  1. 9.0 |   PopMatters

    An early contender for hip-hop album of the year, not to mention an album that will easily stay in your rotation for years, not just months, to come

  2. 8.0 |   Eye Weekly

    The only things missing from The Stimulus Package are the requisite major label–mandated strip-club joint and a few R&B throwaways for the radio. Wait, no — those aren’t missing at all

  3. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    There’s nothing particularly flashy about the production, it’s just well chosen samples over simple yet effective beats. Yet this is an environment Freeway seems comfortable in, and the record’s best moments are products of a basic hip hop formula

  4. 7.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    Which other rappers can put out an album that is simultaneously a career high and another serving of the same-old?

  5. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    The excellent beats by G Unit vet Jake One are full of smacking snare hits and soul samples

  6. 6.5 |   Pitchfork

    The Stimulus Package would work better as an album if Free had a little more help directing his skills, or if he just decided to rap hard on every song instead of tying himself to concepts

  7. 6.0 |   Spin

    By the momentum-killing third act, the rapper sounds on the verge of exhaustion from delivering Stimulus' contrived lyrical weight

  8. 6.0 |   The Digital Fix

    It’s engaging stuff and, if not a masterpiece, The Stimulus Packageis worth checking out for the lavish packaging alone

Latest Reviews

David Byrne  Who Is The Sky

The artist’s new album of bright, bustling pop is positioned as a celebration of reasons to be cheerful. Often its fountain of optimism feels like a firehose of forced positivity Pitchfork

Ed Sheeran  Play

On the enjoyably moreish Play, the ‘culturally Irish’ star sounds as if he’s back on form. Although we’ve only had time for a quick listen The Irish Times

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

This record plays like his shot for glory, and with tracks as hooky and well-constructed as "Mockingjay" or the title track, there's no reason he shouldn't hit the big time All Music
