Nipsey Hussle – “Loaded Bases” feat. CeeLo Green (Prod. By Jake One)
Still listening to that “Victory Lap” from Nipsey Hussle in 2020? Of course you are… But how do you feel about that work he and CeeLo Green put in on that Jake One beat for “Loaded Bases” though?
(No worries if you haven’t really dug into that plate yet. I keep “Racks In The Middle” and the title track on loop-to-loop myself. Might have to add this one to the rotation. Nip’s last one was a great one #Blessings #RIPNIP
There aren’t many Hip-Hop projects that are released these days where it’s impossible to skip a track.
Two years ago today, Nipsey Hussle did just that when he dropped his classic debut album titled “Victory Lap.” The project debuted at number four on the Billboard 200, with 53,000 units sold.
On January 8, 2020, the album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
“Victory Lap” struck a chord from hood to hood with songs like “Rap N!ggas,” “Last Time That I Checc’d,” “Dedication,” “Double Up” and “Real Big.”
Neighborhood Nip definitely delivered with this one. Rest in Peace Neighborhood Nip. The Marathon Continues.
“Loaded Bases” featuring CeeLo Green and produced by Jake One is my personal favorite off of the album … what is yours?

Tuxedo – “2nd Time Around” (Video)
NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series Presents: Tuxedo (Video)
A Tuxedo Tiny Desk Concert? Best ticket you didn’t even have to purchase. Check it out!
When Tuxedo arrived at NPR and Mayer Hawthorne spied a small ‘Ho!’ button sitting on Bob Boilen’s desk, he immediately beamed. “We use a big ‘Ho!’ button on tour,” he said. They didn’t bring a drummer, opting for a boombox — yes, a real boombox playing a real cassette tape, kids — and it was nostalgic delight from the start of the cassette’s hiss. The band was tight as ever, while their ace in the hole, Gavin Turek provided dance moves and the sweetest harmonies. Tuxedo set things off with a fan favorite from their first album, along with two [more] before closing it out with a red light special. It’s one thing to go against the grain for the sake of it — and another completely make it good. In this Tiny Desk concert, Tuxedo accomplished both.

Rhythm Roulette With Tuxedo (Jake One x Mayer Hawthorne) [Video]
Hawthorne’s of blue-eyed soul vibes and Jake One’s hit-laden list of production creds are brought to bear on the blindfolded beat-making challenge.
Jake One and Mayer Hawthorne form like Voltron to become production duo Tuxedo, the latest contestants on MASS APPEAL’s Rhythm Roulette. The pair stopped by Good Records – the shop, not the label – on East 5th Street in NYC, tied bandanas over their eyes, and grabbed up three random records to sample.

Tuxedo – “U Like It”
We’ve posted on Tuxedo (Jake One and Mayer Hawthorne). Heard this song a while back recently. And it popped back in my head. Struggled all weekend trying to remember what it was called and where I heard it.
Once I got my ‘memory back’ I went on a brief Tuxedo binge. So, yeah. Expect the fruits of that this week. Gonna be all good though. Admit it: “U Like It.”

Rhythm Roulette With Jake One (Video)
Jakey Uno with the homemade blind-picked beat batch of the day we have come to know and love as Rhythm Roulette. Going in with some Gospel this go-round, too. Alright now. Prepare for this praiseworthy episode.
Very few artists can traverse the constantly shifting borders between the underground and the mainstream like Jake One. The Seattle producer is respected, and rightfully so, in both worlds for his work with 50 Cent and G-Unit, De La Soul, E-40, DOOM, and more. He’s also worked on complete projects with Freeway and Brother Ali. Then with Mayer Hawthorne, he put out a feel-good album under the Tuxedo moniker. Basically, his production credits weigh a ton.
From Spin Cycle to his studio in Washington, Jake lucks out with The Best of Herbie Hancock, The Manhattans’ Forever By Your Side, and a Reverend E. Stanley Branch record. Jake One’s sampling methods kick in immediately as he skips around the records, finding a “Yeah!” from Rev. Branch and some drums from The Manhattans. He hears something worth taking from the choir on Rev. Branch’s record then drums from Herbie. The Manhattans also helped provide a snare. As the beat comes together all on his keyboard, he goes back to the choir to find some shouting to fill out the beat. Jake tinkers around with a bass line and before you know it, he’s sequenced a beat fit for the church and the club.
Another dope session. Amen!

Rick Ross – “Money Dance†feat. The-Dream (Prod. By Jake One) [Video]
So it has been about a month and change since we posted that “Money Dance” single from Ricky Rozay (featuring The-Dream) off his “Black Dollar” mixtape (out now). Now, we have that visual presentation for it for you. About right. About time. Let’s go!
Speaking of time… this video clocks in at about nine minutes. But well worth the watch. Real smooth. You know, Ross almost makes doing house arrest look like the move. Almost (ha!), but just saying though.
(Bonus: Ross has some nice Eye Candy to share as we tour his home, too, doesn’t he?)

Dave B – “The Way” (Prod. By Jake One)
So how does this recipe sound? Take a veteran Producer who has created bangers for everyone from Freeway to Mayer Hawthorne & then add a young, creative emcee in his own zone. Well if the producer is Jake One and the emcee Dave B what you get is quality head nod music.  I have been on Dave B for a minute now and I am just waiting for that full project from him and Jake One but until then rock out with this new heat called “The Way.” Also featured on the track is Shelby Poole who provides some sultry vocals to complete the track.  I keep telling you all Seattle is producing some heat right now pay attention!
