Still Free

We've already mentioned the merits of the Freeway/Jake One collaboration, specifically Philly Freezer's excellent "Know What I Mean". Below, for your pleasure, a music video to accompany that banger. Unfortunately, Jake One is not in the video, and I have to wonder whether it was for logistical reasons or because having the white producer in the video would knock down street cred a notch or two. Regardless, their album is going to go hard, and if you haven't investigated Jake's thoroughly dope album White Van Music (in which everyone from M.O.P. to Busta Rhymes to Brother Ali raps over his beats) you oughta do so. His ability to produce beats that FIT the needs and personalities of a wide range of rappers from hardcore, mainstream and backpacker traditions ranging from the virtually unknown to major label heavyweights is pretty incredible. Ain't no one-trick pony.



THE TRUTH.
