Jake One: Talking about Hip Hop/Production/and the Program

Jake One's long history of production began in 1992, when he was inspired to begin creating beats by Sensimilla producer Hussein and Vitamin D (Derrick Brown). After collaborating with underground hip-hop artists Boom Bap Project and Sharpshooters, Jake's production was usurped by the commercial world of rap—artists 50 Cent, Kutfather, Snoop Dogg, G-Unit and E-40 have either directly featured his production on their albums or highlighted his work on full-lengths and compilations. Jake's beats appear on records released by Rhymesayers Entertainment, Quannum, Epitaph Records, EMI Canada, Interscope and Columbia.

Crossfader's Darek Mazzone interviewed Jake in his Seattle Capitol Hill studio, where he discussed his vinyl obsession, musical modus operandi, and the stealthy and humble way in which he represents Seattle hip-hop for the United States in totality.

The white van album is a classic

You can just let it play in your deck its that vintage shit.

One of my favorites is "Trap Door" feat. MF Doom but there is a lot of good songs on the album

There is Something about the asr 10.It's warm sound and ability to layer and add EFX . I use my mpc more than the ensoniq usually. It brings out the talent in dope producers. Props to Jake One
