Dutton is more of a freelancer for G-Unit rather than a staffer, but he did receive a spinner watch from the G-Unit family for Christmas.

Seattle super producer and self proclaimed "great beat writer" Jake One steps from behind the boards to present his own debut full-length album, White Van Music. Polishing his production chops over the last decade, Jake One has crafted the musical soundscapes for everyone from De La Soul("Rock Co.Kane Flow" feat. MF DOOM) to 50 Cent ("All Of Me" feat. Mary J. Blige). With an impressive and diverse discography Jake One has managed to bring his sound from the underground to the Billboard Top 10 charts.

Featuring an engaging cast of emerging underground artists as well as some of Hip Hop's most respected mainstream acts, Jake One's White Van Music will blur the so called lines between underground and mainstream Hip Hop... just as his stellar production career has.

Jake One on Built From Skratch


Click here for more.

Jake One’s serene home studio is lined with shelves full of vinyl from his amazing collection. Although he had been collecting for many years, he got serious about crate digging in 1995 when Seattle icon Mr. Supreme put him on to the technique of it. “I think I have somewhere over 5000 now,” says Jake, “I stopped counting a while ago. It’s definitely an addiction - I’m trying to have EVERY record, period.”

Follow Through With Jake One


Got to this article via RaindropHustla. Thanks for the assist. Jake One currently the featured read under DJ's & Producers on AllHipHop. Click here for the full house.

AllHipHop.com: Well at least you’re an educated dude. You’ve got a Sociology degree from the University of Washington, and as you said worked a 9 to 5 as a file clerk in a courthouse. Have you been able to apply that education to the game and working within the industry?

Jake One: You know, I don’t think anything particular I learned in college has really helped me as far as that. More than anything it’s just being disciplined and following through on things and being on top of whatever it is. Whether that’s sending somebody beats in a timely fashion, or showing up somewhere on time, or just being reliable and being somebody of your word. I think going through education on some levels gives you more structure in your life. Some people have issues with that and it costs them gigs, so I would say that part of it has been real good.
