Hip hop artist Freeway tackles dialysis and raises awareness around kidney disease

Freeway is a hip hop rapper, a musician who loves to entertain his fans

Recently Freeway has taken on a new mission. Yes, he’s still making music, but he’s also an ambassador for the National Kidney Foundation and a constant advocate for kidney health awareness. Back in 2015, the 38-year-old rapper was diagnosed with kidney failure and is now on dialysis.

Freeway has been using his personal story to educate as many people as possible about the dangers of kidney failure, as he wasn’t aware of how crucial a healthy diet and getting regular physician check-ups could be. And beyond tweets and talks, Freeway is putting his money where his mouth is, leading marches and giving free performances to raise awareness of the issue, all while sticking to his own dialysis schedule.
