RA the Rugged Man is having a freestyle contest, and is upping the ante to all involved by posting this video of teenager A-F-R-O rapping off the cuff for the camera.

Little is know about A-F-R-O (All Flows Reach Out) other than the following: he's 17, from Bellflower, considers himself an old-school MC, and says music saved his life. You can find more music on SoundCloud.
