Freeway, The Beat Made Me Do It mixtape, Jake One

Freeway signed to Rhymesayers Entertainment!? What's next Memphis Bleek signing with Definitive Jux?

Seattle based producer Jake One is bringing worlds together. He built his reputation working on the G-Unit production team under Dr. Dre. He went solo with White Van Music on Rhymesayers Entertainment. Jake One's record featured contributions from M.O.P. , Slug of Atmosphere, Brother Ali, Young Buck and Keak The Sneak, proving his soulful sounds were fit for all levels of MCs.

With the folding of Roc-A-Fella Records and Def Jam becoming stale crackers in the game, Freeway needed a new home. Rhymesayers scooped up the bearded weirdo for a free mixtape and album due in 2010 all produced by Jake One. Freeway sounds right at home, perhaps even a little too comfortable, on Jake's production as he tells intimate tales of losing his virginity, “when my parents caught us freaking/ yelling we just playing / ya'll just playing? /yeah, mommy we just playing / get back here, get your ass in.”

We have a free download of Freeway's The Beat Made Me Do It Mixtape. His album The Stimulus Package is out February 17 on Rhymesayers.
