- In this full-length interview, Freeway discusses the energy surrounding his city as they prepare for the Super Bowl and how Lil Uzi Vert’s “Just Wanna Rock” is currently situated as Philly’s anthem. The conversation shifted gears as Freeway talked about growing up in Philly during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Don’t forget that this man also lost a son and a daughter … he has been through so much
True legend. I remember buying the Philadelphia Freeway album in middle school. That album is still relevant!
5 mics status
Absolute classic 💪
Love Freeway as an artist. Underrated
He looks younger now than he did in 03
hahah ikr
Weight loss does that
Bless this brother im glad hes still with us 🙌😇
Really enjoyed this interview. Freeway is a humble individual.
Xtremely 💯
one thing about FREE he's been busy SINCE he got on! He can ALWAYS book shows with EASE.May Allaahu ta Aa'laa preserve Basil Allaahumma Aameen
Maaaaaan What a Time to be alive!!!!! So glad to see my guy Free still standing and looking good.
I absolutely love this man! He has to be one of the strongest people on this planet. Losing his children and still having so match faith is beyond commendable. I love how he handled the question about religion and music! He dodged all the messiness Vlad tries to spew and still gave a great interview! 💜
Did he speak on his children passing I didn't catch that part. He probably told them don't speak on it
@@JoeGrits Briefly but that wasn’t his energy. He has been very vocal any time someone has asked. On Math Hoffa’s podcast they were afraid to ask about it and he told them it was ok to.
Yes touchy subject plus it's new not like it's been a decade or more
Such a humble brother
ALRIGHT HERE WE GO, THE WHOLE INTERVIEW IS HERE, WELCOME BACK!!! It is, what it is, Freeway, always a pleasure, until next time PEACE!!!
“Even though what we do is wrong”
“Freezer Ride all day like public transportation”
Hands Down a straight up MC !
Freeway one of the last oG’s we need a podcast from free
RIP to his son and daughter and RIP to The Jacka a Bay Area legend 🕊
This was a great interview.
Bless Up to your Strength and Elevation Free,Much Respect Brotha‼️
Im a Delaware/Philly Grinder as well‼️
Thank you for the snippet of further enlightenment of your life ‼️💪🏾🫶🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾🫡🫡
Dope interview‼️
He's been through a lot. God Bless him!
That part. The very last thing Freeway said, "That's seven people that could've been in the streets robbing and stealing." That's why when I see someone selling their CDs (yes, still in 2022/2023) or a kid selling candy at Walmart, I throw them a few dollars and I tell them, I'm probably not gonna listen to your music cause I don't have a CD player but I appreciate that you're not out here robbing and stealing so I support you.
Living legend man. Salute.
Great guy! Always got a positive word to say about everyone. Good to see him well.

Much love to Freeway for messing withe the JACKA
Not that he said Dances. That place was everything Shout Out to Mr Bobby Dance. Freeway also didn’t mention one of his first songs before Rocafella Early in the Game. But it’s okay.

Early
I remember when Jaz did that diss track "Ova" where he dissed the whole Roc-a-fella team and he dissed Freeway because his real name is Leslie.
Am I the only one completely shocked by Freeways normal speaking voice?! Wtf 😂😂
Hahahah, mannnnnnnnnn. I had to check 4 times to make sure it was him.

Is Cannon remix freeway hardest verse ?
To bad UA-cam wasn't around in his prime
Those glasses are seriously dope.
Business is business but Vlad 50Cent is an actor/entertainer he not a killer.This brotha is modest and humble,BUT,keeps the company of some very serious individuals.Whom arent going to allow anyone/parties invade this man's space.
this dude must got supreme god genetics bc he's not far from 50 and looks 25.
54:53. RIP The Jacka
Sounds like Kanye. Smart man
I said that too! Remind me of Kanye when he talks! Very intelligent too!
Vlad be on ALL NUT SHIT😅
For those people saying music is haram and judging brother free then yall should know only Allah can judge. If this brothers only vice is music and only means of feeding his family then good on him. I was born Muslim and one thing I know is that brothers like free who embrace Islam are a million times better Muslims that I could ever be.
