Philly Freezer has found a new home. Freeway is now a member of the Babygrande family. The Roc-a-Fella alum is also working on a new album, Diamond in the Ruff. It marks Free's first album since teaming up with Jake One for 2010 standout, The Stimulus Package.
"Freeway is a legend," boasts Babygrande A&R Ruddy Rock. "Philadelphia Freeway is easily one of my favorite albums of all time. From his time working with Jay-Z and Roc-A-Fella to his independent releases, Freeway remains one of the most consistent artists. We're excited to partner with him and Amir [Free's manager] for Diamond in the Ruff."
Diamond in the Ruff features production from Jake One, Bink!, and Needlez. On the vocal side of things, Free joins forces with Wale, Styles P, Marsha Ambrosius, and Musiq Soulchild.
Diamond in the Ruff is set to hit shelves on November 13, 2012.

Never thought I’d be looking out for a Freeway album but after Stimulus Package I’ll give his next effort a try for sure.
I recall a Washington DC rap group with an album by the same name. Diamond District!!!! I’m cool with Freeway using it though
