Freeway and Jake One’s song “Throw Up Your Hands” is NPR’s Song of the Day. NPR praises the new album, saying, “The imprint [Rhymesayer] has proven a great home for him [Freeway], as evidenced by his excellent recent CD, The Stimulus Package. It doesn’t hurt that the disc was produced by Seattle DJ Jake One, perhaps the best boom-bap-style beat maker in the business.” NPR calls “Throw Your Hands Up”, “a rousing jock-jam designed to get the blood pumping. Over a dramatic bass line, high-register synths and a blitzkrieg of record-scratching, Freeway announces that he and Jake One are here to rock listeners in an old-school way… Nostalgic and relevant, smart and fun, “Throw Your Hands Up” finds two compelling artists in top form.”
