    From Hartford to URL: Kyd Slade on Respect, Rounds & Realness

    In this exclusive sit-down, we tap in with Kyd Slade, one of the most talked-about names in battle rap today. Repping Connecticut with pride and pressure, Slade speaks on the streets that raised him, the bars that built him, and the paperwork controversy that tried to stain his name. We ask the real questions: – How far can battle rap really go before it crosses a line? – Do snitch allegations kill careers or fuel hunger? – Can authenticity survive in a world where image and entertainment blur? Kyd Slade opens up about how he crafts rounds, who’s hit him with the hardest bars, and the battles that shaped his mindset. Plus, he plays our “Who Wins?” fantasy matchup game—putting legends head-to-head from Lux to Nitty. This is more than battle rap—this is culture, accountability, and bar-for-bar legacy. Tap in. No filters. No politics. Just facts and flame. All episodes are recorded edited and owned by Weed & Whiskey Subscribe to our YOUTUBE for videos of our episodes and more!
