Jake One Takes Us ‘Behind The Beat’ For Rick Ross’ “3 Kings” feat. Jay Z And Dr. Dre (Video)
September 8, 2014
Hmmm… Kendrick Lamar had a shot at the “3 Kings” beat first, huh? Interesting. Well, it wasn’t like the music was wasted. Rozay did the work (listen here). Jake One beats should never be. Check him out as he explains how the beat came to be for the Behind The Beat series.
I finally show you how I made Rick Ross feat. Jay Z and Dr. Dre “3 Kings.” The drum sounds for this song and many others from my personal library are available on snarejordan.com

June 11, 2014
Seattle producer Jake One aka ‘Snare Jordan’ is a beast with the beatmaking. We’ve posted on him before. Did you know his work was on one of those monster singles from 50’s “Animal Ambition” LP? Well, here’s visuals on his making of the “The Funeral” beat. Daughter with him, at the house, kind of like a take your kid to work day.

Wiz Khalifa – “The Grinder” (Video)
May 30, 2012
It’s good to see many of the songs I’ve chosen to play on my radio show that weren’t necessarily singles from artists are just starting to be released as videos. This joint “The Grinder” from Wiz Khalifa’s latest “Taylor Allerdice” mixtape I instantly knew was a banger produced by Seattle beatsmith Jake One. Niiiiiiice….

R&B/Soul: Joy Denalane feat. Bilal – “Should Have Never” (Jake One Remix)
March 27, 2012
I’ve been up on Germany’s Joy Denalane for a few years now, but new songs from her don’t pop up that often from the multilingual soul singer since the 2006 release of her “Born & Raised” project. It was her standout track “Change” featuring Lupe Fiasco that really caught my attention coincidentally after I had returned back to Atlanta from a trip visiting with friends in Germany. Her solo appearances & collaborations are still rare releases but she still pops up every now & then on joints with fellow R&B artists like Dwele & Bilal as well as popping up on a few rap artists & producer based projects like on Virginia’s NOTTZ song “How Long Will It Last” from his “You Need This Music” album two years ago.  So with her relative absence in releasing any new material for a few years it was surprise to see OKP premier this new remix from Seattle based producer Jake One. Joy Denalane is set to drop a brand new project on April 3rd entitled “Maureen” which apparently has a much deeper significance other than it just being her middle name. It’s makes even more sense considering the early reports that the album has a dark bluesy & soulful edge to it that is quite difficult to fully categorize. Looking forward to some more goodness with this….We’ve waited long enough

Snoop Dogg – ‘Gangbang Rookie’ feat. Pilot (prod by Jake One) (Video)
February 22, 2011
Definite banger! Been playing this on the radio show but didn’t know a video dropped for this joint! Snoop Dogg sounds dope over this Jake One produced banger. “I don’t represent the Republican party or the Democratic party….I represent the Gangsta Party”. Larry King’s repeat of “GANGSTA PARTY!” made me chuckle a few times….
