FIENDS COMIN’ TO COP, FREE DUCKIN’ THE COPS…

Sorry for missing a post yesterday. Your boys were busy at work, but we’ll make up for it with a big week next week.

I don’t think this song came out because of sample clearance. That’s just a guess though. If it didn’t, I hope Mr. Richie has some type of problem with the fact that his most publicized contribution to this world is currently that bony little smut jawn and not this STREET BANGER.

9,000,000 BUNDLES AND BOUNCE?
COMMODORES OG SHIT!

The adlibs at the beginning of this track are pretty hilarious, but Free sounds dope on them uptempo hyphy keyboards.

Free’s love song to…. THE BLOCK. Some ol’ mix tape shit.

GOODBYE!!!

This song was floating around on a couple mixtapes about a year ago and is a rather obvious attempt to make a sequel to “Flipside.” It’s aesthetically really similar and lyrical references to the OG are made throughout the song, most notably the hook. As contrived as it sounds on paper, I still think this song works. I play it pretty often in my opening sets when DJing and while it doesn’t have the obvious recognition that “Flipside,” it still works alright in a club setting. But, really, hearing Free, Peedi, and Just Blaze together is always a good look.

ONLY 18 DAYS LEFT! GYEAH!

I’m not even sure if anyone cares about our little countdown here because people are scared to post comments, but we’re going to keep this thing moving forward because that’s what Freeway would want (WWFD?). In other words, leave a comment, I don’t care what it says.

Anyway, this is a dope remix of Kelis’s already dope song “Stick Up” from her underrated album “Tasty.” The song is produced by Dame Grease who’s claim to fame is producing the “Get at Me Dog” beat. I didn’t even know that until I peeped his discogs page. But, eff Kelis and eff Dame Grease because this is about Freeway. Peep.

Couple more Free-related joints. First, a pretty bad rip I made of the Miracles song that Kanye sampled for the State Property anthem that Bliz posted yesterday. I ripped it from my portable turntable. Sorry. It’s still an amazing song and Kanye did a great job with the samples. To this day, it’s probably my favorite Kanye beat. The Miracles song is really beautiful, too.

And, as a bonus beat, my man Nick Catchdubs from Fool’s Gold Records hit me off with this funky blend of “What We Do” that he did for the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. It’s fun and got a much different vibe than the original. Shit is really dope.

it seems like we grind from the bottom…

I guess you could say this is beans’ track cause he has two verses on it, but knowing what Freeway does on the third verse it’s hard to really say that. This shit is ridiculous. He didn’t rap a lot on the first State Prop album(besides international hustler) but stuff like this made it clear why he was in the front of the line for solo albums.

HOW ON EARTH COULD LIFE END LIKE THIS?

21 days left!

Below I’ve posted a great song with Free and Peedi off an old Peedi mixtape. Some old sample where dude is singing about weed and cocaine and both Free and Pedro kill it. Don’t complain about the 128 kbps. This jawn is rare and I’m shocked I even have it.

We here at Crossfaded Bacon love us some Leslie Pridgen. So much so, in fact that starting today, I’m going to be posting one Freeway-related song per day (BUSINESS DAYS ONLY… I’M BUSY HUNGOVER ON WEEKENDS) until this dude’s album drops. The song might be a Freeway song, a song featuring Freeway, the original sample of a song Freeway raps on, or something else entirely. I dunno. Whatever.

The point is, “FREE AT LAST” has finally been given a release date (NOVEMBER 20th) and I pray to god it doesn’t get pushed back indefinitely. If it does, rest assured, I will be making “FREE FREEWAY” shirts ASAP.

Anyway, here’s Day 1’s contribution. A track from the album called “It’s Over” and it’s a banger.
