Leslie Pridgen, pka, Freeway is a Philadelphia rap legend who solidified his legendary status almost 15 years ago, but coming up on 25 years in the game puts him in rarified air. With close to 20 albums and 30 mixtapes his catalog is not only vast but impressive. He has one of the best feature counts of all time collaborating with icons such as Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Nelly, Mariah Carey, Faith Evans, Jermaine Dupri, Jadakiss, and underground kings like Sauce Walka, Benny The Butcher & The Jacka. He joins us today to discuss his storied career, resilience after losing his 2 children, overcoming kidney failure and battling the duality of being a rap star while being a devout Muslim. He tells us never been told stories about the Nas & D Block beefs, how Jay Z set him up for success and why a partnership with 50 Cent never came into fruition. All this and more on The Philadelphia Freeway Episode of TRPE.
