As harrowing as it can be to, say, have to figure out the Philadelphia subway system (which, granted, makes much more sense than my home city’s bus schedules) after a sleepless night in a dilapidated hostel, it’s virtually impossible not to look back fondly on one’s travel experiences.  Philly’s own Freeway, for one, credits life on the road for making him who he is today, and, on this new mixtape cut, he joins up with another native of the City of Brotherly Love, former Roc-A-Fella rapper Young Chris, to pay tribute to All the Cities they’ve visited during their time in the game.  Phoe Notes mellow boardwork, driven by a wandering jazz bassline, sets an appropriately nostalgic mood as the two emcees reminisce about all they’ve experienced on the road to musical success, from past romances to hair-raising run-ins with crooked cops.  Those who enjoy this leisurely trip down Memory Lane are sure to find more to their liking on Freelapse (tentatively scheduled to drop on the 28th), as well as on Freeway’s Stimulus Package mixtape with Jake One (due out in late August).

I've always been a fan of Free's, but the real catch here is the production of Phoe Notes. I mean, damn. This fresh jazzy lounge vibe is too dope.

Young Chris is solid here too (but he needs to step up his Twitter game if he wants continued support from the Booth). I joke, I kid.

I've heard better from Free. This wasn't bad but he definitely has come harder on tracks. Then again, this is a mixtape track. Young Chris was decent on here and the production was nice. 3 stars.

Freeway's often droning vocals are somethin that people either love or hate, but it really works on this track. The great jazzy production is the real star on this track, though, as Z mentioned. Nice track from Free

I was listening to the joint "Freeway's Beard" haha ... he took a great Em line and took it to the next level!
Phoe does a great job with instrumental and both Free and Chris are solid on their verses ... 3.5

Oh that jazzy sound had me from the beginning. I think I would rather hear the beat minus the lyrics.

LOVED the jazzy production. Wouldn't have thought Freeway would jump on something like this, but it works. Granted, I'm not all that familiar with his work, but this is a complete 180 from something like Take it to the Top. Solid add to the rotation.
