More info on the album below…
NEW YORK, NY - October 24, 2007 - North Philly’s native son Freeway has seen a lot since the 2003 release of his certified Gold Roc-A-Fella debut Philadelphia Freeway. Greeted with equally heavy doses of critical acclaim and hood love, Free found himself touring the world and sharing the spoils with the hottest crew in hip-hop, a meteoric rise that would prove to be not without struggle, sacrifice and consequence. Indeed, a lot has changed since then, and through it all, Freeway has remained, quite literally, on his grind.
That grind, as much a part of Freeway’s legendarily gruff delivery as his gritty lyricism, pours through every groove on Free’s long-awaited sophomore set Free At Last. Set for a November 20th release on Roc-A-Fella Records, Free at Last chronicles Freeway’s struggles to navigate an increasingly hostile and competitive musical environment, while remaining true to the streets, his friends and family, and most importantly himself.
“The past four years, a lot’s been goin’ on with me, personally,” explains Free. “I’m a Muslim, and I had the opportunity to go to Mecca, and that really brightened my horizons; the break-up at the Roc, that had me stagnant for a while to be honest; meanwhile, the music is changing, that’s how music is, constantly changing. As far as for me, I didn’t change anything in terms of my style, I do what I do. I’m a reality rapper, always have been, so I got a lot to say about what’s goin’ on. I let it all out on record. That’s why my fans love me.”
Co-executive produced by hip-hop’s two greatest giants - long-time friend and mentor JAY-Z and newfound ally 50 Cent - and featuring a virtual who’s who of raps brightest stars including guest spots from Scarface, Rick Ross, Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss, 2 Short, Paul Wall and production from JR Rotem, Cool & Dre, Don Cannon, Bink, Dame Grease & more, Free At Last is a tour-de force, deftly recapturing that signature Roc-A-Fella sound while infusing it with a hunger and electricity that’s been missing since, well, Freeway’s last album.
“The industry’s goin’ through changes, and it’s about a lot of bullshit right now,” says Freeway of the new project. “Since I first came out, I’ve been watching very closely. Radio, video don’t support anymore. So I’ve been floodin’ the internet w freestyles, hittin’ the streets. The blogs and the networking sites are the new streets, obviously. That’s where the fans are. They want to hear your music, and you gotta give it to them. They’ll let you know real quick what they think!”
To that end, Free At Last is Freeway’s emancipation proclamation. Instead of pursuing a traditional single strategy, Free is following the heat generated from this summer’s street banger, “Rocafella Billionaires” featuring JAY-Z - and the new heat rock burning up the blogs “Step Back” featuring Lil’ Wayne - by releasing three new tracks simultaneously: “It’s Over,” “Still Got Love,” and “Lights Get Low” featuring Rick Ross. The tracks have been serviced to top DJ’s around the country as exclusives, and are available to stream at rocafella.com.

I am looking forward to this album the features look good though I hope he don’t go over the top with the feature.
Freeway’s last album was dope so he has alot to live up to but hearing alot of the songs already I think it will be a dope album.

Philadelphia Freeway was slept on heavy,
that album was drugs.
Heard a few cuts off the new album so I’m definitely checking for the whole joint when it drops.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:54 pm
no single? no video?
October 25th, 2007 at 1:12 pm
Looks like he’s been busy recruiting for his album..
But, no matter what he does, he’s always going to:
1) be the UGLIEST NUKKA ON THE BLOCK.
2) have the MOST ANNOYING VOICE on the block.
3) have absolutely no charisma.
4) have to pay for sex
5) have that UGLY NAPPY BEARD.
Out.

^^^ Yeah he also revealed there will be a Dynasty 2 album and a full tour next summer. I’ve seen a solo artist make a come back but for a whole record label to get there act together like The ROC team and make a come back will to much to take in it will be exciting cus even though I was a fan I thought The ROC was over.

# 20 because of 50? what happen to young buck shit and yayo and banks all trash
October 25th, 2007 at 6:27 pm
So what does that mean that 50 and jay are producing his album, last I checked both those guys aren’t known for their producing. Basically all we know is Free will be having a song featuring 50 and another featuring Jay, thats it.
October 25th, 2007 at 6:29 pm
And what happens if the album flops, will BOTH Jay-Z and 50 cent take the blame????
October 25th, 2007 at 7:38 pm
Niggas been hatin on Freeway since 1-900-HUSTLER…matter fact, niggas been hatin on the ROC since before Reasonable Doubt. When will you lame fucks get it through your skulls that the ROC ain’t goin no where…Live With It, Fuckin’ Losers. Stop Hatin and Get Ya Paper Up.

@ 24…They are Executive producers which usually means they provided the entire budget for the whole project. If you read your album covers closer you would realize this. Suge Knight doesn’t make tracks but was executive producer for everyone on Deathrow @ the time and same with Clive Davis and Tommy Motola(very scary man) and so on and so forth…..
October 27th, 2007 at 10:28 pm
