    The rare hip-hop debut that does justice to its buzz. [Apr 2003, p.104]

    He's supported by the most accomplished set of beats in recent hip-hop memory.

    Freeway delivers a strong album that should lay to rest the speculation that his unique vocal style -- alternating between a scratchy crack and an anything-but-gruff shout, filtered through a consistently high pitch -- would have difficulty remaining tolerable across a full album.
