While the man is undeniably on an amazing roll, it was inevitable that he'd hit a pothole and prove to be mortal. The clunker turns out to be Free's Fantasy Real contribution to the Paid In Full soundtrack.

The reason for the miss is pretty simple. Freeway was given a track to spit to that doesn't agree with his flow. Maybe they should have sped up the BPM's. The result is the absence of the spark and bite of recent Philadelphia Freeway efforts. I hate to say it but sounds like this one was mailed in. Neither Freeway or singer Frankie manage to stand out. It's just not very inspired, catchy or entertaining. Make it clear, this has more to do with the music than the vocals.

You can't win a race if you're given a hoopty to compete in. Freeway deserves more than a Ford Escort.
