Album was so slept on. I think they dropped the ball with it. I recall him having a crazy buzz coming off the hot 97 freestyle and 1900hustler verse but they took super long to put his album out. 1 of the best albums to drop on Rocafella (no names excluded!)

The problem is chics didn't want to fukk Freeway and the dudes didn't want to be him. In order to blow up you have to have one of those going for you. Great fukking album tho.

Best produce album just blaze contributed on. He delivered 85% of the album roughly. I'll take this over GRODT. Aged beautifully. Only album fukking with this in 03 was TBA.

Soulfulness of Alright makes u you determined through shyt :mjcry:

Hear The song :mjcry:

"How my teacher going to tell me I'm dumb,
Had me feeling like a sore thumb, clown of the class":wow:




Freeway has a great unique rap style that I could appreciate. Strong delivery and cadence with a complicated rhyme style. Discography is criminally underrated.
