New Jake One - "The Truth" (feat. Brother Ali and Freeway")


Download: Jake One - "The Truth" (feat. Brother Ali and Freeway)

You may know Seattle hip-hop producer Jake One from his work with an impressive array of rap artists, including De La Soul, Nas, 50 Cent (which makes sense, what with being a member of the G-Unit production team) and MF Doom. In his many years in the game, One has managed quite an impressive resume. A document that does not, however, include solo artists.

Needless to say, that has changed. On October 7th, Jake One will release his debut album in front of the mic. It's called White Van Music, and it will be released via Rhymesayers, the Minneapolis label that also debuted the first single, "The Truth". The song features a verse from Brother Ali, who knows a thing or two about the truth, specifically its location. In contrast to Ali's reggae-derived sonic rabble-rousing, the beats here are a little more chill, letting the verses from Freeway and Ali take the spotlight. There's a distinctly gospel vibe here, whether is the preacher tone that the Brother takes in his verses, or the haunting harmonies hovering in the background. The focus point here, obviously, is the beat, and Jake One has created another set of rhythms that should look impressive against the rest of his diverse sonic portfolio. Listen to "The Truth" at the top of the post.
