When did freeway part ways with rocafella? Just wondering
Look at that cover man, doesn’t it make you think of one of the most famous covers ever? It’s a fucking Illmatic ripoff!
A ripoff or homage?
I remember hearing Freeway for the first time on Jay-Z’z Roc La Familia…1 800 Hustler. Great lyricist, and distinctive voice. Hope to hear him collab with M.O.P. on this album. His other albums were dope, and I expect nothing less with this one.
Get a hair piece Freeway.
LOL every album cover looks the same now
I’m not the biggest fan of Freeway’s flow, but I love this dude’s hustle. And when you listen to the lyrics, he has bars. He’s made no excuses and just continued to do his thing. I’m coping the new album.
Is Jake One on the production?
stimulus was that shit
he will be lucky to move 5-7.000 units first week
Not a bad push back still going to be dope to hear Philly Freeze
So let me get this straight. Bleek can’t get an album out anymore, but Freeway can? What a cold world we live in.
Bleek is trash….that’s why
State Property
In the meantime, check out Freeway’s “Freedom of Speech” mix tape
Wasn’t really a fan of that mixtape. I thought “Breakin Free” was alot better.
