The entries below are works composed by the subject, as the institutional registers catalogue them; later performances and commercial recordings of the same music are listed separately. 61 further compositions are catalogued under Freeway's name without a date the collections agree on, which is why they are set apart from the dated run rather than placed in it. A selection is set out below and the complete run may be opened beneath it. It's the Mob. She Makes Me Feel Alright.

Primary material
Issued recordings, 2002–2024
These are published sound issues catalogued under the name. Most postdate the works they carry, and an issue is never counted here as a work of composition. 12 issues carry dates between 2002 and 2024. The run opens with Roc the Mic and closes with The Stimulus Package 2. The 2010s are the densest part of the run, with 6 titles, and that concentration is a fact about what the registers have catalogued rather than a judgement on the work itself. They belong to a run of 13 titles in all, from 2002 to 2024.

Recordings and discography
The discography assembled here shows how Freeway's work has been published in sound, not what Freeway made. 34 sound issues are catalogued, carrying dates from 2003 to 2025. An issue is a published recording, distinct from the composition it carries, from a printed score of that composition and from any single performance of it; none of the entries below is counted in the catalogue of compositions above, and several of them carry the same work in different readings. The 2010s are the densest decade of publication, with 17 issues. The performers and issuing labels are as the discographic register states them; where it names no performer the article names none.
