I keep seeing Locksmith everywhere in my feed. That track he did with Jarren, then the Okwerdz freestyle, and now this TBP verse. I think it's time I actually look at his work.
An update for anyone that's interested. I did actually listen to all of his work after that post, and since then he's become one of my favorite artists. Futuristic, Snow Tha Product, Merkules, Wrekonize, and Dirtbag Dan are some other favorites, if you were wondering. Papa J I really liked The Green Box, it took me two or three plays to get it, but once I understood what The Green Box was the entire album fell into place for me. I don't have a preference for any particular album. I can just put on a Locksmith playlist and focus on work, and the same goes for any of the above artists.
brandon king That’s debatable, Ra himself said elzhi and locksmith are two of the best lyricist ever. That’s coming from a legend and lyrical god himself.
This is one of my favorite Locksmith verses of all time. I would've loved to see Jeff Turner on this beat as well. Those two go together so well, lyrically.
Saw Locksmith in the title and knew this was gonna get my like before listening. Then I remembered GQ from the cypher a few weeks back and it was definite.
I came across Locksmith a few weeks ago and cannot stop listening! I have been spreading the word to friends like wildfire...Lock is pure genius! Thank you for the 🔥 lyricism
Every time I show someone a locksmith verse they became a fan instantly. The dude is marketable no matter how intelligent his shit is. I respect the fact that he refuses to dumb down for the mass media and stays in his lane. Love from c.o. lock do a show for us sometime.
I'm digging GQ's flow, he killed it. So did Lock of course. Definitely in the top 5 cyphers this year, maybe top 3. Would be better if lock got his hand off the mic
I went to go visit family in NC recently. While kicking w my Fam one of my cousins asked my 3 favorite tracks of all time. I had to bless him with the magic No Magic but damnit I passed it. Shine Strong Brothers.
I've never heard of GQ until today, but @iamlocksmith I think I heard a verse from you on NBA 2K I think one time. I am a Film maker in the making and I love real hip hop music especially cypher yall killed this joint. I am definitely going to listen to more of yall independent projects.
Locksmith and GQ are the dynamic dual. I like how locksmith is chilling looking out the window knowing he’s about to kill it. Locksmith is the ultimate Super Sayan glowing as he spits 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Locksmith is huge inspiration to me as an artist, this man spits the realest hiphop music and has so much power with his words, nobody, i repeat, NOBODY can fuck with locksmith, he shits on the industry like no other, props to you lock you deserve it keep grinding💯
Man, y'all. Someone just sent me a link to this clip and I gotta say, this, right here, made my damn year. Real talk. I wasn't even sure if cats were still flowin' like this. This gives me HOPE that real M.C.s will never let that true hip-hop die. This brings me back to the days when political dopeness, lyrical skills, and knowledge reigned supreme--over nearly everyone. Props. I will be peeping your work; it's been a while since anything new has piqued my interest.
they both killed it. i think locksmith just intently listens but he sits there with his arms crossed and looks like he’s about to fall asleep when GQ spits lol
I wouldn't even TRY to rap after locksmith...The more I listen...The more I want to listen...bars on bars on bars...and it has MEANING!...SO REFRESHING TO HEAR
BOTH GQ and Lock are amazing rappers who speak the truest bars ive seen/heard yet. They put me to shame. Course i prolly havent worked at it hard as they have.. EITHER WAY, MAJOR LIKES AND LOVE TO TEAM BACKPACK!
Yo thank you for making real art that inspires people to think for themselves. I am reppin Locksmith to wake up the masses. death to trap music. raise the bars or get laughed at
Thank u guys so much for all the luv! Much luv to Team Backpack and my brotha GQ who straight killed this!
Love from india brother !
Lock no bs I promote your music everywhere I can. We need real spittas in hip hop like you. Keep killing shit bro
iamlocksmith This verse was legendary...
That verse was dope as fuck
iamlocksmith You're fuckin' sick. To the toooooppp
not only are they both putting quality lyrics out there, they're both wearing their seatbelts. setting fantastic examples for society
Lol I didn't even notice
Noticed that too
Shit had me dying laughing for some reason haha
Forty Deebz safety first in hiphoplyft always👍🏾👏🏾
HAHAHAHA
Locksmith snapped at the end on the government and two party system. I love hearing these artists talk about real issues.
Ethan Schmidt True story, still on that Yang Gang
Lock dropped more knowledge in 2 mins than most artists do in their whole career. The two party fraud is something folks need to take heed of
I keep seeing Locksmith everywhere in my feed. That track he did with Jarren, then the Okwerdz freestyle, and now this TBP verse. I think it's time I actually look at his work.
Perry Latour I was thinking the same thing! Dude is the truth.
Vincent Bradley Jr you need to hear his album A Thousand Cuts it will not disappoint
Alan Romero forsure bro, I'll fuck wit it
Listen to The Green Box, I liked it more than a thousand cuts, both are worth the listen tho

Damn Lock, you educated me more in this cypher in comparison to my whole senior year in high school. Fuuuu
If you rap with locksmith you better bring your best materials.
no doubt
And GQ certainly did.
Bro lock shits on anyone he raps with. Even R.a lol
5 yrs later I still watch this in amazement! Y'all brother's murda it!.
Same!
GQ killed it.
But I'm yet to see someone outshine Lock
I think RA The Rugged Man might be the only one, but not even eminem is on this level and thats saying a lot
Smith did. Lol 😆

@@ello7034 FACTS... my brotha... FACTS 💯.
This needs billions of views. 100k is an insult... this is what true raw talent looks like. smh
This is one of my favorite Locksmith verses of all time. I would've loved to see Jeff Turner on this beat as well. Those two go together so well, lyrically.
Saw Locksmith in the title and knew this was gonna get my like before listening. Then I remembered GQ from the cypher a few weeks back and it was definite.
Lol same
Yuh
My exact thought
GQ has a nice flow, great verse and Lock killed it as usual. Thanks for the real Hip Hop!
Good to hear from the great lock smith.
Back here in Jan. 2024 this shit is still 🔥🔥
I came across Locksmith a few weeks ago and cannot stop listening! I have been spreading the word to friends like wildfire...Lock is pure genius! Thank you for the 🔥 lyricism
GQ killed it too. Why am I addicted to rewinding this? Two raw MCs. Thank you.
This was good for my soul.
Yup! Also pissed me off at the system. Feel sorry for the sheep

zach1936wasmyyear same here dude people just sit in awe when they listen to this dude for the first time
after re-listening to this 5 years later lock's verse really hit me hard
GQ listening to Lock like "Fuck".
hahahaha I was thinking the same thing
Official rap regulations state that you must always have a fire extinguisher at the ready when locksmith is close by.
Both of y'all are hella sick. I can dig the bars!!
I'm digging GQ's flow, he killed it. So did Lock of course. Definitely in the top 5 cyphers this year, maybe top 3. Would be better if lock got his hand off the mic

1000 likes vs 8 dislikes means this cypher is one of the best overall cyphers of the year. MUCH RESPECT GQ AND LOCKSMITH!!!!
So much truth and knowledge in there! .... Damn.
Locksmith has the talent of Nas, Eminem, Kool G Rap, and other greats. His flow and lyrics are too good.
Peace from CT!
