He later met fellow rapper Beanie Sigel, who would be signed to Roc-A-Fella and later help Freeway get a contract with the record label. Freeway became one of the label's most visible artists after making his first appearance on The Dynasty: Roc La Familia in 2000 and appearing on several other Roc releases before putting out his solo album, Philadelphia Freeway.
The album was produced primarily by Roc-A-Fella-affiliated artists--Just Blaze, Bink!, Kanye West--and featured mostly Roc-A-Fella rappers as well, many of them from State Property: a Philadelphia-based bunch of Roc members that Freeway and Beanie Sigel had compiled into a group.

You know I'm rolling with the FREEEEEEEWAY

I'm with the FREEEEEEE its all I need the ROC is all I need I'm with the Free
You know I'm rollin down the FREEEEEEE
Who you with ma freeway flow too legit to quit
Not too legit to spit crimes
Did shoot out on you front steps music
Put the intro teck to it in front of your step moms
And I write hooks make you break your neck to it, make you like crooks
Close you eyes I can take you to the hood B
Closer that you could be bumping the hood chickens
With intising looks that pack nines half the hood niggaz roll with shoties
Other half got watch they bodies
From the niggaz with the black mask, snatch cash, fuck the lottery
Even a strong arm robberies strong ties to Bobby
And its long time in these lines and lobbies so we all grind
Cops, 6000 and bonnies and we on time let a clip flow through your body
Got the macks, he got the nines, I got the gats, he got the ride, we rolling out
[Chorus]
[Verse 2: Freeway]
Verse two you in my will then bitch you close
To the nigga that make all the moves in the hood
Rock jewels in the hood feel safe when you come through
Cruise trough the hood and from the ghetto to the burbs
My niggaz they pedal birds and hocus pocus smokers notice
I went from every day making a service
To pulling up to the curb in big ass excursions
Hogging up the road and my eighth grade teacher Mrs. Lee hope you listening
Something with my life fool something with the right fool
Made it through the night that was night school
Made the right moves with the right crew don't be ridiculous
Cash rules don't be ridiculous skip school and I'm getting it
Click booms what I get it with still hit fools where they living at
She got the gauge, I got the mack, she got the weed, I got the bat, we rolling out

I wear expensive jewelry in the city and have no fear because of my reputation
Cruise trough the hood and from the ghetto to the burbs
I travel all over the city from the rough areas to the suburbs
My niggaz they pedal birds and hocus pocus smokers notice
My crew sells drugs and drug addicts know it
I went from every day making a service
I used to do drug deals every day
To pulling up to the curb in big ass excursions
Now I have big and fancy cars
Hogging up the road and my eighth grade teacher Mrs. Lee hope you listening
I'm now rich and successful and want to brag to my old teacher
Something with my life fool something with the right fool
I did something right with my life because I'm now very successful
Made it through the night that was night school
I overcame hard times like I was in night school
Made the right moves with the right crew don't be ridiculous
I surrounded myself with the right people and made smart decisions
Cash rules don't be ridiculous skip school and I'm getting it
Money is important and I didn't even finish school to be successful
Click booms what I get it with still hit fools where they living at
I'm still violent and won't hesitate to hurt people
She got the gauge, I got the mack, she got the weed, I got the bat, we rolling out
Our group has different weapons and drugs, but we're still leaving now
