Freek-A-Leek
Petey Pablo
Released in December 2003, this song is the first single from his second album Still Writing In My Diary: 2nd Entry. It was produced by Lil Jon.
It should also be noted that originally, Lil Jon Intended for this production to be for Usher’s 2004 Hit Single, “Yeah”. The Production that would become “Freek-A-Leek” was given to Pablo by Jive without Jon’s knowledge, after which he recorded the song.
Although Lil Jon eventually realized the mistake after Pablo played him “Freek-a-Leek” during one of their studio sessions, Pablo was unwilling to give up the song, especially as it was already receiving airplay on Southern hip hop radio. As a result, Lil Jon created an entirely new instrumental for “Yeah!”, and Jive Records solicited “Freek-a-Leek” as the first single from Still Writing in My Diary: 2nd Entry on December 16, 2003…
