Just call Jacob Freeman, known to the Buffalo hip hop world as producer and MC Jake Sabers, a big ol´ rugged teddy bear with a cool beard and a flawless sense of clean, crisp fashion. Lover of 80s speed metal and skeptic of The Illuminati phenomenon, Jake Sabers has a lot of be proud of. Last year, the producer brought a grand idea to fruition when he shepherded artists within the Buffalo music community and opened Nickel City Records, a hip hop recording studio in downtown Buffalo. The industrial space, which doubled as an old garment factory and elevator manufacturing building back in the day, was transformed into an urban fortress of social networking, beat ingenuity, and artistic flowering in a matter of months. Currently on the horizon is an idea Jake calls a new hip hop type of marketing, which will include cypher events and other social gatherings to be held at the Nickel City Records building.
His forthcoming project, an emo-type parody album called The Cutting Party, is set to be released within a few months and will include guest verses from The GreYs and fellow members of his hip hop crew, Natural Ingredients. "It´s going to be ultra offensive. The first track is called, 'Don´t Be So Sensitive,'" Jake said. "It´s a project making fun of all of the BS in the scene that happens around here...Plus we rap over trap beats so it keeps the people moving...It´s joking with purpose." Razor blades, tears, and trap beats--sounds like Kid Cudi´s idea of a wickedly twisted time and it might make Drake step his game up a little. In the meantime, tissues and knives aside, give this flourishing producer's Acres of Diamonds beat tape a listen, and check out the spin-off track featuring Buffalo MC Alexander Anonymous.
