Hot off the heels of his November 20th release of Free at Last, Freeway is currently Zune's Ignition artist for the month of December, and has released the free and exclusive track "Where You Been," available only in Zune Marketplace from Dec. 19-Jan. 7. Also now available exclusively in Zune Marketplace is a track-by-track Breakdown of Free at Last, and special behind the scenes/backstage video footage is available for streaming on MSN.com and as a free download on Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
In the four years since Freeway released his classic, soul stirring solo debut, Philadelphia Freeway, the ferocious lyrical kingpin has evolved as a man and as an artist. Free at Last is a musical collage of cinematically absorbing soul soundscapes and urgent club bangers, as well as Free's transfixing narratives of his birth into the rap game, struggles in the streets, and strife he continues to encounter professionally and personally.
The Zune Ignition program provides a unique multi-platform online promotional push for artists through Zune Marketplace, MSN.com, and Xbox.com. Freeway now joins the ranks of past Ignition artists such as Maximo Park, Ryan Adams, Editors, Talib Kweli and Band of Horses.

FREE is always good. It’s my favorite 4 letter F word.
Don’t know this artists stuff at all, but good that it’s opening him up to more people.
I think its great the MS helps to support lesser know artists. I’m sure plenty of people might not download their music, but most people will listen to a free track. Its an excellent to promote an artist, and if you like the music, you’ll buy more tracks from them.
Exactly. That’s all it takes is for the right person to hear t and get the ball rolling.
I’m sure Freeway also has a favourite four-lettered F word, ;).
Anyways, good on ‘em.
Free is good.
Talib is one of my favorite artists. Very socially conscious. (i dig that in my artists)
