Freeway & Jake One - “She Makes Me Feel Alright”

On the strength of Freeway’s two tracks on Jake Uno’s most excellent White Van Music and Free’s series of bombs on bloggers in 2009 comes the official dough infusion hip-hop seemingly always needs, The Stimulus Package.

I happened across Pitchfork this week and saw that they gave this album 6.5, which means two things, really:

1) They still don’t get hip-hop. 2) Correctly adjusted, this is album actually gets at least an 8.5.

This isn’t about P4k though. This is about a great emcee and a great producer hooking up for the real deal. Freeway’s always engaging flow does wonders on top of Jake One’s soul-crushing grooves. And it shines in part because of that “group”-style consistency that’s so often missing from modern day hip-hop albums.

Also: yes, the album really does have the coolest packaging ever. gregb
