Most of you should be familiar with Seattle producer Jake One by now, whether it be for his productions for 50 Cent and G-Unit, or for his underground work with the likes of Gift of Gab or Encore.
Jake is getting ready to drop his album “White Van Music” on October 7th 2008, and it’s shaping up to be a crazy blend of different styles of Hip-Hop. MF Doom, Alchemist, Young Buck, M.O.P, Freeway, Bishop Lamont, Keak Da Sneak, Busta Rhymes, Prodigy, Royce Da 5’9″ are just a few of the names that you can expect to hear on there.
When we interviewed Jake One back in February, this is how he described “White Van Music“: “This record is definitely some super Hip-Hop shit. Lately I’ve been on my early 90’s West Coast shit for some reason for the past year, like DJ Quik’s first album, N.W.A., I got some stuff similar to that.
Everybody that’s on this album, they ended up going to my sound, Buck’s record doesn’t sound like a typical Young BUck record, it sounds like what me and him would do. I could play the Young Buck record and the MF Doom record next to each other cause they got the same vibe! *laughs* As crazy as it sounds, they are though!“
Two preview tracks from the album have just been leaked, the first one called “The Truth” with Freeway and Brother Ali and the second one, “Trap Door“, features MF Doom. Check them out below:

Enjoy the tracks and make sure to cop “White Van Music” on October 7th!
