Freeway's Month Of Madness

Few, if any artist's from Philly or anywhere else in America have ever put together as impressive and relentless a month musically as Freeway has this December of 2008. In the same vein as Los Angeles rhyme phenom Crooked I and his online "Hip-Hop Weekly" givaways, Freeway's "Month Of Madness" takes that idea a step further. Dropping a new and totally gratis joint everyday of this month for his fans, and literally upholding the essence of his stage name, Free does a great deal to convince this writer of his true conviction at any expense to the culture of Hip-Hop and it's base within grassroots, free promotion. Totally exceeding my expectations, every song dropped is an original production, handled by one of a plethora of different and much sought after beatmakers including, but not limited to, The Alchemist, Jake One, Don Cannon, Oddisee and Erick Sermon. The real story behind the production I believe however is the emergence of "Blunt"....I know little about this promising new beatsmith, but due to his utterly stellar performance over the past month backing up Freeway with his powerful rhythms, I'm sure that fact will change, for me as well as the rest of Hip-Hop collectively, if it hasn't already. The same goes for "Cardiak", who didn't have as may beats on here as Blunt did (8), but certainly put his best foot forward none the less.

The overall music Freeway has doled out to us free of charge this 12th and final month of 2008 is tremendously well done and gives a mighty glimpse of what is surely to come from him in the future....hopefully in the form of a new LP, but we'll have to see. Contained in it's 30+ track listing you'll find within the joints from the "Month Of Madness" any and every topic that is worth discussing. From self-reflections, politics, violence, mortality and the state of Hip-Hop itself, the topic's are wide, but concentrated as we find Free dialed in, sounding more focused and determined than ever before. Your year isn't complete without running through these tracks and I woefully lament not putting them up day-by-day for ya'll, but I figured they would be eventually released in bulk as they are here. As they say better late than never.....Peace.
