Freeway - When I Die ft. James Blunt
Artist: Freeway
Producer: Oddz.N.Endz
Album: Month of Madness Series (Day 26)
Label: Babygrande
As Freeway gets ready to close out his Month of Madness series, he decides to employ the same strategy that worked so well on his two albums, Philadelphia Freeway and Free At Last: get personal towards the end. For day 26, he spits another version of his autobiography in three chapter-verses, reminiscing on his early life in the Philadelphia streets, his time with the Roc-A-Fella dynasty, and the global happenings throughout that time, knowing that, When I Die, he’ll be ready. To surround his straight-from-the-heart rhymes, Free picks up a smooth piano loop from Oddz.N.Endz, who use a sample from Mr. You’re Beautiful himself, James Blunt. We’ve now seen how Freeway plans to bring his series to a close – will K. Sparks and Theo choose to take a similar path?

I'm feelin the James Blunt sample, add a snare pattern and you got yourself a hot hip hop beat! Only downside is that I dont think this was a track made specifically for Freeway. I like the song, but I like him more with the energy and club bangers. Still gotta give this one an easy 3 for creativity and the lyrics. I'm seein some big improvements from Philly's own!

The production was real dope and off the chains. Freeway's flow was really sincere and soulful. Rotation.

I didn't like the James Blunt sample that much...but FW's rapping was alright and i would've liked the beat if it didn't have those stupid obnoxious drums- well, actually as i keep listening- they kinda fade- they're ok. Overall- tracks good.

Very nice track had to give it a four just because music to me is real life. I feel that if people see stars and their struggles it gives them hope. Also freeway just has this unique style and james blunt on the song was just a perfect fit.

I love the James Blunt sample and beat. Freeway hits up some deep lyrics also. The idea of using James Blunt on this is commendable, it shows how open and diverse the rap game is these days. Overall, pretty Bangin' track.
