Freeway – Primates (prod. by Big Ape) [audio]
No stranger to tough talk and lyrical beatdowns, Freeway isn’t mincing words on his latest track, “Primates.†Like his previous drop, “Bombdroppaz,†this joint is another bruising and neck-snapping collaboration with Amsterdam’s Big Ape.
The horns and strings-laced slapper emphasizes the best parts about the Philly Freezer and his trademark gruff vocals. Free embraces the energy of Big Ape’s instrumental and goes the f*ck off on his verses filled with varied cadences, clever wordplay, and menacing bravado. Funny enough, the emcee actually addresses those talents in some of his opening rhymes: “When it comes to flows, I’m the rapper with the mostest/ Shut down the party, it don’t matter who the host is.â€
While Freeway can certainly kick some knowledge with his raps, he can also stand alongside any rapper trying to flex on a track. And that’s exactly what he’s doing on “Primates,†which is all about bully raps spread across a heavy instrumental, with dextrous cuts courtesy of Sweden’s DJ Devastate.
“Primates†and its B-side, “Bombdroppaz,†are now available for stream and download through all major digital retailers, via Elite Fleet Records, and drops next Friday on wax, as a limited edition blue 7-inch.
