+Muzi N his latest album and the Definition man. first few listens I was iffy. My older bro was playing him in his car. The next day I starting listening to him again and listened to nothing else for the next two months

check him out man. this shit comes too natural for him. he isn't known for his raps more so just his music in general but he can throw down bars when he needs to bruh which definitely helped him here on Sway
You'd be surprised as to the amount of people that don't know why artists come on to shows and don't spit "off the top" and spit a pre written track. Let me tell you why. They have an opportunity to come on a show and promote themselves, and album, mix tape, etc. So why wouldn't you use this opportunity to spit something great, usually something pre written opposed to a freestyle. So when I see negative comments about freestyle vs pre written it kinda irks me. I personally don't care if an artist can freestyle or not, if i like what they spit i will most likely check them out. Also judging an artist over how well he/she can free style is quite dumb.
That's why artists have written bars prepared strictly for opportunities to "go off the top" or just rip some beats for promotional purpose. This dude straight up spit lyrics from his releases album!!! Gotta have lyrics in the bag for these purposes...
just wanna say I've been a fan since Translations Through Speakers and my dude deserves all of this right now bro! he just dropped one of the most unique, beautiful and groovy albums I've ever heard and I couldn't be happier for him. he KILLED this shit man it's gonna be amazing to see this video blow up as well as his music career!
For everyone saying it's a written, of course it is! Replay the video and you'll see the part right before the 5 fingers of death where Sway literally asks Jon to rap his "New York Soul Pt. 2" over the 5 fingers of death because he likes the song so much. Sway literally asked him to do it lol Yall gotta listen yall. Either way, I agree. I would have preferred to see what he could have done with a new written, or non-written freestyle. I wonder why Sway gave him an exception. I think he would have done fine with freestyling.
This is a verse from his album, fire. The Human Condition is definitely FIRE Album of the Year in my personal opinion. Better than or just as good as Views.
+Ronald Steyn I know what freestyling is. its that he rap verses from his new album and its wasnt nothing special. check yo self before you wreck yourself
FINALLY HE IS GETTING THE ATTENTION HE DESERVES!!!!! Been listening to him since 2012 when he joined The Visionary Music Group. A true artist right here.
Words can't express how happy it makes me to see him on Sway in the Morning! He's finally being heard. The fact that he ripped the 5 Fingers of Death is just a bonus. Motherfuckin' Jon Bellion ladies and gentlemen!
Fuckkk. Bellion on Sway??!! Jon you are moving up. If you have never listened to any of his songs. Do yourself a favor, he is a fantastic singer and producer. Additionally, hes an awesome dude. I had the honor to have him play his whole album in my living room the other day as he had a contest to stop in every state and visit his fans at their house. Hes a great dude with an even doper personality. Bellion is where it's at!
1. Southern hospitality by ludacris 2. Drop it like it's hot by snoop and pharrell 3. I cannot remember for the life of me 4. Shake your ass by mystikal 5. Frontin by pharrell
Lol him and Logic have been friends for a while now. They are both signed to VMG. They have 2 songs together, Logic- 24 freestyle and Jon Bellion 24 freestyle
I'm sure it has already been said, but for those who say "that sounded like a written verse" it is. It's all the lyrics from his song, "New York Soul part 2". Prior to him spitting the verses, sway asked of him to rap that specific song over 5 different beats. It wasn't a true freestyle, just a manipulation of his written verses over different tracks. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan, just clarifying before someone starts a comments fight for no reason.
Not to sound crazy but did any one else see the white mist behind him when he is speaking about the angels!?!?!? 2:50 look back at it. Like so people can see!
I just heard of this dude today while browsing the youtube, his freestyles in away took me back to the old school wake up show! when Juice, Em and wordsworth where on area. This dude got my respect 100% most def can out rap 80% of todays rappers.
He's promoting his album. He wasn't asked to do a freestyle off the top of his head. He's also more talented than half the people that come on this show, even if it isn't rapping.
its funny that he's not even a rapper, hes a soul and rnb artist. another reason why i love this guy
Oween thx for explaining that ive been looking for a way to tell my friends what jon bellion is and they always think he is a rapper👍🏾
JohanDoesVideos No worries bud, anything who wants to know about the legend :)
Oween He is a rapper though. He can just do everything.
Oween yep 101 like
he's a rapper in disguise.
This man came to destroy! That was great and his album is crazy
Eyyy wassup bruh!
Ayyyye I watch your videos lol
wassup busy!
Yo what up game! Haha dope
He didn't even freestyle!!!
She's 5"9 in a Rolls Royce, that's Slaughterhouse
Exbeeohex I know that was crazy
I thought the rhyme was sick but I don't get the reference or play on words if there is one. Explain?
Royce da 5'9 is a rapper from the group Slaughterhouse
Exbeeohex *concieted* (wild n out ) voice
Lit aF 🔥
Sway asked him to do the song from his album so don't complain he wasn't off the dome.
Paragon of Growth also, technically hes allowed to do writtens off of memory.
Vast majority spit writtens?
who else has been listening to Jon for years?
me
ReelableJupiter mememe I first heard carry your throne by my old friend on xbox
ReelableJupiter I'm late on finding him but I'm fucking glad I did
5 years ago
4 years ago
Criminally underrated musician
Wali Chigozirim Edmund he doesn't seem like the mainstream type
Bhobolate now everyone is on all time low
Agreed
"Told myself I'm keeping the faith, so if it costs me my reputation than fuck it I'll give it all away"
“I never wanted to be famous stop calling me underrated”
He actually wrote the hook for Eminem's song "The Monster". Nice to see him get some sun himself
that's how I found out about him
+Tasty wrote
+Elvis Martinez he's right. He co-wrote it because he is not the only one who came up with the hook. It was Jon Bellion and Bebe Rexha
Also trumpets - jason derulo
Ville Lindberg he made the whole song and sold it to derulo
anyone who hasn't listened to this guy should check out all his works. Jon is the truth. Greattttt artist
never heard of this dude but this caught my attention. Ill check hes shit out
+Muzi N his latest album and the Definition man. first few listens I was iffy. My older bro was playing him in his car. The next day I starting listening to him again and listened to nothing else for the next two months

Thought homie was a singer, nigga just went in.
me too bruh
Nah he has flows he's been on stage with Logic and was spitting bars
Jon has been a dope rapper though, he killed his verse on 24 Freestyle ft Logic, QuEST, and Castro.
Facts
QuEst took over tho
Real shit
That was too slept on tbh
Exactly there needs to be a Ratt Pack cypher every other dope crew has one
Love how he turned his lyrics into a rap on the spot that is actual passion and skill!
These were already rap verses.
@@Gearyco that’s what he said
on his way to makin Bellions. after 3 yrs good to see him gettin that shine.
HE IS SO UNDERRATED🔥🔥🔥
Thats so true
right💯
not underrated, undiscovered, and he wants to stay undiscovered.
his album was like 2nd most bought albul in us lol
NeXxtlevel I hope he stays this way
You can tell an artist is great when they only got 8 dislikes
yuuup

Looks like 78 this shit is fucking lame
fuckin crazy.. never heard of this cat before
check him out man. this shit comes too natural for him. he isn't known for his raps more so just his music in general but he can throw down bars when he needs to bruh which definitely helped him here on Sway

Also judging an artist over how well he/she can free style is quite dumb.
I agree im not buying an album full of freestyles, so im not assuming there songs are gonna be like a freestyle anyway
Right? And if you know you're not the best freestyler why would you risk trying it and fucking up?
That's why artists have written bars prepared strictly for opportunities to "go off the top" or just rip some beats for promotional purpose. This dude straight up spit lyrics from his releases album!!! Gotta have lyrics in the bag for these purposes...
exactly I agree 100%
Zo
HE AINT EVEN A RAPPER BRUH
ikr!!!
not only rappers man,
ne-yo did it too
dean zaibak oh shit need to check that out thanks bro
Just goes to show ones who don't always rap are better than the rappers on the radio.
+Loppyyy PREACH!!! Anyone can be better than radio rappers
I LOVE HIM & IF YOU AREN'T OBSESSED THEN YOU SHOULD BE
Agreed
2:27 spits the hardest bar I’ve ever heard, gave me the goosebumps wow.
Broooo way too fire and real
I completely agree!
The hardest hitting line we will ever hear imo
His rapping on the third beat reminded me of Eminem
He's written for Em (Monster) ;)
just the hook
+Pinklatex this guys never wrote one bar for em are u a meth addict????
chill
+AhmedFiasco ok my g what song he wrote ems hook for??
Visionary Group just kills it
just wanna say I've been a fan since Translations Through Speakers and my dude deserves all of this right now bro! he just dropped one of the most unique, beautiful and groovy albums I've ever heard and I couldn't be happier for him.
he KILLED this shit man it's gonna be amazing to see this video blow up as well as his music career!

This is a verse from his album, fire.
The Human Condition is definitely FIRE
Album of the Year in my personal opinion. Better than or just as good as Views.
Views is so shit
anything is better than views
savage
views = trash
views suck
Love how he's finally getting around, been following this dude for years!
Still coming back to this fire
I mean he was raw in 24 freestyle, "dont let this pop singer take you back to the basement" 🔥 Not just a singer
Jon is crazy talented! Blessed to have seen and met this man 🙌🏽
My first time hearing him. Instant fan
you should hear him singing
His singing is amazing search all time low acoustic
Listen to his older mixtapes they're fire
+Doctapeppur Yea I've heard him sing, nice voice. But I don't really like songs
#longlivesteelo
JON WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU DUDE!!!! LOVE YOU!!!
First time I've heard him rap, and now I'm a big fan. 🙏🏾
Kevin Palmer listen to logic 24 freestyle
Yo sway, the 5 fingers you have been uploading lately have been flames...keep the good music coming man.
Sway's face as he was rapping said it all
What does it say?
Roger Racoon Jon is the illest white rapper he’s ever heard
@@ProcyonMajoris lol hopefully 3 years later u learned some body language
Sway asked him to rap his song over those 5 beats.
kinda wish he actually freestyle instead spitting verses from his songs but it was great either 👏👏👏
+Daan H I hate when sway does that
freestyling isnt just off the top lol
+Ronald Steyn I know what freestyling is. its that he rap verses from his new album and its wasnt nothing special. check yo self before you wreck yourself
Cloud Clouds alright... Thats still freestyling. Its just that you made it seem like you didnt know. Cool if you do.
Cloud Clouds oh one more thing. Don't say that corny shit at the end ever again. That was lame af. This ain't the early 2000s
I love Sway’s recognition of how dope he really is.
"I've never been poor, very satisfied with middle-class"-bars. Heat tho...
New York Soul Pt. 2
Guys, this guy has ghostwritten more song than you can imagine. Look into it.
just listen to half of Justin
Biebers music and some of his
most popular songs in the past 3 years
3:06 john just starring into that mic like he just found the answer to life lol
Out rappin you wack ass rappers!!!! Respect Jon!
Yo those beats were right up his alley, i've noticed that Wonder throws good beats when he feels an artist
Jon Bellion is the embodiment of wholesome, highly talented, highly technical, no-BS musicianship.
I watch this whenever I'm happy, sad, glad, etc. Jon, his talent, and his growing popularity just makes me happy
He should rap more often
True
You should be thankful he thinks rap is a f*****g hobby.
+Vikash Movva "10 steps ahead of you musically, how you plan to stop me.Just count your blessings that I consider rap a fucking hobby!"
+CodyMTB 😐not even, it's Superman
That line...maaaaaan
I support this dude hard body.. cant get no work done in my own studio from watching all this dude videos.. SEE u at the top J.b
Y'all gotta listen to his older stuff (: , especially Shadows , Smooth Movin and Pre-Occupied
Separation
the good old days
Randy Dead Man Walking, LIFE, and the wonder years were amazing
Mtgminute YES!!
@ 2:48 right after Jon says "Angel" watch what appears behind him... I have not seen any comment on this but check it out.
Bro this dude aint even a rapper and he killed it....
FINALLY HE IS GETTING THE ATTENTION HE DESERVES!!!!! Been listening to him since 2012 when he joined The Visionary Music Group. A true artist right here.
People are going to be disappointed when they search him up and he's not a rapper.
Glad to see him on Sway now. Don't SLEEP on this guy, straight talent.
VMG ,yes nigga VMG
Only competition that we see is TDE!!
feeling this villainous vibe
Sad sylvan left :(
+Titan Yeaa I know..I like his last project 'Far From Familiar' though 🔥🔥
He literally gave them part 2 of some New York Soul....LITERALLY!
Singing + Rapping=Best of both worlds😁
"but im not a rapper"
Wow. The lyrics are extremely powerful.
Let's Begin, 3 years in advance
Words can't express how happy it makes me to see him on Sway in the Morning! He's finally being heard. The fact that he ripped the 5 Fingers of Death is just a bonus. Motherfuckin' Jon Bellion ladies and gentlemen!
7 Years later and this 5 fingers of death still slaps harder than a pimp
2:50 When he says "I had a conversation with and angel" There is like a white misty thing moving behind Jon wtf XD :O
Definitely a human behind tinted glass, but it got me too!
Yoo he is blessed
my man can sing and rap. dude's so talented
Fuckkk. Bellion on Sway??!! Jon you are moving up. If you have never listened to any of his songs. Do yourself a favor, he is a fantastic singer and producer. Additionally, hes an awesome dude. I had the honor to have him play his whole album in my living room the other day as he had a contest to stop in every state and visit his fans at their house. Hes a great dude with an even doper personality. Bellion is where it's at!
this needs more views
Señor Bellion went in! A tracklist with all beats used would be sick.
1. Southern hospitality by ludacris
2. Drop it like it's hot by snoop and pharrell
3. I cannot remember for the life of me
4. Shake your ass by mystikal
5. Frontin by pharrell
@@figarden1 i literally need the third one xddd
This was probably the most lyrically instrumented five fingers I’ve seen, oh my god.

Lol him and Logic have been friends for a while now. They are both signed to VMG. They have 2 songs together, Logic- 24 freestyle and Jon Bellion 24 freestyle
When the producer is asked to step on the beat, he pulls up and raises the bar.
Those lyrics were from New York Soul

The greatest artist of this generation
Top ten non rapper of this generation
He basically summarized the album . Woah impressive

He's really good just wish this was a freestyle not just a song over different beats but still sick
Honestly one of the hardest damn sway FREEs dont @ me
Not to sound crazy but did any one else see the white mist behind him when he is speaking about the angels!?!?!? 2:50 look back at it. Like so people can see!
pedro perez OMFG I did see it
Holy cow.....
probably was just vape
This has been the only freestyle worth watching or sharing for a minute! Fire, that slaughterhouse line too...
Thats was crazy Stephen A. Smith Voice "This Man is on a whole another level"
He just rapped one of his songs
+Jackson Davis does it say freestyle in the title? No nigga
This is literally my favorite video ever.
Money isnt the key to wealth ... 🔥
I just heard of this dude today while browsing the youtube, his freestyles in away took me back to the old school wake up show! when Juice, Em and wordsworth where on area. This dude got my respect 100% most def can out rap 80% of todays rappers.
check out his full interview from this day that lead to this freestyle. dope shit
hes just rapping New York Soul Pt. II lol
Freestyle is no rules and sway said it was
And sway asked him to do NewYork Soul Pt. ii in the interview.
Because sway asked him to in the interview
Yah Boy Kiba totally missed that, my bad
Barz.... Concert series Sway. Salute.
psa: sway asked him to spit the verses from New York Soul Pt 2 in the interview he didnt spit them bc he doesnt have other verses
He's promoting his album. He wasn't asked to do a freestyle off the top of his head. He's also more talented than half the people that come on this show, even if it isn't rapping.
This needs double the views, legend
Those bars though, damnnnnn. Wish he rapped more.
I've been waiting for this so long
Anyone else seeing him today in Cleveland??
Yes. I am hyped dude.
Gratation It's gonna be SO sick
+eddievangraham where you in the Venue when it was put in lockdown? Haha
+juts4 No I wasn't. They wouldn't let us go into the area until it was clear.
juts4 They put it in lockdown? Was it cuz of the shootings from earlier?
He's straight🔥. Jon Bellion is low-key underrated
