Freeway Boyz consists of two members that go by the names of Menace and Young Dean aka DL. The boyz, both aged 22, have been best of mates since the age of 3, and began writing music since the brittle age of 9. Never did they write together right up until the age of 16, when they discovered that they had two styles that would collaborate to produce a unique and talented outcome.
Menace being the cousin of already well-known Australian artists/producers/song writers Rudy & Revelino (who have worked with artists as big as Pretty Ricky, Static Major, & Afrika Islam), spells that musical talent is bred in the family genes, and proves Menace to be a promising aspect for Hip-Hop coming out'a the oz. His style is raw & appealing, and spits lyrics that hit home. He was brought up listening to Biggie, and knows what real hip hop is, and where it needs to go.
DL was introduced to Hip-Hop when he was just 6 years of age and having been influenced by artists such as Snoop, T.I, Ludacris & Young Rome, he assures us that he appreciates incredible flow, amazing lyrics, crazy delivery, and is aware of the high expectations of new comers to the game...so these two are definetly something to keep to keep your eyes & ears open for.
The boyz, after winning best vocal group in two talent quests on the run, began taking writing to a higher level and intensity. They have been writing heavily ever since, and recently released their debut mixtape entitled "SR presents Freeway Boyz" which was produced by SR. The mixtape consists of 12 tracks, showing versatility from the club poppy-feel track 'Feel It', to the hard hitting 'So Damn Drunk' and then to the mellow 'We Will Fly' (which includes a sample of Daryl Braithwaites 'Horses') and 'Hooked'. Their first track released to the public ‘Feel It’ received local praise and playback at various clubs around Melbourne. The mixtape promises to be the perfect launchpad for two of Australia's best up & coming MC's. This is just a start, there's plenty more music and growth to come. They are currently working on their new project.
