Freeway + Jake One = The Stimulus Package

by Kevin February 28, 2009 News

Freeway announces his new album, totally produced by Jake One, for a summer release. This should be pretty hot… one emcee, one producer. Free has always been my fav when spittin’ over a Jake One beat. If Freeway brings it like he brought his Month of Madness, this album should be tight!
