The Blockley is hosting Hustle Jawn tonight with Freeway alongside up and coming Philly emcee Ms. Jade. Freeway has been rockin the mic with his signature high-pitched delivery since his days alongside Jay-Z and Beanie Sigel on Roc-A-Fella Records back in the early ‘00s. More recently, Freeway signed to independent hip hop label Rhymesayers Entertainment and released the critically acclaimed The Stimulus Package with Jake One. Earlier this year, Freeway also recorded an EP in only 24 hours with Statik Selektah called The Statik–Free EP. The follow-up to The Stimulus Package is scheduled to be released on November 30, titled Diamond In the Ruff. The next album will feature production from longtime Freeway collaborators, Just Blaze and Jake One, as well as some verses from fellow Philly emcee Black Thought. So be sure to head out to The Blockley tonight for an early preview of Diamond In the Ruff along with the master spitter’s classics from the past.
