There is more than one artist with the name Freeway: The first is: 1. Freeway launches the Month of Madness beginning December 1, 2008. For 30 days straight- Freeway will drop one record a day, for the people- for change. Lately, it seems as if Hip-Hop has turned into something more than fan driven entertainment. It has become dependent on sales, marketing and imaging- rather than the quality and value of the music itself. Some may even say that, Freeway himself- may have fallen through that corporate loophole. Still, he launches the Month of Madness with optimism that Hip-Hop will return to its rightful owners- the people- and that's why it's time for a change. The Freeway Change. In fact, http://thefreewaychange.com/ will offer a new song for free download, every day. Freeway a.k.a. Philly Freeway began rapping while in high school. He later met fellow rapper Beanie Sigel, who would be signed to Roc-A-Fella and later help Freeway get a contract with the record label. Freeway became one of the label's most visible artists after making his first appearance on The Dynasty: Roc La Familia and appearing on several other Roc releases before putting out his solo album, Philadelphia Freeway. The album was produced primarily by Roc-A-Fella-affiliated artists--Just Blaze, Bink!, Kanye West--and featured mostly Roc-A-Fella rappers as well, many of them from State Property: a Philadelphia-based bunch of Roc members that Freeway and Beanie Sigel had compiled into a group. The album's biggest hit was What We Do, produced by Just Blaze and featuring Jay-Z & Beanie Sigel. After relations between Beanie Sigel and State Property soured, whether he and Freeway are still friends is unclear. Though Beanie had said he didn't know if he'd work with State Property again, he was present at Jay-Z's I Declare War concert alongside Freeway. Beanie has been listed as a possible appearance on Freeway's next album, Free At Last
