4:40
your craft brother I appreciate that
4:41
free it's sincere is all genuine I
4:44
decided not to be fake a long time ago
4:47
so and I wanted people to I didn't feel
4:51
that we were getting our proper
4:52
acknowledgement as artists who came
4:55
through hip-hop that hip-hop lens and no
4:57
one was going to be able to identify a
4:59
properly anytime you see us on the TV
5:01
screen they they always kind of
5:04
miscalculate who you are they'll call
5:06
you something you're not or they make it
5:07
small oh they small they'll minimize who
5:10
it is they minimize it freeway rapper
5:12
from Philly rapper rapper yeah they had
5:15
they had to get that together like you
5:16
know they don't they don't call me that
5:18
no more you they put a lot of other
5:20
things to behind that they have to
5:22
though right but yeah but they got yeah
5:24
most definitely I earned it we in the yo
5:26
listen this is the we're in the PA's
5:28
Mecca over here
5:30
be a lot of PA yo freeway we've been
5:33
we've been I come from the gang that
5:35
originated pause pause so still got to
5:38
say it I'm on point yeah especially now
5:40
2024 most definitely I feel like Cam and
5:43
mace reinvigorated it right yeah for
5:45
sure shout out to cam and Ma they doing
5:46
they thing right now I love this
5:48
platform man it got to be great having
5:51
being a part of the same team to see how
5:53
people you know kind of Branch off and
5:55
not just be stay the same thing exactly
5:58
I mean that's what it's about like life
6:00
and per period is about elevation and
6:01
growth if you stagnant you stand in the
6:04
same place you was a couple years ago
6:06
then you're not making no growth yeah
6:07
you could get caught up in the loop in
6:09
the music business and entertainment too
6:11
because almost like living in an nft
6:13
World a virtual reality right and if you
6:16
don't watch out you get stuck in the
6:18
time warp and then when it's time to
6:20
come out you ain't got nothing else to
6:21
do so you fall off was there a point I
6:24
knew like in the '90s that King Tech and
6:28
I start off as a a rapper and DJ but I
6:31
knew at that point that we can't be just
6:34
this so we got into radio then I knew we
6:37
can't just be that so we got into to
6:38
touring and merch and all this stuff and
6:41
I knew we couldn't just be that so we
6:43
went to MTV and I knew we couldn't just
6:46
be that so now we do sway in the morning
6:48

11:42
when I ask this question because I don't
11:43
really put a lot of context behind it I
11:45
just be curious
11:47
to what prices did you pay to be famous
11:50
cuz we've all paid them we've all paid
11:53
them most definitely whether we realize
11:55
it or not we done pay some prices to be
11:58
where we are right right now 100% even
12:00
if it's just your normal sanity like you
12:02
know just being a celebrity and being an
12:05
artist you know you get pulled from so
12:07
many different directions so many
12:08
different
12:09
angles it's it's crazy like you know uh
12:14
I remember I got my transplant and I got
12:17

13:21
I'm paraphrasing your your style I I
13:23
don't try to imitate thank God
13:27
yeah St
13:30
oh come on hea you but you butcher a lot
13:32

13:35
you
13:36
know
13:37
buter shout out to Benny shout out to
13:40
him for sure absolutely but in it um you
13:43
talk about uh there's a story on there
13:46
where you talk about somebody that
13:48
turned on you right even made a disc
13:51
record but even when you went on tour
13:53
you took care that person yeah most
13:56
definitely what was the story I mean I'm
13:58
not going to get too deep into it but it
14:01
it's definitely somebody that I I love
14:03
and we supposed to have love for each
14:05
other and throughout the years you know
14:10
we had little issues with each other but
14:11
I will always you know forgive them and
14:13
you
14:14
know and something happened like two
14:17
years ago that it just was the last
14:20
straw like it was like right after my
14:22
son died and like it was so much other
14:24
stuff going on and
14:26
then the the situation that happened was
14:28
just like it like I'm like this person
14:31
really can't care about me like you know
14:33
what I'm saying they know I'm going
14:34
through the worst thing that ever
14:35
happened in my life and for them still
14:36
to be out here running around talking
14:39
crazy like they can't care you know
14:43
so I had to I had it took me a minute to
14:46
get to this point but I had to do it you
14:48
know yeah but you took them you took
14:50
care of them anyway I mean we we come
14:53
from a situation where we took care of
14:54
each other even before the music like
14:56
you know what I mean we was in the
14:57
streets and you know once I obtain some
15:02
success they rap too so I tried to get
15:05
them to do the same thing like you know
15:06
I got I I jeopardized my deal with
15:09
Rockefeller to make sure they had a
15:11
situation at one point you know
15:14
so it's just a situation where I was
15:17
just fed up with it but but what I loved
15:20
about it and the type of artist I am I
15:22
put my you know everything be my
15:24
feelings and like what I really go
15:26
through so you know that's what when
15:28
when the situation happen that happened
15:29
right after that like I went in the stew
15:31
and just let it out when I when I heard
15:33
that one the first thing I did was call
15:35
him was like damn somebody pissed you
15:37
off did you ask them who I did but I
15:40
wouldn't know I'm not there but like I
15:42
don't want to know who at this it was
15:44
also just like they got him to that
15:47
place I wanted him to go to like the
15:49
intensity not not that the you know the
15:52
real life is good or whatever but it
15:54
brought him it brought out that with the
15:57
rapping even what you're saying on there
15:58
is just so real you don't hear a disc
16:00
song about somebody where they say they
16:02
love their mother and their father
16:03
dearly my best music be when it's real
16:05
when it's 100% From The Heart by writing
16:09
that though did that help you I don't
16:11
write by the way sway okay my bad my bad
16:14
I'm sorry so Blasphemous I saw how you
16:16
cringe when I said the word right too
16:18
how dare
16:20
you my bad free I know this I know this
16:23
to be true but by um releasing that
16:27
verbally that's a form of therapy right
16:30
yeah most definitely and what I like at
16:32
a time where I really need needed
16:34
therapy you know uh after my daughter
16:37
died I actually got therapy and it
16:39
really helped me a lot you know like
16:41
people like dealing with people don't
16:43
know sometimes I wake up in the middle
16:44
of the night in tears like it could be
16:47
anything it could be a smell it could be
16:50
a song it could be a memory like I
16:53
remember one day I walked in the uh
16:55
produce store and my daughter she used
16:57
to pick the Watermelons and I seen a

17:34
like lucky I had people with me that
17:37
really cared about me amen like they
17:39
grabbed me and hug
17:41
me and they like what's wrong like they
17:43
don't know what's going on but you know
17:46
like it's it's it's difficult to deal
17:48
with these things yeah you know and I
17:50
try my best to stay
17:52
strong
17:53
and therapy is very very helpful very
17:56
important it really helped me get
17:58
through through a lot
17:59
like we they gave me like different
18:01
little things to do and like you know
18:04
different little practices that help me
18:06
get through those situations when I'm in
18:08
when I'm in those situations so
18:09
alhamdulillah absolutely put God first
18:12
first and foremost my relationship with
18:14
God if I didn't have that I wouldn't be
18:16
here to this day cuz when those things
18:18
happened to me from kidney failure all
18:20
the way to losing my kids and my dad I
18:22
leaned on God I had that relationship
18:24
already intact so it was easy for me to
18:27
do that man thank you for sharing that
18:29
freeway um because what you're doing by
18:33
sharing it is there's other folks who
18:36
have similar experiences who have lost
18:38
kids or loved ones and to see your
18:40
bravery and courage and and dealing with
18:42
it upfront most definitely is that's a
18:45
blessing that's a Divine that's that
18:48
that you're walking Godly even in this
18:50
song price of Fame although this person
18:53
may have done you wrong
18:55
consistently you haven't done them wrong
18:58
and you found found it in your heart to
19:00
forgive and that example I think is
19:03
necessary for us in our community
19:05
specifically most definitely to learn
19:07
how to deal with conflict resolution and
19:10
where everything doesn't have to end so
19:12
permanently most definitely by way of a
19:14
gun right if if we want to be forgiven
19:17
by God how if we how we expect to be
19:19
forgiven by God that we can't forgive
19:21
people like you know uh you know a
19:24
Muslim and uh as Muslims we not even
19:28
supposed to go to sleep with nothing on
19:30
your heart for nobody like the prophet
19:32
peace be upon him one of the things that
19:34
he did before he went to bed was he made
19:37
sure that he cleared his head with any
19:39
hatred or negativity towards anybody
19:41
before he even went to sleep every night
19:44
you know what I'm saying so he's he's
19:46
the best of mankind and we try to you
19:48
know model Our Lives after him so I try

SE we seen Diamond D last night yeah he
20:56
played a record with him and krs1 that
20:58
is is bananas the Kings it's called the
21:01
Kings M but he talked about equipment
21:04
you know evolving as a producer and what
21:07
he's done equipment wise and software
21:09
wise how have you evolved I think for me
21:12
um I mean the big thing I did was I
21:14
stopped sampling as much um there was a
21:17
period where I started making uh music
21:20
for other producers of samples so I had
21:22
this run that I did like a bunch of
21:24
songs of future and Kodak Black and
21:28
Fir and um I got the keys Jay-Z and khed
21:33
that was another one there's just a
21:34
bunch of those so it kind of sent me a
21:37
whole different way that I wasn't really
21:38
necessarily going for MH and then I
21:42
don't know during during the pandemic I
21:44
really got back on just making hip-hop
21:46
the traditional things I came from and
21:50
you know me and this guy connected again
21:52
um was really obviously you know what
21:54
happened with his kids was just so
21:56
tragic just made us talk a lot L more
21:59
and uh I was just kind of there for him
22:01
on some like how whatever you want to do
22:04
if you want to make music we could do
22:05
that it didn't have to be to come out
22:07
yeah whatever is going to put him in a
22:08
better place and make him feel good and
22:10
that's kind of what started this whole
22:12
project you know
22:15
pause oh no man you got to pause that
22:19
was a Sentimental moment right there you
22:20
still got a
22:22
pause serious that was that was actually
22:25
makes him feel good he was making you
22:27
feel good bro that's incredible what no
22:30
but like on on a serious note like you
22:33
know that that really meant a lot to me
22:35
yeah cuz one day we just was talking and
22:37
Jake was just like man listen like I'm
22:39
just here for you like it ain't even got
22:41
nothing to do with the music you want to
22:43
do music we could do music whatever but
22:45
I'm just here for you like you know as
22:47
the person Lely like you know so and I
22:50
felt that in my heart like you can feel
22:52
when it's genuine you know what I'm
22:54
saying so you know you know I always
22:55
felt like when we did the first tape you
22:58
know he was carrying me so it was like
23:00
yeah at this point I felt like my weight
23:02
was up where I could help him and we
23:04
could help each other tell Jake like who
23:05
was reaching out to you talking about
23:06
they heard the album and like you know I
23:08
mean tell them yeah you know we got tell
23:09
them the big names come on man it's time
23:12

23:18
inspired man who who are those names
23:21
though I mean you know the J Cole's and
23:24
and those kind of guys they they told me
23:25

23:28
thought you know in the moment we did it
23:30

up all of those era Jake a goat on the
23:48
low like he the type of goat That'll
23:50
Walk right past you you don't even know
23:51
it that's why I'm trying to get out of I
23:53
just want my music to speak you know
23:54
what I mean like I want people to look
23:57
at the songs I did and be like Dam damn
23:59
like that's to me more important than me
24:01
having to tell somebody um but that's
24:03
the old way you know that's not the new
24:04
way that's what I was going to say
24:06
that's the old way that's me you know I
24:07
can't I'm not going to change at this
24:09
point I'm too old yeah cuz I would have
24:10
like to put a verse on I got the
24:12
keys you didn't call them then you
24:14
didn't want to help him then oh
24:18

24:20
mind I mean we know I wasn't in charge
24:23
of that one okay next time next time for
24:25
all the people that that don't know like
24:28
some times producers don't even have
24:29
control of like you know I mean who

24:50
in the building we talking an
24:54
W what's go ahead man what's your
24:56
question
24:58
so my question I got a question for Jake
25:00
one and freeway um starting with Jake
25:02
one my first time being introduced to
25:05
you was when you created the John Cena
25:07
beat my time is now John Cena and I
25:11
heard the little story behind that beat
25:13
was that it landed to ghost face it also
25:15
went to arsonist artist destroy and then
25:17
it landed on John Cena so could you
25:20
explain about like I don't know about I
25:21
mean I would say when I made it I wanted
25:23
Ghostface to have it but at that point I
25:25
don't have the juice to get the ghost
25:27
face the real story is is and we going
25:29
to go back Bay Area and how I met you uh
25:32
Walt licker Walt licker oh my go Planet

25:51
thought it was
25:53
liquor damn man hey man listen pause is
25:57
stressful
26:00
so so Walt was at uh KL and he gave John
26:04
Cena beats and that might have been at
26:05
your show that might have actually been
26:06
as a result of of wake up show yeah

26:10
the DNA of everything somehow some way
26:13

30:39

30:54
it's all love bro hey man appreciate
30:56
your call real I'm glad we had that full
30:58
circle moment brother you super Citizen
31:00
Way in the morning I appreciate that
31:03
Mike Muse take us
31:04
home yeah I kind of want to just stick
31:06
in that same vein of what this caller
31:08
just asked about you said
31:15
something I'm sorry come on man come on
31:19
man we need we need a little humor I
31:21
love it make it light sometimes yeah you
31:23
said something really interesting you
31:24
said that you were going to um it wasn't
31:26
about making the music to make music
31:28
right it was about being there for him
31:30
um and I looked at that as a form of
31:32
therapy and so free you opened up so
31:35
with vulnerability and emotion I think
31:37
that can help unlock a lot of things in
31:39
people and so I'm just curious you know
31:41
did you see that as a form of therapy as
31:43
you're dealing with very complicated
31:45
moments and traumatic moments in your
31:47
life and then what would you recommend
31:49
for people who may feel stuck in their
31:51
trauma uh to help get them out who may
31:53
not have resources most definitely
31:55
opening up you know really helped me a
31:58
lot you know just even if it's just
32:00
talking to talking about it to somebody
32:02
that I know genuinely cares you know
32:03
that really really helped me out a lot
32:06
you know um being around people that's
32:09
dealing with some of the same things
32:11
you're dealing with like when I I feel
32:13
like like God don't make no mistakes so
32:16
when I had kidney failure you know for
32:18
those four
32:19
years it was important for me to get
32:22
genuine love and be around people that
32:24
really genuinely care for me you know
32:26
that really helped me a lot helped me
32:28
and a lot of the things that I went
32:30
through I feel like prepared me for what
32:31
I was about to go through like my
32:33
daughter was diagnosed with cancer
32:35
September 2020 so she she had like a
32:39
couple surgeries she had like a surgery
32:40
on her back she had little things that
32:42
she went through so after one of her
32:43
surgeries like she had the trins and
32:44
everything that she had and I still had
32:47
video of me going through that those
32:48
things so I was able to show her like
32:50
look baby I went through it and I got
32:51
through it you can do it too look it's
32:54
right here you can see it you know so I
32:56
feel like like a lot of the things that
32:59
I went through prepared me for what I
33:01
had to go through you know so all praise
33:04
is due to God man and you know uh
33:07
definitely like opening up you know
33:09
sharing your story uh connecting with
33:12
people that that may have similar
33:14
stories um I got some great Partnerships
33:16
I got a partnership with gift of life
33:19
which is a organ procurement you know
33:21
place and I sit in a unique space and
33:25
that's one of the main reasons why I had
33:26
a partnership with him I'm actually a
33:28
transplant kidney transplant recipient
33:30
and I'm a donor dad so so when my son
33:33
passed away he save four lives wowow and
33:37
when I was when he was laying there
33:41
and it was a moment that like you know
33:45
anybody it's a devastating moment but
33:48
somebody approached me like listen we
33:49
know you're going through it right now
33:51
we know you're going through this
33:53
traumatic experience but your son can
33:55
save some lives right now you know and
33:58
