abstract:Freescan is a method by which an MC uses words around him/her in order to construct a freestyle verse; an example being credits at the close of a movie or television program, a food menu, newspaper or magazine. While this technique has been used without being credited to any one artist or group, it is widely acknowledged that Quantum Deluxe (currently no information available on Wikipedia regarding this band), a now defunct hip-hop outfit from Bristol, UK devised and used the technique as part of their stage act, often asking members of the audience for material to work with.
