[@Bloodhoven]

is he singing AND producing his own beats?

[@starfalco13]

The thing I love about Jakey’s style is that he has such an extensive knowledge of past and current media and mixes it into his work to make it feel new and familiar at the same time. The sample of the sorority chant is a great example of that

[@samquik]

Turning "I wanna go A D Pi" from the chant into "I wanna go 85" was BRILLIANT

[@LoveSickWorld]

I really liked his use of the golden eye death sounds and slaps in You Know My Name lol

[@caseywalters6197]

This is a great point! Cafeteria and Not Dead Yet are perfect examples of this as well. Plus the depth of his writing is something that gets missed. He is incredibly talented

[@wazzee664]

It is no longer February but I just wanted to leave a comment saying that even if I have to wait all year, I'll wait. 2 years, I'll still wait. Whenever Jakey decides to come out with this album I will be just as excited as ever to hear it. I may not be a dinosaur sitting on a different planet across our galaxy but I still believe in you Jakey.

[@pinkguy69]

well you almost had to wait a year

[@Lucasattack2002]

[@primusmaximum]

I hope this isn't an imposter syndrome kind of situation, because I genuinely love everything he's made. I don't even listen to much trap/hip-hop type stuff but I had all of his tracks in my Spotify top 100 last year. Looking forward to this album to say the least, whenever it is ready!

jakey, i hope the work on the albums going well. I look forward to hearing the rest of the songs. Pine Barrens got me into the rest of your music and i can say that i am now not only a fan of you as a youtuber but as a musician as well. I wanted to say that if you are maybe feeling that the album isnt complete or finished, it may not ever feel that way. That’s the thing with personal projects, you always feel like you can do more, that it can be better, and that leads to never completing whatever it is. You may not be feeling this way, but just in case you are, i say go for it and put out the album, even if you aren’t 100% happy with it. You’ll feel better and i’m sure it’ll be great.
