This is the extended cut of the behind the scenes to Jake One's Home music video Directed by Zia. I was really proud of the this version but it was just a lil to long so we had to chop it up.... I hate to compromise but it is what it is. I hope you enjoy...
Finally I'm happy to present the video to my tribute to Seattle, "Home". The song features MC's Vitamin D, Note, Maneak B and Ish, who have all big influences in music. Mix a Lot brought out his orange Lambo and Nate Burleson repped the town and the Seahawks as well. Super Director Zia did a phemomenal job creating the perfect visual for the music and now its time for the world to see it.

Take that, take that, take that! (Singing) career FAIL. Unfortunately Cassie stays losing.
