Freeway’s Free to Say Whatever

I think there’s balance in music. You got all different styles, different kinds of people getting different messages across. Look at me, I’m a recording artist and I’m Muslim. So I’m giving y’all a different input as somebody that believes in Allah and does different things, prays five times a day. I touch on little situations on that. Look at Kanye. He’s a Christian. He made songs like “Jesus Walks.” Then you got people that’s straight hood, straight gutter. Then you got people like Lupe Fiasco that don’t even rap about the street. You can’t say there’s not a balance cause you got different people and different egos, different backgrounds, people coming from different places. Look at down south, they making snap music and dance records. They’re not even talking about shooting and killing.I know me as an artist, I rap about what goes on, things that I see. My hood, my neighborhood reflects in my music, different things and different situations. I feel as though people are just rapping about what they go through, what they see and what they be around. If somebody talking about hoes, maybe they from a neighborhood where there’s a bunch of hoes.
