Freestyle is a style of rap, with or without instrumental beats, in which rap lyrics are improvised, i.e. performed with no previously composed lyrics, and "off the top of the head". It is similar to other improvisational music such as jazz (Myka 9 of Freestyle Fellowship describes it as being "like a jazz solo") where there is a lead instrumentalist acting as the improviser and the rest of the band providing the beat. Rap battles are improvised in this way.
In the book How to Rap, J-lyric and Myka 9 note that originally a freestyle was a spit on no particular subject – J-lyric said, “in the 2000’s ‘ when we said freestyle rap, that meant that it was a rhyme that you kick that was free of style... it’s basically a rhyme just bragging about yourself.” Myka 9 adds, “back in the day freestyle was bust[ing] a rhyme about any random thing, and it was not a written rhyme or something memorized”.Divine Styler says: “in the school I come from, freestyling was a non-conceptual written rhyme... and now they call freestyling off the top of the head, so the era I come from it’s a lot different”.Kool Moe Dee also refers to this earlier definition in his book, There's A God On The Mic:

Plot: Jonathan "J.J." Jones (Samuel Victor) is a music producer at the top of his game. Women throw themselves at him, but J.J. has given up on love, tired of the clichés that he writes for multi-platinum songs. With his madcap manager (Baz Salam) living a hilarious playboy lifestyle on his friend's success, and rival record label boss (Patrick Moorhouse) hiring wannabe gangsters (Johnny Lynch, Mark Margason) to topple his musical empire, J.J. can no longer cope, and escapes to the only place he can be alone, a deserted beach e remembers from childhood. There he meets Kayleigh (Jennie Shotton) - a young lady from a broken home, who helps him write a new love song, learning what's really important in life, friends, family, and true love.
