Continuing his life after Roc-A-Fella Records, former freestyle star Freeway now makes his debut on Rhymesayers, a fitting new home — if only temporary before a move to Cash Money.  Fellow Rhymesayers standout Jake One provides a funky, malleable backdrop for Freeway‘s fiery delivery and lyrics that are alternately personal and light in content. And though Freeway deserves his accolades, Jake One’s production is the MVP of this collaboration.
