Shabazz The Disciple Since his split with the
Arsonists , Freestyle has toured half of the planet with the likes ofShabazz the Disciple , Swedish rap championsLooptroop & Timbuktu, Germany's hip-hop pioneer Torch and theWu-Tang Clan , developing a strong following in his wake. Wherever he goes or no matter whom he tours with, Freestyle's charisma is evidently visible on and off the stage.This 3 time Zulu Nation Battle Champion has shared the stage with
The Roots , Public Enemy,EPMD , and Pharrell. In broadening his appreciation for diversity, he's done festivals withJames Brown ,Gypsy Kings ,Black Sabbath andKraftwerk . Being involved with events sponsored by major corporations such as Sony, iRiver, Marlboro, Scion, MTV, ABC TV, Viva (Germany), Canal Plus (France), Much Music (Canada), BET, etc. proves Freestyle is top choice when it comes to needing the right person to get it done. He’s also modeled for independent and major clothing lines such asTriple 5 Soul , Illmatic (Germany), G-Shock (Casio), etc. Having been featured in all the major magazines such as "The Source", Vibe, Urb,The New York Times , and "Hip Hop Connection ", Free has also established a fan base that transcends all city barricades. He has featured on over 30 albums worldwide between 1995 and the present day.In 2004 Battle Axe Records, home to
Swollen Members , released his solo accomplishment "Etched in Stone ", and in 2007 "The Long Road to Classic" was released.Discography
