Leslie Edward Pridgen (born on July 8, 1979), better known by his stage name Freeway, is an American rapper. Best known for
his tenure on Roc-A-Fella Records and his affiliation with Jay-Z and Beanie Sigel, he is recognized by his high-pitched delivery
(akin to that of Ghostface Killah) and for the long beard he keeps due to his Muslim faith. His moniker is derived from the name
of the infamous drug trafficker "Freeway" Ricky Ross. He was a member of the rap group Ice City, is a member of the rap group
State Property and recently signed to Cash Money Records but only lasted one and a half years with the label. The only record
label Freeway's with now is Rhymesayers Entertainment and G-Unit Philly.
