Hip Hop legend Freeway has been incredibly vocal about his health, since his 2015 kidney failure. The rapper went in for a routine check-up and had to be rushed to the hospital to receive an emergency dialysis. As a result, the 40-year-old now has dialysis three times a week to remove excess water, solutes and toxins from the blood.

The RocNation emcee opens up about his health journey in a new documentary called Think Free , where he brings in his doctor to discuss kidney education and the Philly native’s current diagnosis.
And if you think the health challenges has messed with this iconic flow, think again.
