VIDEO: “She Makes Me Feel Alright (Live)” (Freeway & Jake One)

I did my Town wrong by not making it out to Highline Ballroom last week for Freeway and Jake One’s The Stimulus Package album release party.

Other than Beanie Sigel launching a last-ditch attempt at saving his floundering career, everything looked lovely. Brother Ali showed up to rock the mic with Philly Freezer (on “The Truth”) and Jake Uno rocked his U-Dub hat faithfully.

I love the way Jake cuts up the sample on this track. He’s one of the best working today, period.

Seatown Freezer

On 2.16.10 at the Highline Ballroom in Manhattan, Freeway and Jake One are having their (New York) Stimulus Package album release party. Sometimes living in NY has its benefits — okay, living in NY always has its benefits, but it’s especially great when a collabo like this goes down.

Free, for all his talent and quality discography, always seems just this shy of blowing. I think he’s been underrated his entire career. He’s the quintessential mainstream backpack rapper. I dig his sh*t, and always have.

And what can you say about local boy Jake One other than he’s the most well-known unknown producer in the game, and (I contend) one of the most versatile producers working today.

If you’re in NY on Feb. 16 hit up the Highline. I’ll definitely be there.

(The album packaging is f*ckin’ filthy, don’t you think?)
