Pretty good for a tape. State Property does partially well on top of a stringy, tense, very dark and essential boom bap jazzy that lights a tight, excellent and aggressive delivery of Free. Meek Mill, Yo Gotti, Freddie Gibbs, Trae the Truth, and Wale also do well, but Freeway works best when he's alone.
"Freezer" has his own determined, but not too aggressive, delivery on a tense, gloomy, tight, simple soulful jazzy rhythm. On the other hand, "Philly in Me" is composed of a muddy, dirty, simplistic and disturbing production, with an excellent devastating delivery of Free that sweeps away the rhythm. Last highlights of the tape, "Beard Motivation 101": amazing boom bap jazzy with soulful sample looped tight, tribute to three beats by Young Jeezy (including “Mr. 17.5"), excellent aggressive, determined, technical, raw delivery of Free, that continues to drop good lines.
The rest are mediocre tracks with simple, tight, tense / gloomy ("Life of a Don"), essential, bouncy ("Da Feel"), alternative ("Niggas in Africa"), dirty, underground ("Turn It Up"), cheap ("I'm a Hustler", "Benjamin 2") or skinny productions ("What They Want"), with Freeway trying to crash the rhythm and repeatedly succeeds because the production is too weak to support him ("Benjamin 2", "What They Want"). Quite bad "All Here" (to be skipped: annoying, badly synthesized, confused, bouncy and very tight; his delivery is almost unheard and the bridge on the hook is worse than the rhythm). "My Girl" is the cut for the club, with Clemmye pop hook, Freeway's commercial delivery and a well synthesized boom bap jazzy.
Rating: 6.5/10.
