Prior to last weekend, I hadn’t been to Philly in close to a decade. Credit it to my own ignorance, but I expected every dude in North Philly to look like Freeway. I was right about 40% of the time, too. Regardless, one thing  I wasn’t oblivious too was the caliber of MC the Philly Freezer was/is/will be. My homie Liad had been telling me for a few days how Free was preparing to release a new video and song in preparation of a new project he was gearing to drop. Naturally, I was intrigued, especially when I found out Jake One was behind the boards. Freeway x J.O. are one of the best combos in Hip-Hop I feel many people have yet to truly embrace.

Anyway, “Escalators” harbors a Biggie sample and a Jimmy Giambrone directorial vision. The record itself is dope, as expected. It’s perfect music to ride to and serve as an anthem as the temperature drops, while the same escalator to success continues to rise at the same speed. This Free and Jake collab add Diamond In The Ruff to an already lengthy list of projects worth checking out this fall/winter.
