Although we’re less than a month into 2011, Freeway’s already dropped an EP and is currently working on two additional projects. During an interview with Mr. Peter Parker, Freeway revealed that he and Jake One will release a follow-up to their critically acclaimed album, The Stimulus Package (one of the best titles of 2010). “We got so many records, man; it’s inevitable,” said Free. Currently there’s no confirmed release date for the Stimulus Package 2 or Free’s solo album, Diamond In The Rough, but he did note that Jake One, Just Blaze, and Bink! will produce on the latter.
