Philly Rapper Freeway Releases All Natural Best Beard Cream After Denying Beanie Sigel Death Hoax

Philadelphia rapper Freeway is best known for his career in the early 2000s as a Roc-A-Fella label mate to Beanie Sigel and Jay Z, most fans remember the performer for his amazing beard. Though he sports the beard for his Muslim religious reasons, Freeway (real name Leslie Edward Pridgen) is turning his love and care of his facial hair into a booming business with two collaborators, Gary Parker and Jason Hertzog. If you have a beard, pay attention to the Philly-run All Natural Best Beard creams for the perfect way to keep your beard looking and feeling fresh.

The partnership between the three business partners came from their love for their facial hair and the pull Freeway has in the hip hop community, especially about beards.

"I've always been known throughout the music industry for my beard," Freeway, 36, told the Philadelphia Inquirer this week.

Though his beard is more of a religious statement than style, that doesn't mean he isn't interested in making sure his facial hair is good to go each day.

"There are a lot of products out there and a lot of them have a ton of chemicals; you can't even pronounce half the stuff that's in it," said Freeway's business partner Hertzog. "I don't like that feeling. For me, it just turns me off of a product."

According to Philly.com, the cream is sold locally at Mecca Unisex Salon in North Philadelphia and Status Shop on South Street. You can also find the cream online. A half-ounce, pocket size cream is $5 and a 2.5-ounce can sells for $13.95.

Rappers including Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, and Jakk Frost are endorsers of the product.

Freeway was most recently in the headlines for bashing the claims that his friend and fellow rapper, Beanie Sigel, had died due to gunshot wounds he suffered earlier this month. Freeway took to Instagram to deny the speculation:

 Don't listen to the rumors @beaniesigelsp is alive & fighting! Please keep him in your Duas thank you!!
