I have never heard this song before.

I think it's too early (1982) to be labeled "freestyle". Freestyle to me is what was called Latin hip-hop back in the day--like The Cover Girls and TKA.

You had to have been a teen in the 80s to get it. I don't see how any seasoned music veteran could really get into freestyle (and I mean real freestyle, not the song posted on this thread) hearing it for the first time after the age of 30.

This site does a good job of summarizing the brief history of freestyle:

Yeah, Lisa Lisa's early stuff (Can You Feel The Beat?, I Wonder If I Take You Home) would definitely be considered freestyle. This Nancy Martin track is good, but it's not freestyle. Groups like Company B, Stevie B., Expose, George Lamond, TKA, Linear pretty much defined freestyle. Takes me back to jr. high and high school.

Was freestyle the music of San Jose? Because practically all the artists in the genre were from either New York or Miami.
