Freeway (born Leslie Pridgen in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an African-American rapper. He is signed to Roc-a-Fella Records and released his first solo album in 2003.
He began rapping while in high school. He later came to meet fellow Roc-a-Fella artist Beanie Sigel who helped Freeway get a contract with the record label.
Freeway is well known for his long beard, which he keeps due to his belief in Islam (he converted into the religion).
