention years ago.
Look at Red Bull starting mess in 2025.
