Album de la semaine: Freeway & Jake One - The Stimulus Package

@@@@

Finally a 2010 hip hop release that's worth a damn, this year has started awfully slow for the genre... So here we have a classic 1 MC and 1 producer pairing (pretty much the way to go), from an unusual pairing but the synergy is definitely here. Jake One is a great producer who's made beats for just about everyone, but I can't say that I was totally satisfied with his producer album "White Van Music" back in 2008. Freeway is always an MC that I've enjoyed ever since his first guest spots on Jay-Z albums, his 2003 debut Philadelphia Freeway was pretty good but I felt that he could make something more consistent. His later albums weren't as good because of production problems, but you can bet that this problem is gone here. Jake One laces Freeway with some modern banging boom bap beats and they are really dope, there is so many great beats on this album and never no weak ones. Freeway flows effortlessly over them, he really feels at home over them which is nice to see. What's nice about this album is that it's very cohesive, it feels like a complete album without any filler or unnecessary songs. This is why 1 MC/1 producer albums are great, they actually feel like albums and not just a collection of random songs. It's still possible to make some quality hip hop in 2010, producers and MC's just have to stop being so fucking lazy and put some effort in their shit. This is the album we wanted Freeway to release all this time and the same goes for Jake One, I'd be surprised if we get 10 more hip hop releases in 2010 as good as this one.
