A 17-year-old recording of a freestyle battle between Eminem and a local rapper named A.L. has been released online.
The two-part recording features a 25-year-old Marshall Mathers in his early rapping career displaying an already impressive talent for freestyle. The battle took place when Eminem visited New York’s Baruch College’s Solo Vibes radio show for an on-air freestyle session on Dec. 9, 1997.
