Rapper, Free At Last

Roc-A-Fella Records once stood alone as the most powerful label in
hip-hop. But after the three owners of the label, Jay-Z, Dame Dash and
Kareem Biggs, severed business ties in 2004, Roc-A-Fella began to lose
its appeal and many of the artists were left to find a new record
label.


Freeway, who was brought to the label by fellow
Philadelphian Beanie Sigel, decided to remain with Roc-A-Fella, which
is now owned entirely by Jay-Z. With his sophomore album scheduled to
be released in October, Freeway hopes to revive the Roc-A-Fella
dynasty.


“The whole Roc-A-Fella break up caused everybody who
was involved to just sit back and try to get things together,” Freeway
says. “During my time away, I was getting focused and continued to
grind by recording and doing shows.” For his new album, Free At Last,
Freeway will have two of hip-hop’s biggest names in his corner.

“I sat down with Jay [-Z] and 50 [Cent] to see what could be done for
this new project,” he says. “It made business sense for both of them to
executive produce my album, so we got together and it happened.”

At Last has already become one of the most anticipated albums of 2007,
with the Jay-Z featured first single, “Big Spender.” But, while Freeway
is excited about the release of his upcoming album, he’s also focusing
on a reunion with State Property. “I’m looking forward to bringing back
State Property,” he says. “The fans want it and we’ll give it to them
soon.” – amir shaw
