In the Boston/Framingham area
Freedom honed his skills while rapping to young teen audiences who
had just recently become familiarized with this vibrant New York street
culture. From there Freedom went
to college and formed a rap group
called “The Chosen Few” (also known
as “Hard Core”). They opened for
Dana Dane and Joe-Ski Love, and
the Beastie Boys’ first show ever in
Newport News, Virginia. However, his
love for the music wasn’t fully realized, and while attending Virginia’s
own Hampton University as a history/
mass media communications major
he was counseled by a music professor, Roland Carter, to follow his heart
and focus on music. He moved back
to New York and got an engineering internship at Quad Studio where
her met Rob and David. They worked
together for three years producing
music, doing guest appearances,
raps, mixing and song writing before
forming C&C Music Factory. C&C
Music Factory was never a firm group
but individual producers who worked
together. After experiencing a lot of
tension among the group Freedom
left to do his solo album.

Freedom has a gift for story telling, through song,
books and even screenplays. In addition to songs,
he has written several children’s books, history
chapters, and screen plays. Underneath his tough
guy Brooklyn exterior is a real softy who does charity work with the Boys and Girls Club, marches for
a cure to Breast Cancer with his Hip Hop celebrity
friends and the Mama Luke Foundation, Freedom
works against the stop and frisk policies maintained
by the NYPD vehemently, he mentors youths in his
community and raises funds for the Deanna Bazemore Foundation for domestic violence even
though he himself was falsely accused of domestic
violence by his ex wife. He produces and manages
young talent, works in construction, and is working
on landing his own TV reality show called “Freedom
Williams Rocks da House”. Being creative is second nature for him, Liquid Rush is just the tip of the
iceberg.
