Philadelphia Freeway Talks Kidney Disease, Eagles, And The Power Of The Posse Cut

Rappers Freeway, P.Dot57's Public Battle With Kidney Disease Is A Lesson For All

Recently I interviewed an emcee I’ve respected lyrically, but this conversation had a few pivots.

Rapper P. Dot57, also known as Phil Davis, is a busy man.

New Jersey assistant high school principal. Newly married man, and a father.

But as a full-time Chronic Kidney disease activist, P.Dot57 is in a different lane.

Freeway and State Property were the soundtrack to my teenage years and like P, when I spoke to Free about his battle with kidney disease, personal tragedy and the art of bars, and how Scarface and Beans pushed each other, he didn’t miss.

Happy Fathers Day to all who claim, do, want and love the title.
