Freeway’s new direction scares me. He’s probably just messing with our heads. I’m pretty sure he’s secretly recording an album with Brother Ali and Scarface.

The beardest rapper alive Freeway will drop the sequel to 2003’s Philadelphia Freeway on May 5, 2009.

Freeway – “When I Die” (Feat. James Blunt)

It’s the last week of Month of Madness, so Freeway decided to get a little personal with us. Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, kick back, relax, and enjoy Free’s candid narrative about the ROC.

Freeway has plenty of music to get off his chest. So much so that he’s decided to embark on something called A Month of Madness throughout the month of December.

Inasmuch as I dig his music, I don’t intend to throw up a Freeway post on The Rap Up everyday, because that’s just way too much beard for one site. (It would be nice if someone could compile all those joints in one convenient folder after this madness is over.)

At any rate, you can either hit up one of the 2 million hip-hop blogs on my blogroll or head over to Freeway’s site for the freebie.

Oh, and in case you forgot how ill Freeway is, here’s a nifty little reminder.

At least now we know that the album is really dropping on November 20. Beans arrives after that, on 12/11. Next year’s R.O.C. tour should be interesting.
