Freeway

Freeway is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of JAY-Z, Statik Selektah, Them, The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix. Those roots explain a lot about how Freeway arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Jadakiss, Juelz Santana, Fabolous, Cassidy and Lloyd Banks, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Alaine, Nipsey Hussle, Polaco, Jadakiss and Your Old Droog, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 46 connections around Freeway, reaching back through JAY-Z and forward to Alaine. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
