About Freeway
Dexter Collins, better known as Freeway, is an American rapper signed to Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella imprint under Def Jam Recordings. He is notable for rhymes which are checkered throughout his verses, and for the long beard he keeps due to his Muslim faith. He got his name from the infamous drug trafficker "Freeway" Ricky Ross. He was a member of the rap groups Ice City & State Property.In 1997, Freeway, who began his career as an MC by battling at the lunch tables in his high school cafeteria, met fellow Philly native Beanie Sigel while rapping on stage at a hometown nightclub. "We aint never exchange numbers or anything, but he told me I was hot and I told him he was hot," said Freeway. The two struggling MCs also made a pact that whoever got signed first would help get the other a record deal. Staying true to his word, Beanie Sigel "came back and got Freeway" not long after being signed to Roc-A-Fella Records. Freeway became one of the label's most valuable artists after making his first appearance on The Dynasty: Roc La Familia and appearing on several other Roc-A-Fella releases before putting out his solo album, Philadelphia Freeway.
