Freeway & Jake One - The Stimulus Package

Whether The Stimulus Package was released on Rhymesayers or didn't have any hit singles, in my eyes, Freeway is still a mainstream rapper. There's really no such thing as an "underground label" anyway, only independent labels. This was Freeway and Jake One both performing as good or better than they ever have. If you don't want to accept that I'm calling this a mainstream album, Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty
