Freeway

Making his return to the charts after a 4 year hiatus, Philadelphia's Freeway is finally on his way with his sophomore LP, "Free At Last."

Freeway's debut LP, "Philadelphia Freeway," was heavily produced by Roc-A-Fella affiliate, Just Blaze. Since then however, the two have had a falling out due to miscommunication. Freeway even went as far as mentioning the producer on a track released in October, 2007.

"Things just ain't the same for gangstas/But I don't give a fuck, I'm back without a Just track/Tried to reach out and work but he ain't chirp back/But I don't care, I'm here nigga, the beard bigger/Flow strong, the clip long, I air niggas/Lay ‘em down flat, stay around straps." Rapped Freeway on "It's Over."

The verse prompted Just Blaze to respond over one of his many blogs.

"This isn't good... not in terms of me, I don't care personally... I mean some of these things rappers have said about me when they think I'm not around or don't know who I know are pretty crazy/Funny, so I don't really mind when someone addresses me directly but.. see, here's the thing... at some point, someone in the press is going to ask me about this new song... and I'm going to have to tell them what the line(s) are about 100% honestly and truthfully... and someone is going to end up looking a little foolish. You know... "not the sharpest knife" type. Just fired back.

"If you are reading this... are you sure you want to go here? with

ME?!.. My word game is too strong, and your thought process obviously isn't." He continued.

According to Freeway, the two have settled their differences. In a recent interview with Rhapsody, Free explained the situation.

"Just Blaze did a lot of songs on the first album, but he's so good that he could make it sound like 10 different producers. He was responsible for the "What We Do," "Rock the Mic" and "Burnin' Up" -- basically my career. I would go there and he'd have joints ready. " He retorted.

"There was a little bit of hostility between managers." Said Freeway.

"I think my manager was a little disrespectful to his manager around the beginning of last year. I don't really know the particulars, but I know it had to do with some publishing. He apologized, but after that, I tried to get at Just a couple times. I'm not saying he wouldn't, but he wasn't in a rush or it wasn't a priority to him. Just is my man. We lived together for a month in Miami. I felt as though we had a good relationship. I spoke to him earlier this year [about it]. We're supposed to be past it, but still nothing's happened. " He continued.

When asked about the verse on the track, Free said he was basically "keeping it real."

"I was just keeping it real. I'm not like, "Fuck Just." It's all good. I just want to see him and talk to him [about it]. "

"Free At Last", which is appropriately titled seeing as it was originally slated for an early 2005 release, hit store shelves on Tuesday, November 20, 2007 and features cameos from Jay Z, 5o Cent, Scarface, & Busta Rhymes to name a few.
