Who is Freestyle
Since his split with the Arsonists, Freestyle has toured half of the planet with the likes of Shabazz the Disciple, Swedish rap champions Loop Troop & Timbuktu, Germany's hip-hop pioneer Torch and the Wu-Tang Clan, developing a strong following in his wake. Wherever he goes or no matter whom he tours with, Freestyle's charisma is evidently visible on and off the stage.
This 3 time Zulu Nation Battle Champion has shared the stage with The Roots, Public Enemy, EPMD, and Pharrell. In broadening his appreciation for diversity, he's done festivals with James Brown, Gypsy Kings, Black Sabbath and Kraftwerk. Being involved with events sponsored by major corporations such as Sony, iRiver, Marlboro, Scion, MTV, ABC TV, Viva (Germany), Canal Plus (France), Much Music (Canada), BET, etc. proves Freestyle is top choice when it comes to needing the right person to get it done. He?s also modeled for independent and major clothing lines such as Triple 5 Soul, Illmatic (Germany), G-Shock (Casio), etc? Having been featured in all the major magazines such as The Source, Vibe, Urb, The New York Times, and Hiphop Connection (UK), Free has also established a fan base that transcends all city barricades. Not to mention he has featured on over 30 albums worldwide! His discography is insane, dating from 1995 to now, spilling over with many years of experience.
In 2004 Battle Axe Records, home to Swollen members, released his solo accomplishment ?Etched in Stone?, and in 2007 he brings you ?The Long Road to Classic?. Freestyle is the living example of what a rap star should and can be. Warn your friends.
