Freeway, the former Roc-A-Fella rapper, re-emerged onstage in Philadelphia this year when he was pushed to the side at a press conference announcing Jay-Z’s Made in America festival, inadvertently creating a photo op of his own. Recently he sat down to talk with us about his new album, taking a hiatus a couple years back, his daily prayer routine and raising kids in Philly. Watch the interview above and check out “True,” a new song featuring Wale from Diamond in the Ruff, the LP that’s out today and named for shining through a long and dirty career below.
