In the early 2000s, rap producer Jake One collaborated with the G-Unit
collective, led by 50 Cent. In 2008, the Seattle, Washington native released the
album White Van Music, on which he collaborated with artists from the G-Unit
galaxy and veterans De La Soul. In 2010, Jake One supports Freway on the joint
album The Stimulus Package. The same year, he supported Truthlife on Patience,
credited to both their names. Very much at ease in two-man projects, Jake One
rubs shoulders with Mayer Hawthorne's neo-soul on Tuxedo in 2015.
